While his salary isn't known, long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge has an estimated net worth of $3 million, according to Players Bio. In the past, he has received annual sponsorships to compete, including a deal worth seven million Kenya shillings from Isuzu East Africa — which equates to approximately $65,000 (per The Standard). His Instagram page shows numerous images of the athlete donning gear from Maurten — a sports drink company — and NN Investment Partners, suggesting he has benefited from sponsorships with those companies, too.
As a favorite to win a medal in the upcoming Olympic games, Kipchoge's net worth could grow if he sets another world record during a long distance event. He is known as one of the world's most impressive athletes, and regardless of whether or not he brings home gold, he told the Flotrack podcast he plans to tackle other competitions once the Olympics are finished.
On his impressive performance that shattered the two-hour benchmark for marathon running, The New York Times wrote that Kipchoge "achieved a sports milestone granted almost mythical status in the running world." If one thing is clear, Kipchoge has and continues to aim for the stars. When he's not running, Kipchoge spends his free time with his wife, Grace Sugutt, and their children.
