Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Net Worth $6 Million
Dominique has Haitian blood in his veins. The moment he was born, Dominique had health problems, as he had a non-working kidney, which was removed when he had eight years old. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop young Dominique from pursuing his dreams; once he reached high school he played football for the Lakewood Ranch High School, and earned All-Area, All-Class 5A, and All-District 11 defensive back and wide receiver honors. After his first year, he transferred to Lake Highland Preparatory School in Orlando, Florida, and after matriculation enrolled at Tennessee State University, where he continued with his football career, playing for the Tennessee State Tigers football team between 2004 to 2007, and becoming one of the best defensive backs that played in those three years. He also excelled in track and field. The fact is that he comes from a family of sportsman, as his father Stanley was also a former assistant basketball coach at Bethune Cookman, and his cousins Antonio Comartie, Marcus Cromartie, and Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith are also football players, and certainly inspired him to overcome early health problems and put all effort in becoming a respectable football player.
He declared for the 2008 draft, and was selected by the Arizona Cardinals as the 16th overall pick; although he was projected as a relatively low pick, he did well at the NFL combine, which ultimately gave him a higher draft position. He signed his first professional contract on the 25th July that year, which secured him $9 million over five years, with an additional $6.1 million in bonuses. In his rookie season, he started 11 games, and made 38 combined tackles, four interceptions, one of which resulted in a touchdown.
For the following season, his game improved, which secured him a place in the starting line-up. That year, the Cardinals reached Super Bowl, and he made five tackles in the final game, which the Cardinals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a tight margin, 27-23.
Following the end of the 2009 season, in which he had 50 combined tackles and six interceptions, Dominique was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles with a second round pick, for Kevin Kolb. Also, that season he earned his first Pro-Bowl appearance.
In the early matches he didn’t have much success at his new team, however, in the last four games, his game improved, and in the following season, he made 51 combined tackles, and three interceptions.
His contract expired at the end of 2012 season, and he became a new member of the Denver Broncos, signing a contract worth $5 million for one year. He played in 15 games for the Broncos and made 31 combined tackle with three interceptions again. After the Broncos, he joined the New York Giants on a five-year contract worth $35 million, which increased his wealth to a large degree. Since he joined the Giants, Dominique has been playing his best football, and in 2015 had his career-high season in tackles with 58, which earned him his second Pro-Bowl appearance, while in 2016, he recorded six interceptions, tying the result from 2009.
Regarding his personal life, little is known about Dominique’s private affairs, as he tends to keep such information as his marital status and number of children hidden from the public eyes.

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.
