Team GB star Adam Peaty has an impressive net worth.
The triple Olympic champ is a swimming sensation, bagging 100m breaststroke golds at both the Rio and Tokyo Games, and smashing 14 world records throughout his career. His absolute reign in the 100m breaststroke – just one of many events he’s competed in – saw him clinch every European, Commonwealth, World and Olympic final from 2014 to 2021.
In that same year, the swimmer became a household name by strutting his stuff on Strictly Come Dancing, where he finished ninth. In 2023, Peaty took a breather from racing and also sparked up a romance with Holly Ramsay, daughter of telly chef Gordon Ramsay.

Peaty’s determination to win Olympic gold will resonate with the popular TV chef, who himself has bagged an impressive 17 Michelin stars. However, the Olympic hero’s wealth doesn’t quite match up to Ramsay’s fortune and that of some other athletes.

As an Olympic swimmer, Peaty’s professional career is largely supported lottery and government funding, with Team GB athletes not pocketing extra cash for an Olympic podium finish. This makes his earnings a bit tricky to nail down, with estimates of his net worth ranging from £780k to a cool £3.9million, reports the Mirror.
Outside of his swimming triumphs, Peaty has bagged a lucrative sponsorship deal with Speedo. The 29 year old is also an entrepreneur, having established the Adam Peaty Sports Clinic to mentor budding athletes, as well as the AP Race Club, offering guidance to swimmers.

It’s reported that Peaty pocketed at least £25k for his stint on Strictly, where he met Holly’s sister Tilly Ramsay. However, the Olympic swimmer’s earnings are dwarfed by those of his girlfriend’s famous father. Celebrity Net Worth estimates Ramsay’s fortune at a staggering £170million, with annual earnings of £46million.
Peaty has admitted that spending time with Ramsay has been beneficial in the lead up to the Paris Olympics, where he won a silver medal in the 100m breaststroke on Sunday (July 28). “He’s an incredible energy to be around and an incredible person to have that guidance from,” Peaty told The Sunday Times.

“Gordon is a high performer. He worked his way up to the upper echelons of his industry and works in a place where there’s no b*******. I take a lot from that and from the professionalism he has every single day with a relentless pursuit.
“So, when I see that, I’m like, ‘Yeah, why can’t I work like this? Why can’t I do this every single day? Why do I have to be so emotionally engaged with things? So I’ve changed my manner from seeing the way he operates around people and operates around his job.”
