She further added, “They’re all authentic partners. They’re brands that I’ve used through the years. For example, I had an American Girl doll growing up—I had Molly. So it was really exciting when I got to see the Team USA swimsuit set they made for American Girl dolls.”

Katie has been sponsored by top global brands like TYR, Panasonic, Adidas, and Visa.

Katie had to change her approach during the pandemic

Ledecky clinched four Olympic medals in her third innings, at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Before the Tokyo Olympics, a lot of brands had a vision for the 2020 mega-events; however, the games were postponed because of the pandemic.

Katie then had to change her approach as the world went into quarantine. Katie said, ”We had to be ready to adapt, and I was able to do that by working through some virtual events … which was actually a really interesting and fun process to get to know the brands better.”

In 2021, Katie has a net worth of $4 million, and as she goes forward on her journey, her net worth is going to rise tremendously.
