Ted went to Yosemite High School, located in Oakhurst, California, and after matriculation enrolled at Fresno City College. During his college years, Ted played baseball for the Fresno City College Rams, then declared for the 1996 MLB Draft. He was selected only in the 23rd round of the draft by the Los Angeles Draft, but was sent to minor league affiliate clubs, and never got to wear the Dodgers jersey as he was traded to the Montreal Expos in 1998, alongside Wilton Guerrero, Jonathan Tucker, and Peter Bergeron, in exchange for Carlos Pérez, Mark Grudzielanek, and Hiram Bocachica.
He made his debut for the Expos in 1999, and played in nine games during his rookie season, making 28 strikeouts. He was then traded to the New York Yankees where he played until 2002, having a breakthrough season in 2001 with 112 strikeouts in the 26 games that he played. Ted was then sent to the Oakland Athletics in 2002, appearing only in two games of the season, but then in 2003 he had his career high in game appearances with 32, starting 31 games and scoring 12 wins and 10 lost games with 147 strikeouts. Following the successful season, he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays where he continued to play well, starting in 32 games and increasing the number of strikeouts to 168. Thanks to his successful plays, he made it to the All-Star game for the first time in his career, and boosted his net worth.
He became a free agent in 2006, and joined the Chicago Cubs on a $40 million worth contract over four years, which increased his wealth by a large degree. He had his best career season in 2008 when he posted 184 strikeouts in 34 starts, and the next year played in his second All-Star game. He stayed with the Cubs one more season before he was sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers, signing a contract worth $33 million over three years, however, his game performance began to decline, mostly due to chronic injuries, and in 2013 he was released by the franchise. Deciding not to retire just yet, he signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants, but that didn’t last long, as he and the Giants front office couldn’t agree on all details.
Avoiding imminent retirement, Ted tried himself in the Venezuela Winter League, but his injuries persisted, and he announced his retirement in November 2013.
In March following year Ted was named as a special assistant at the Chicago Cubs, which also contributed to his wealth.
Regarding his personal life, Ted is married to Natasha – a veterinarian – with whom he has a son together, Theodore Roosevelt IV, born in 2010. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Lilly family are animal rights activists, and are part of several organizations that help animals. They reside in Oakhurst, California.
Back in 2015, Ted had legal problems; he was caught in a vehicle insurance fraud, and had to pay $2,500, also receiving 250 hours of community service as a part of his bargain plea.

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.
