Jesse Owens, known as a remarkable runner in Alabama, is said to have an estimated net worth of $2 million in 2024. Owens was a world-renowned track and field athlete who gained prominence for his extraordinary performances in the 1936 Olympic Games, held in Berlin. Despite facing racial discrimination, Owens emerged victorious, winning four gold medals and shattering records in the process. His outstanding achievements and impact on the world of sports have undoubtedly contributed to his significant net worth.
African-American track star won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, winning in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m, and long jump. A year earlier, he set three world records in less than an hour while competing for Ohio State University.
He was called Jesse only because his southern accent made J.C. difficult to hear.
The Jesse Owens Award, named after him, is considered the highest honor for track and field athletes.
He was together with Minnie Ruth Solomon from high school until his death.
He won four track and field gold medals at the 1936 Olympics, a feat not match until Carl Lewis did the same in 1984.
