Not Tiger Woods, This Is The Most Rich Golfer Who Has IDR 16 Trillion In Cash
JAKARTA - Maverick McNealy may not be well known to many people, but he is believed to be the richest golfer in the world.
Sports enthusiasts, especially golf, know better the name Tiger Woods is full of achievement or Paige Spiranac who is very sexy. Maverick, who is it?
The 25-year-old sits 128 in the PGA world rankings after turning professional in 2017.
Maverick is yet to make a comeback in the three major games he has played and has no win to his name on the PGA Tour. Then, where did he get his wealth?
As it turned out, he had a lot of money in the bank. Thanks in large part to his father, businessman Scott McNealy.
Maverick is the heir to a fortune of £ 800 million (IDR 16 trillion). Far above the golf legend Tiger Woods, who is believed to have a fortune of around £ 700 million (IDR 14 trillion).
Maverick's father Scott founded the computer technology company Sun Microsystems, with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy, and Andy Bechtolsheim in 1982.
He stepped back 11 years ago and sold the company for £ 5 billion. This is the reason Maverick's account balance is ballooning.
"My dad used to tell me that the most funded start-ups always fail", Maverick told Golf Digest.
"I don't judge my success at golf by how much money I make; I judge that by my effort and commitment", continued Maverick.
Although he inherited from his father, Maverick did not consider his life easy to live. His father always taught the importance of living independently.
"My brother and I never got paid, and my dad told us that after college, we had one summer to find work, and then we'd be independent", continued Maverick.
"Dad is going to make me pay rent to stay at home after school - I'm not kidding!", he said.
On the golf course, Maverick has a fairly low income, £ 1.8 million (IDR 36 billion).
Currently, Maverick has been in a relationship with LPGA Tour star Danielle Kang since 2019. Kang is ranked 5th in the world and has over £ 4 million in revenue.
