Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and his current net worth is $70 million.

Bolt grew up in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica along with his family, Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt and his brother Sadiki, and his sister Sherine.

His mom and dad used to run a local grocery store in the rural area, and Bolt used to spend his time playing cricket and football with his brother.

He is also an avid fan of the Call of Duty video game series, saying “I stay up late [playing the game online], I can’t help it.”

Growing up, he went to Waldensia Primary where he first started showing sprinting potential, when he run in the annual national primary-schools’ meeting.

He had already become the school’s fastest runner over the 100 meters distance, by the age of 12.

After he went to high school he kept focusing on other sports until his cricket coach noticed his speed on the pitch and told him he should try track and field events.

At the beginning of his career he was coached by two great people, Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprint athlete and Dwayne Jarrett, who often encouraged him to improve his athletic abilities.

Today Bolt is the first person to hold both the 100 meters and 200 meters world records since fully automatic time became mandatory.

The eight-time Olympic gold medalist won the 100m, 200m, and 4 times the 100m relay at three consecutive Olympic Games.

He became internationally famous after his double sprit victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the world record times.

Because of his achievements in sprinting he has earned a lot of awards including the media nickname “Lighting Bolt”, and IAAF World Athlete of the Year.

Today, he is the most successful athlete of the World Championships and the fastest man alive. Bolt’s top speed, based on his split time of 1.61 s for the 20 meters from the 60- to 80-meter marks (made during the 9.58 WR at 100m), is 12.42 m/s (44.72 km/h (27.79 mph)).
