Ryan Crouser – $1 Million

Having come from a family of successful throwers, it is no surprise that Ryan Crouser has also made a name for himself in this sport. Growing up, Ryan was already practicing his throws in shot put, javelin, and discus, often spending his time at his grandfather’s place to throw.

Apparently, the Olympic record-holder also dabbled in track and field and basketball when he was younger. But Ryan knew competitive throwing was where he would really find success, so he concentrated on this field. With numerous medals and records to his name, he is definitely living up to his family’s legacy.
