Usain Bolt Sees Millions of Dollars Disappear From Investment Account
Olympic Icon Usain Bolt Sees Millions of Dollars Disappear From Investment Account
The fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt reportedly noticed an issue with his investment account on Wednesday, and went on to find that millions of dollars were allegedly missing
BBC 15 JAN 2023
Olympic legend Usain Bolt has reportedly seen 'millions of dollars disappear' from an investment account. Bolt is known to be one of sport's greatest ever athletes, having set the 100-metre record at 9.58 seconds at the 2009 IAAF World Championships.
Usain Bolt won eight Olympic gold medals
His manager Walker told Jamaican newspaper The Gleaner: "All the relevant steps have been taken to come to the bottom of this. He’s been with this entity for over ten years. His entire portfolio is being reviewed."
The Gleaner also report that a 'former employee at SSL has been implicated in a massive fraud at the entity'.
The unnamed former employee's lawyer said her client had been in 'discussion with SSL and the lawyers representing SSL', with talks said to have started two weeks ago.
Following a meteoric career, Bolt is his sport's highest earning athlete, and by some way.
The majority of his earnings came via efforts off the track, with Forbes estimating that in his final year of competing in 2017, he made £25 million in earnings. In 2022, Celebrity Net Worth valued Bolt's net worth at £74 million.
On the track the Jamaican's CV is a long one, having won 100m and 200m titles at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 2012 Games in London and the 2016 event in Rio de Janeiro. He also won 4x100m relay gold medals with his Jamaican teammates in both 2012 and 2016.
