About Laurie Hernandez
Laurie was born June 9, 2000 in Old Bridge, New Jersey. She has Puerto Rican ancestry. She didn’t pursue a college degree instead investing in her Olympic efforts. She has had a brilliant career so far in gymnastics and that is where her passions and talents lay.
As of 2023, Laurie Hernandez’s total net worth is estimated to be about $2 million.
America is one of the few countries that pays their Olympic medalists with cash prizes upon their returning home victorious. The United States pays their athletes $37,500 for each gold medal they win so that has been one source of income for Hernandez.
Young professional gymnast Laurie Hernandez won a gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics. She also recently joined the reality show competition Dancing with the Stars. Although only a teenager, Hernandez has already amassed a small fortune.
Her biggest achievements so far are two gold medals from the 2015 National Championships, three from the 2015 U.S. Classic in Chicago, and medal she won as a part of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
On September 12, 2016, Hernandez will start competing on Dancing with the Stars, trying to defeat twelve other couples. Her professional dancing partner will be experienced dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy. We wish them the same luck Laurie had at the Olympics!
