ccording to staff writer Wayde Brown for Irie FM’s news website,Usain Bolt made a whopping estimated figure of £5 million per second for his Rio Olympic appearance.

The website went on to state the following: “Triple world record holder Usain Bolt’s victory in the men’s 100m final at the Rio Olympics earned him a whopping £5 million per second according to financial expert Paul Garbett of marketing firm Fast Track.

Garbett told The Sun “Usain is a marketing man’s dream. Brands will be keen to cash in as he approaches the twilight of his career. A farewell tour could net him a fortune.”

The 29 year old stormed to his third successive 100m title, and 7th gold medal overall, as he bids to become the first man to win an unprecedented ‘triple-triple’ of gold medals in 3 consecutive Olympics.

According to the experts, the success, which was secured as he raced home in 9.81 seconds, has doubled his earning potential in the next 12 months.

Bolt has so far amassed a £47 million fortune in advertising and sponsorship deals over the course of his career, a figure that’s expected to hit £55 million in the next year.

The former William Knibb High standout, currently has marketing deals with companies including Puma, Gatorade, Virgin Media and Hublot and is likely to land more lucrative partnerships following his success in Brazil where he is also bidding to win gold in the 4x100m relay to take his tally to nine Olympic titles.”
