George Foreman – Net Worth $300 Million

George Foreman was an Olympic gold medalist and a world heavyweight champion. As an expert fighter, he was nicknamed “Big George” and contended somewhere in the range of 1969 and 1997. You would think that a world-class champion would not experience any financial crisis but Foreman had encountered great financial loss after he retired in 1977. He was a Christian minister at that time.

Fortunately, he was able to secure investment money after a businessman offered to use his name and call it George Foreman Grill! The business became successful and we’re pretty sure he was able to pay off all his debts. In 2009, the business sold over 100 million units. He allegedly received $138 million for the right to use his name. Foreman is also a partner in the Panther Racing IndyCar team and writer with five books under his name. His story is that of amazing success and perseverance.
