Nancy Kerrigan

Nancy Kerrigan was one of the most-watched performers on ice skating back in the days as she and fellow skater Tonya Harding constantly competed. However, the fierce rivalry for a spot in the Olympics took a dramatic turn when Harding’s ex-husband ordered someone to hit Nancy’s right knee with a baton after a practice. Following the incident, everyone turned their eyes to her rival, Harding, who denied any connections to the crime.

Kerrigan lost her spot in the Olympics but later returned to the ice. She eventually took home a silver medal after losing to Ukrainian newcomer Oksana Baiul. After her ice skating career, Kerrigan appeared as a guest in several TV shows, worked as a TV host, and even a reporter. One thing is for sure; she has put her investments in the right place as her net worth is estimated to be at $8 million.
