Alex Morgan has been one of the biggest soccer stars in America for the past decade, thanks to her one-of-a-kind goals. The 30-something is a two-time FIFA World Cup champion and an Olympic gold medalist. She also won the Golden Boot in the last World Cup. According to Forbes, the forward is worth around $3 million.
Morgan's salary may feel like a large sum, but it isn't nearly as compatible with her male counterparts when broken down. When she won the 2019 World Cup, the entire team split the $4 million purse (via Celebrity Net Worth). Fans are well aware that this number is extremely unfair as the French men's team split $38 million for their win. Morgan would have received a $90,000 bonus for making it past the quarterfinals. The outlet broke down what the athlete would have earned with the rest of her teammates, noting that there was a qualifying and roster bonus of $37,500 respectively, a victory bonus of $110,00, the Victory Tour, which earned the team $61,869. The total earnings for Morgan would have been around $245,869. Naturally, if the USMNT ever were to win a World Cup, each player gets $1.1 million.
