Amanda Beard Speedo Model

FHM has called Amanda Beard the “World’s Sexiest Athlete,” but thanks to her entrepreneurial spirit, she’s set to become one of the world’s richest athletes. She’s currently raking in $15,000 for speaking engagements, and she recently signed a contract for $1 million to become the spokesmodel for a line of Speedo swimwear.

Amanda also boasts endorsement deals for several other products, which push her yearly earnings up near the eight figure range. Will an upcoming Playboy pictorial hurt her earnings potential? Doubtful—these days, celebrity sex tapes only serve to raise one’s profile, so a nude photo shoot looks pretty mundane by comparison.
