Arnold Palmer (Net Worth: $700 million)
Arnold Palmer was born in 1929 and is widely considered the greatest golfer of all time. Nicknamed “The King,” Palmer is a PGA pioneer and the first golf superstar of the television age, when the sport found its way to TV back in the 1950s. No other professional golfer has had quite the social impact like Palmer did and his emergence as a humble and charismatic superstar helped change people’s perception of golf. The sport used to be viewed as elite and upper-class but because of him, golf became an accessible and fun sport for all types of players. Palmer is also among the most talented golfers in history and he won many tournaments as well.
