So, I got curious the other day about how much money Rory McIlroy has. You know, the golfer? Yeah, that guy. I figured Forbes would be the place to check, since they’re always going on about who’s rich and who’s, well, not so rich.
First, I grabbed my laptop and fired up the old internet browser. Then I typed “Forbes” into the search bar and hit enter. Yep, landed on the Forbes website, no problem.
Digging for Rory
Next, I looked around for their search function, found it, and typed in “Rory McIlroy.” Boom! A bunch of articles about him popped up. Most of them were just general stuff, but there was one that looked promising, something about him being high on the list of richest athletes. I clicked on that one.
The article was interesting, it mentioned a lot of numbers regarding the highest-paid athletes, but it didn’t specifically say what Rory’s net worth was. I scrolled through the whole thing, just to be sure I didn’t miss anything.
- Opened my browser and searched for “Forbes.”
- Found the Forbes website and used their search bar to look up “Rory McIlroy.”
- Clicked on an article about the highest-paid athletes.
- Scanned the article, but it didn’t have the exact info I wanted.
The article mentioned that he signed a contract with TaylorMade. Then I tried searching “Rory Mcilroy TaylorMade contract” but there were a lot of numbers thrown around. Some said 100 million, some said 200 million. But it seems like it is a 10-year, 100 million deal, and this was signed in 2017. Also, in 2017, he renewed his contract with Nike, which is another 100 million. Looks like this guy made a lot of money.
So, I didn’t exactly find the precise net worth number from Forbes directly. It seems like his net worth is somewhere around 200 million, maybe a bit more or less. I’d say that’s a pretty good chunk of change for hitting a little white ball around, right?
I guess I will need to keep searching around if I want an exact number, but for now, this is enough to satisfy my curiosity.
