Here's How Much Money Shawn Johnson Has Made From Gymnastics

Shawn Johnson followed up her show-stopping performance at the 2008 Olympics with an appearance on Dancing with the Stars in 2009 (which she also won, by the way). All this winning came with cash prizes that contribute to her net worth today. 

In 2018, NBC reported that Olympic athletes receive tens of thousands of dollars for the medals they earn. While those numbers may not have been the same when Johnson was competing, it's safe to assume her success put a decent chunk of change in her pocket. The Dancing with the Stars famed Mirrorball trophy comes with an even more impressive cash prize: roughly $300,000, according to IB Times. This means that while Johnson was still a teenager, she made more money than many do by the time they are well into adulthood — and she didn't stop there. 

According to her IMDb page, the former-Olympian has made numerous reality TV appearances since 2008, including an all-star season of Dancing with the Stars in 2012 and The Apprentice in 2015. While the exact amounts she earned for these appearances is unknown, E! News reported that reality stars could make thousands of dollars for their appearances.
