Athletics is sport stripped to its essentials: run faster, jump higher, throw further. Its champions own the biggest stage of all at the Olympic Games, where a single race can define a lifetime.

Commercially, Fred Kerley leads with an estimated $5M net worth. Earning power tracks fame more than form, but it is part of the legacy question.
