Usain Bolt has been recently in the headlines for suffering financial fraud, of more than $12 million, by a private investment firm in Jamaica. However, Bolt has always been a contributor to society, and his money issues are not new. In 2016, Usain Bolt was found in a problem with his money as well. Although at that time he was intentionally giving away his money to the needful people. However, the police had to intervene in that matter to stop Bolt from doing the same.
Usain Bolt has always been a kind-hearted person. Bolt has seen all aspects of life, from having very less to having everything. And he never backed off from helping someone in need.
