O.J. Simpson – $3 Million

Yes, the notorious O.J. Simpson did make his fortune as a football player. He was an outstanding running back for the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 94ers. And yet, today, few people remember him for his athletic prowess. After all, Simpson will forever be linked to his sensational murder trial and subsequent (albeit unrelated) arrest in 2007…

After serving for almost nine years, Simpson was released from prison in October 2017. When he came out, he was lucky still to have a respectable net worth of $3 million. In 2021, he made the news after publicly supporting Liz Cheney in her GOP leadership battle.
