Max Whitlock is the UK’s greatest modern male artistic gymnast.
-
The Hertfordshire gymnast also has the best medal haul in the pommel horse in Olympic Games history.
-
Whitlock arrived in Paris seeking to become the first modern artistic gymnast to win medals at four Games.
Coming into the 2024 Paris Summer Games, Max Whitlock was already Britain’s most successful gymnast and the greatest Olympic athlete in the pommel horse event.
With a shelf that boasts 14 gold medals from the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Championships, and European Championships, Whitlock opted for Tokyo 2020 not to be his final outing.
In Paris, Whitlock will have the chance to add a couple more medals to his already incredible haul, and with this being his fourth Games, some are looking to find out the net worth of Max Whitlock.
Salary & Funding
Athletes don’t earn a salary, per se, from the country or the Team GB organisation, but there are funding awards available to promote success at the Olympic Games.
For Paris 2024, the Athlete Performance Awards pumped £13,445,737 into the gymnastics program. This money is earmarked to help cover the living and sporting expenses of the athletes.
Were this to be spread evenly between the Team GB gymnasts, Whitlock would have been in for £1,034,287 in funding.
How Much is Max Whitlock Worth?
Max Whitlock’s net worth could be anywhere between £600,000 and £5 million at this time. Without his accounts and list of assets being publically listed, it’s impossible to get a firm figure for his net worth.
What we do know is that, per the most recent filings, his two companies combine for over £570,000 in net assets. Oldwynn Limited held net assets of £501,813, and Max Whitlock Gymnastics Ltd recorded £69,235 in net assets.
Whitlock would have also stood to make a nice bit of income from his 2022-released fitness book, The Whitlock Workout: Get Fit and Healthy in Minutes.
Should he make good on the Olympic tips backing the Team GB star to land another medal, Whitlock’s net worth would inevitably grow further with future endorsements and deals.
Endorsements
Being so successful on the biggest sporting stage of all, it makes sense that Whitlock has had a great many major brands come looking for partnerships and endorsements.
As it stands, Lego, Adidas, and Aldi are listed as his primary endorsements. Gymnast Max Whitlock also featured in Samsung’s advertising campaign in 2020 for the Ecobubble washing machine.
Accolades and Records
Toting the title of the best pommel horse athlete in Olympic history, you can bet that he has quite the stack of medals in all competitions.
Prior to departing for Paris, Whitlock’s shelf featured two Olympic gold and one bronze medal in the pommel horse as well as another gold for floor exercise, bronze for team, and another bronze for all-around.
So, it makes sense that in sports betting markets, Whitlock enters among the favourites to make it onto the Olympic podium in his two events of 2024.
Beyond the Olympic Games, the Brit has collected three gold and five silver World Championships medals, another eight on the European stage – four of which are gold – and ten Commonwealth medals.
