A Danish Olympian who competed at the 2012 and 2016 Games boasts a fortune worth more than LeBron James and Lionel Messi's net worths.
It's no secret that the biggest names in sports can earn amounts of money that are hard to imagine for the everyday person.
Unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo topped Forbes list of highest-paid athletes in 2025 with the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star taking home a massive $275million (£205.12m) last year.
For only the second time since the Forbes list has been made annually, every member of the top 10 made at least $100m (£74.6m) last year, with the likes of Steph Curry, NBA rival James and Messi also included.

But there's one former Olympian who didn't make the list despite the fact she boasts a net worth that far exceeds both James and Messi's.
Messi has enjoyed one of the most impressive careers in the history of football that saw him win a record eight Ballon d'Or awards as well as the numerous La Liga, Champions League, and Copa del Rey titles with Barcelona and the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina.
In 2025, the football icon, who currently plays for David Beckham's Inter Miami, took home a total of $135million (£100.6m), with his overall net worth estimated to be around $850m (£633.9m)
Likewise James, who many consider to be the greatest NBA player of all time having won the championship on four occasions, while also being named NBA Finals MVP and NBA Most Valuable Player four times.

But both men's net worths pail in comparison to the amount that Anna Kasprzak, a Danish equestrian who has competed twice in the Olympic Games.
The 36-year-old represented her country in both the 2012 London Olympic Games and Rio 2016, with her best result being in 2012 when she placed 4th in the team competition.
Her mother, Hanni Toosbuy Kasprzak, is the billionaire owner of Danish shoe brand ECCO, with her father, Dieter Kasprzak, being the former CEO.
Along with her mother mother and brother Andre, Forbes states that Kasprzak owns $1.46 billion of shares in the shoe manufacture.
Although reports regarding the Olympian's net worth are conflicting, it is widely estimated that it ranges from $1.3 to $1.46 billion. (£969m - £1.08b) putting her ahead of both James, Messi and many other of the biggest names in sport.
