17. Phil Knight – Net Worth: $24.4 Billion
It is a new day at Nike. Phil Knight announced earlier this year that he was stepping down as chairman of the company, and Mark Parker, who has a long history working with the company, will be taking over for Knight. Nike continues to be a sports brand unlike any other in the industry, and some of the most high-profile athletes on the planet have endorsement deals with the company. LeBron James, Roger Federer, Rory McIlroy, Derek Jeter and Johnny Manziel are a handful of the athletes who have had relationships with Nike. It appears that the future will continue to be bright for the company.
