I just read that Anky Van Grunsven was mentioned in "Sportweek" (Netherlands equivalent of Fortune 500) as the "richest Equestrian Athlete" in the Netherlands.
78 of the 100 richest Dutch sportsmen are soccer players. However, four equestrian riders are also mentioned in the list with Anky van Grunsven leading as richest equestrian athlete. She covers the 12th place of this Top 100 with an estimated annual income of 3.6 million euro. Van Grunsven is also the best earning female Dutch athlete of the year.
Wow!!
