The Olympic, world and European triple jump medalist revealed this Monday on David Broncano’s ‘La Resistencia’ program on Movistar + an income that is well above the average for Spanish athletics in response to the classic question ‘how much money do you have? ?’.
“I’m not 100% clear, I have my four companies, real estate. I like business,” said Peleteiro. “I’m a business muller,” he boasted at the presenter’s insistence, and advised surrounding himself with the right people to seek good advice. The 28-year-old Galician athlete finally estimated his assets between more than one and a half million euros and less than two million.
