Ana Peleteiro’s wealth surpasses that of many Spanish athletes, making her one of the highest-paid competitors in the country. In a recent appearance on David Broncano’s ‘La Resistencia’ program on Movistar +, the Olympic, world, and European triple jump medalist disclosed an income that far exceeds the average for Spanish athletics, responding to the question ‘how much money do you have?’
“I’m not entirely certain, I have four companies and real estate investments. I have a passion for entrepreneurship,” Peleteiro explained. “I’m a successful businesswoman,” she proudly declared, attributing her success to surrounding herself with the right people and seeking expert advice. The 28-year-old Galician athlete estimated her net worth to be between 1.5 million and 2 million euros.

Peleteiro has previously stated that her athletic career is no longer her primary source of income, as she has successfully diversified her earnings through other ventures. For instance, she has a significant social media presence, with 443,000 followers whom she engages with daily through her stories. “To be successful, you need to be charismatic and attractive to brands. Share your work, take photos, sign autographs…”, she advised during a recent podcast appearance on ‘Take it with wine’.

The athlete revealed that during her time off from competition in 2022, when her daughter Lúa was born, she devoted 100% of her time to social media and doubled her earnings from the previous year, when she won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. “If I win a medal, my income is usually split 50-50 between my athletic achievements and my social media presence, with additional bonuses from my sponsor Adidas. However, nowadays, my primary source of income comes from social media,” she explained.
Ana Peleteiro refrained from participating in a triple jump competition on the resistance set, as she did not want to risk an injury during an Olympic year. The new season is set to begin on May 15 in Tenerife. Nevertheless, she mentioned that she resides in Guadalajara due to her coach Iván Pedroso’s presence and the city’s relatively calm atmosphere, which she finds conducive to her training.
“I previously lived in Madrid, but I would often go out and party. Those were my younger years, when I was 16, 17, and 18. In four years, I didn’t improve my personal record. I needed a change“, she recalled, reflecting on her time between 2012 and 2016. During that period, she lived in the CAR in Madrid after becoming the youth world champion in Barcelona at the age of 17, when she was already jumping over 14 meters. Before starting to work with Pedroso, she failed to qualify for the Rio Olympic Games. With the Cuban coach’s guidance, she improved her record in a matter of months, entered the final of the 2017 World Cup in London at the age of 21, and her successes began to unfold.
