Shawn Johnson – $10 Million

As a young girl growing up in Iowa, Shawn Johnson’s version of playtime was climbing the cabinets and jumping off the tables around their house. When her parents saw this, they decided that all that energy could be put to better use, so they enrolled her in a gymnastics class when she was just three years old.

That decision turned out to be a perfect one. Shawn was a powerhouse, winning medals left and right in various international competitions as a competitive gymnast. Her successful gymnastics career made her a popular endorser and TV celebrity, which catapulted her net worth, especially after her Olympics stint.
