What brand endorsements does Allyson Felix have? Net worth, brands explored

Allyson Felix is the most decorated female athlete the world has witnessed. She is a track and field athlete best known for her 200m sprints. In terms of longevity, Felix's legacy is unmatched.

She won 11 Olympic medals, including four consecutive wins in 4x400m and two medals in 4x100m. Moreover, Allyson is among the richest female athletes and has a net worth of $4.5 million.

Considering her excellent performance and most decorated career, Nike signed a contract with her. She was a brand ambassador for one of the world's most popular sports brands. However, the company allegedly asked for a 70 percent pay cut when she was pregnant. Felix considered this disrespectful and said:

"If we have children, we risk pay cuts from our sponsors during pregnancy and afterward. It's one example of a sports industry where the rules are still mostly made for and by men."

Seven-time gold medalist Allyson negotiated a deal with Nike, which they declined. As a result, she canceled her contract with them. Eventually, after the fiasco, many companies, including Nike, revealed new contracts that would protect athletes' pay during pregnancy.

Felix appreciated the decision, but she never returned to working with Nike. Instead, she started her own fashion brand, 'Saysh'. She recently launched a new collection for her brand.
