In 1961, Nicklaus turned professional and quickly became a dominant force in golf. Over the course of his career, he won 18 major championships, including a record six Masters titles, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, and three British Opens.

American professional golfer Jack Nicklaus is retired and has a $400 million fortune.
The fourth-highest-paid athlete of all time is Jack Nicklaus. His total career earnings as of this writing are $1.15 billion. Just three athletes have earned more money over their individual careers: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and his former adversary Arnold Palmer.
It goes without saying that prize money has not made up the great bulk of Jack’s $1.15 billion in earnings. More than 380 golf courses in 36 countries have been created by him since he established Nicklaus Design 50 years ago. Yet Nicklaus’ empire encompasses far more than simply course design.
Like his former competitor Arnold Palmer, he owns a line of golf balls and has given his name on a branded lemonade to Arizona Beverage.
Moreover, he has marketing and endorsement agreements with a number of businesses, including Perry Ellis and Rolex.
