Lance Armstrong's Personal Wealth

Road cycling

by TurboMuncher (U13348039) 29 October 2008

I'm very surprised that whenever sports stars' personal wealth is estimated in the media, nobody ever takes into account the wealth that Lance amassed as a paperboy before he turned pro.

Because of his natural speed, Lance was able to complete 6 or 7 paper rounds on his bike in the space of time it would normally take another paperboy to do just the one. He must have made an absolute fortune when he was 13.
