Gary Player (Net Worth: $250 million)

Gary Player is one of the greatest golf players in history and one of the richest in the world. Throughout his career, the South African won more than 160 tournaments, with nine major championship titles on the regular tour and another nine on the Champions Tour. At 29 years old, he became the only non-American who has won all four majors (called the Career Grand Slam). During that time, he was the youngest to achieve the feat, but that record has been broken. There are just five players in history that have achieved a career Grand Slam.

In 1974, the South African was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, though his accomplishments in golf are not just exclusively limited to what he has achieved on the course. He is a well-known golf course architect as well, with over 400 design projects in five different continents. In addition, he has excelled as an author, and he has written or co-authored over 35 different books on golf. Because of his efforts, Player has been nicknamed the International Ambassador of Golf. Player has an estimated net worth of around $250 million, owing to his successful careers as an author, architect, and of course, athlete.
