Young equestrian has managed to grab an elite spot ahead of legendary basketball player turned business wizard. Magic Johnson lags behind Anna Kasprzak on the prestigious 2024 Richest Athletes List. This achievement throws some light on the world of professional equestrianism. This is where the potential for wealth generation can produce profits.
Kasprzak is a native of Denmark and is known for being a renowned dressage rider. Dressage is highly disciplined sport and is considered a form of equestrian competition that emphasizes harmony with precision, and elegance between horse and rider. Kasprzak’s exceptional talent on the sport and her dedication has established her numerous records throughout her career. These include multiple national and international championship titles.
Beyond her riding capabilities, Kasprzak’s financial health is likely from numerous of factors. Equestrian competitions often come with rich prize money. For instance, the FEI Dressage World Cup boasts a total prize purse exceeding €1 million. Additionally, sponsorships from luxury brands, endorsements, and breeding rights for top horses can contribute significantly to a rider’s income.

Kasprzak’s background also likely played a role in her financial success. Dressage has traditionally been associated with wealth and aristocracy. Riders often come from families with the means to acquire and train expensive horses. Kasprzak’s family reportedly owns Blue Hors, a renowned Danish stud farm that breeds and trains dressage horses. This access to high-quality horses from a young age undoubtedly provided Kasprzak with a significant advantage.
Magic Johnson’s Businesses
MJE’s core mission goes beyond profit. Johnson is keenly aware of the economic differences in many urban communities. He focuses on bringing high-quality businesses to low-income neighbourhoods. This is shown in his ownership of Starbucks franchises that are strategically located to low economic areas and provide good services. He’s employed this approach with other ventures as well. These include owning movie theatres (previously) and Burger King locations.

Johnson’s passion for sports extends beyond basketball. He’s a co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers which is the reigning champions of Major League Baseball. He also holds ownership stakes in the Los Angeles Football Club (MLS) and an ownership stake (previously) in the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. This diversified sports portfolio allows Johnson to stay connected to the athletic world.
Magic Johnson’s inclusion on the list is unsurprising. The legendary point guard’s NBA career with his shrewd business ventures has long established his status as a sporting icon and financial powerhouse. However, the fact that Kasprzak has surpassed him on this particular list underscores the often-underrated potential for wealth generation within the equestrian world.
