Asher-Smith enters the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at Paris 2024.
The golden girl of British sprinting and the fastest woman in the nation’s history, Dina Asher-Smith has won over the UK both for her efforts on the track and her down-to-earth, friendly, and cheery demeanour.
Asher-Smith has made good on her potential as a junior European and World gold medallist, collecting seven gold medals across her career. All that’s left coming into the 2024 Paris Games is the coveted Olympic gold medal.
With such a stellar career and a prominent place in the public eye, some people wonder, what is Dina Asher-Smith’s net worth?
Salary & Funding
Team GB athletes don’t get a salary per se, but they do get funding via the National Lottery in the form of the Athlete Performance Awards.
These awards aren’t designed to support athletes who’d otherwise be considered professionals, but rather, they contribute to living and sporting costs to enable the pursuit of major championship medals.
How much each athlete gets from the APA hasn’t been made public for Paris 2024. However, we do know that £22,766,243 has gone into athletics for Paris alone, which would average £361,369 per athlete.
Given the relative lack of equipment cost and her stack of endorsements, it’d be fair to assume that Asher-Smith gets less than this average if more goes to sports with higher and more specific sporting costs, as well as those more in need of financial support to compete.
As noted, Asher-Smith makes a great deal of her earnings from endorsements. She’s signed deals with many major brands over the years, which will have padded the speedster’s bank account very nicely.
How Much Is Dina Asher-Smith Worth?
The net worth of Dina Asher-Smith is cited by some as being over £5 million, while others slide towards a more conservative figure of about £1 million.
On the one hand, we have the relatively low pay (in professional sports terms) for athletes. On the other, there’s the many endorsements in Asher-Smith’s portfolio.
The true net worth figure will only be known by the Orpington native and her accountant, but a more sensible estimate would probably land in the £2.5 million to £3.5 million range in 2024.
Endorsement Deals
Dina Asher-Smith has an endorsement, collaboration, and ambassadorship portfolio nearly as impressive as her medal shelf.
She’s currently endorsed by Nike and Hublot while also having been a brand ambassador for PureGym, Eurosport, and Müller UK & Ireland.
Her other works include featuring for BBC Sport when not competing, columns for national papers like the Daily Telegraph, and starring in a documentary for Eurosport.
Britain’s fastest woman has also had a Barbie made in her image and modelled at fashion events for Off-White, Nike, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton, among others.
Accolades and Records
Dina Asher-Smith boasts a haul of six gold medals at the European Championships, which span 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, a 200m gold at the World Championships, and two Olympic bronze medals in the 4x100m.
For Paris 2024, Asher-Smith very much looks to be a dark horse contender in the Olympic tips for the 100m and 200m, sitting around fifth or sixth if ranked by the odds. In the relay, another medal is very much on the cards.
On a national level, the fleet-footed Londoner is the fastest woman ever. She’s got the 100m and 200m records at 10.83 seconds and 21.88 seconds, respectively, and was part of the record-breaking 4x100m team that hit 41.77 seconds.
Who is Dina Asher-Smith's Coach?
Dina Asher-Smith is currently coached by Edrick Floréal. To join the camp run by ‘Flo,’ which also features fellow world-class athletes like Julien Alfred and Rhasidat Adeleke, she had to move out to Austin, Texas.
Prior to moving across the pond, she was trained by John Blackie for 19 years.
Dina Asher-Smith Football Team
While she likely won’t be turning to the Premier League outright odds in the sports betting to back them, Asher-Smith is a big Manchester United fan.
How Old is Dina Asher-Smith?
Born on 4 December 1995, Dina Asher-Smith entered the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as a 28-year-old, which many would assume is right in the middle of the bracket of her physical prime.
Is Dina Asher-Smith Married?
At the time of writing, the sprinter has yet to go public as being in a relationship with anyone in particular, nor has she said that she’s married.
In the public eye, Asher-Smith is all about her athletics, endorsements, and poignant takes on world events. What she’s done very well over the years is keep her private life exactly that.
