Legend Sha’Carri Richardson just say a big yes to 12-years contract to…

Richardson is a Dallas, TX, native whose track career has experienced some hills and valleys but never infused extreme doubt for anyone who has followed the star’s journey. Her athletic prowess was confirmed even further when she qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Richardson’s 2024 qualification is a testament to her resilience following a challenging period in 2021. According to a Forbes profile, a failed drug test led to a one-month suspension, causing her to miss the Tokyo Olympics. Her candid discussion about using cannabis to cope with the stress of Olympic qualifying and the loss of her biological mother earned her widespread respect. Despite the emotional turmoil, Richardson returned triumphantly in 2023, securing gold in the 100 meters at the World Championships for the fifth-fastest time in history, per the outlet. She also claimed a bronze medal in the 200 meters.

Based on a Nike interview, Richardson credits her current success and focus on the intentional inner work she’s been doing.

“Once I step on the track, it’s literally another level of intuition. It’s another level of commitment to that inner peace. Because once in that moment, there’s literally nobody else,” Richardson stated.

She continued: “…So right now, I just have to be with myself. What helps me with my inner peace when I’m on that line is actually knowing and telling myself that I’m my biggest fan. I’m my biggest fan; I’m my biggest critic. I’m prepared to criticize myself, I’m prepared to congratulate myself, I’m prepared to uplift myself.”

The 24-year-old has maximized that effort and turned it into lucrative opportunities. According to an Essentially Sports report, Richardson’s estimated net worth ranges from $1 million to $5 million. A part of this is her partnership with Nike.
