Anna Kasprzak, the Olympian who earns more than Ronaldo and Messi

Unless you're a fan of dressage, Anna Kasprzak's name may not ring a bell but despite being relatively unknown to the mainstream, she has an incredible and unique career.

This includes a fourth and a sixth place in two separate Olympic Games, but there's a lot more to her story...

Kasprzak is also an incredibly successful business person and, according to Forbes, at barely 30 years old she already had more than 1.3 billion dollars in assets. This easily puts her at the top of the highest-earning athletes in the world.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Cristiano Ronaldo has a net worth of 500 million dollars, for the 600 million dollars that Leo Messi accumulates.

Anna Kasprzak has more than the two best players in soccer history combined.

This young Danish woman is an outstanding rider who participated in the London 2012 Olympic Games (fourth place) and in the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games (sixth) in the discipline of Team Dressage with Denmark.

On an individual level, the rider finished 18th in Rio 2016 and 14th in London 2012.

A year later, at the 2017 European Dressage Championships, she would finish in a creditable second place in the team event.

But if in sport, Kasprzak has been riding a horse, in business it can be said that she has been in a Ferrari.

The businesswoman is the owner, alongside her mother, Hanni Toosbu Kasprzak, and her brother, Andre Kasprzak, of the well-known Danish shoe company ECCO.

The company was founded in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy, Anna Kasprzak's grandfather, and thus now has the third generation on its board of directors.

Of course, it is currently a multinational with sales of 1,460 million dollars in 2021, according to Forbes.

And it is that ECCO is present in more than 90 countries and has more than 2,200 stores in all of them, as well as a powerful online store.

Interestingly, Anna Kasprzak started horseback riding at the age of 4, following in the footsteps of her mother and brother.

Two decades later, he would follow in the footsteps of his mother and brother but in the business sphere, on the board of directors of Ecco.

And as if that were not enough, Anna Kasprzak also has a private dressage stable in Haderslev (Denmark) where she maintains a good competitive level, despite her business chores.
