O.J. Simpson | $3 Million

Former professional football player, sports commentator, and actor OJ Simpson has a net worth of $3 million. Simpson had a rather rough childhood, but things later changed for the better. He later met Willie Mays, a baseball star who inspired him to get his act together. By changing the path that he was on, Simpson found much success and even played football for the University of Southern California under a scholarship.

In 1969, Simpson was drafted by the Buffalo Bills as the No. 1 player and negotiated a five-year $650,000 contract. It was the largest contract in professional sports history at the time, which, adjusted for inflation, would be worth about $4.8 million today. His career with the NFL is legendary and he still remains a favorite for many fans, even after he has retired. While he has faced a number of difficulties in recent years, which have cost him a significant amount of investment money, things are slowly looking up for the former athlete.
