Keenan Allen Net Worth $1.5 Million
Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, Allen is the son of Donie Mayanrd-Lang and Keith Allen. He was always an active kid, playing multiple sports in high school, and during his time at Northern Guilford High School he was a Football player, and a track and field athlete as well, but it was the former that he excelled in the most. Allen was a 2009 high school All-American according to USA Today and Parade, and also played in the US Army All-American Bowl, and was considered by Rivals.com and Scout.com as a five-star recruit.
With his thriving Football career in high school, Allen attended University of California, Berkeley and continued playing the sport as the wide receiver for the California Golden Bears football team, from 2010 to 2012, when he decided to leave during his junior year to become a professional. He had a school record of 205 receptions from 2,570 yards, and scored 25 touchdowns before leaving for the NFL.
Allen was not able to join the 2012 season due to a posterior cruciate ligament injury, or PCL. Finally, he was able to join the following year and was drafted in the third round, 76th overall by the Los Angeles Chargers. His induction into the NFL catapulted his career and also started his net worth.
Although Allen was mostly on the reserve bench during the early games of the 2013 season, he was later on given more playing time, starting the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, immediately emerging as one of the top rookies of the season, during which he was voted four times as the NFL rookie of the week, subsequently also named NFL Rookie of the Year by Sporting News, and Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association. He was also voted by the fans as the Pepsi NEXT NFL Rookie of the Year.
The following years became tough for Allen after he experienced a couple of injuries. In 2014, he was able to play for most of the season but had to miss the last two games after suffering a broken collarbone. In 2015, he was forced to leave the season in November when he suffered a kidney injury. The hardest challenge he faced came in 2016 when he had to forego playing for the whole season, after tests revealed that he had an ACL tear. Despite the challenges he faced he was able to renew his contract with the Chargers, that continued his pro Football career and also increased his wealth.
In September 2017, Allen was able to go back to playing Football and joined his team against Denver Broncos. He also made history after becoming the first NFL player to record three consecutive games of 10+ catches, 100+ receiving yards, and at least one touchdown, with a season’s total of 102 receptions – the most in Chargers’ history – from 1,393 yards and with six touchdowns. At the end of the season, Allen was named to his first Pro Bowl, and was rewarded with the title NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
After five years, Allen is still with the Chargers and is still playing professional Football with the NFL.
In terms of his personal life, Allen is engaged to his Ciandra Monique; together they have two children, Kamari and Kaliyah.

Tiger Woods Net Worth
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.
So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.
Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million
Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.
Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.
Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.
Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.
