Bolt is believed to command in the region of US$300,000 in appearance fees per track meet however, the bulk of the athlete’s earnings come from his numerous commercial deals, with Forbes accrediting US$20 million of his US$20.3 million income to endorsement arrangements with companies such as Puma, Hublot and Gatorade.
