Following Lia Thomas' controversial win in the 500-yard freestyle event at the US collegiate championships in Atlanta, sporting fans now want to know what her net worth is in 2022.
The University of Pennsylvania swimmer recently became the first transgender athlete to win a National Collegiate Athletic Association first place title.
Now 22-years-old, Thomas is paving her way as a successful and promising athlete.
What is Lia Thomas' net worth?
As of 2022, Lia Thomas' net worth is around $200K, according to VimBuzz.
The athlete is also a senior economics major at the university, according to SI.
The college athlete absolutely blasted her recent competition and hit the wall more than a second-and-a-half ahead of Emma Weyant, who finished in 4:34.99.
Aside from her huge swimming success and the gruelling training that she undergoes for her sport, Thomas is like any other university student - juggling both 'sleeping' and 'studying'.
The sports publication believes 'she has an outside chance to break longstanding collegiate records help by Katie Kedecky and Missy Franklin', who are both iconic American Olympians and swimming stars.
Thomas is hoping to continue her love of the sport at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and might even be going as far to beat Ledecky's records, according to the site.
Thomas said: "I don't know exactly what the future of my swimming will look like after this year, but I would love to continue doing it.
"I want to swim and compete as who I am."
