Usain Bolt, the six-time Olympic winner from Jamaica is among the highest paid Olympian athletes, it's been reported. With a net worth of approximately $60 million, the track and field phenom has announced plans to retire in 2017 - at age 30!

Considered the fastest human on the planet, CelebrityNetWorth.com also lists Bolt as one of the world's highest-paid athletes with his $60 million net worth and approximate $20 annual income.

Being considered one of the world's highest paid athletes is no surprise considering his record-breaking runs on the international sports stage. Having set world records in the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 4x100 meter relay, Bolt won three gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. During this year's Rio games he sprinted his way to the gold in this past Sunday's 100 meter race, though unexpectedly finished 15th during Tuesday's 200 meter relay.

Though most of the runner's money comes in from brand endorsements, he still makes a pretty penny through his own entrepreneurial endeavors in creating the "Bolt brand." 

For example, this Olympic legend and track & field favorite is able to charge upwards of $300,000 for track meet appearances, according to reports. But for Bolt there's more to life than just sports. 

The Jamaican native also owns a popular restaurant in Kingston called "Tracks & Records," published his autobiography "Usain Bolt: Faster Than Lightning" in 2013, and will also feature in a documentary about his life titled "I Am Bolt" that is scheduled to hit screens later in 2016.

In terms of endorsement deals, Bolt rakes in pay checks from sponsorships with big name companies including Puma, Gatorade, Nissan, Hublet, Visa, Virgin Media, and more. Of his $20 reported annual income, over nine million comes thanks to Puma alone. Aside from just sporting Puma's signature kicks, Bolt collaborated with the sportswear company to offer up an entire signature clothing line sporting his name.

With all the publicity garnered throughout the 2016 Olympic games, it's only logical to deduce that Bolt's good name and net worth will both increase exponentially, even with his alleged plans to retire by 2017.
