Samuel Bode Miller was born on the 12th October 1977, in Easton, New Hampshire USA, and is probably best recognized for being a professional alpine skier, who competes in five disciplines, and in particular as the winner of six medals at the Olympic Games, a gold medal at the World Championships, and twice the men’s World Cup champion. His professional career has been active since 1998.
So, have you ever wondered how rich Bode Miller is? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the total size of Bode’s net worth is over $8 million as of mid-2016, which has been accumulated through his successful involvement in the sports industry as a professional alpine skier racer. Another source is coming from his autobiographical book “Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun” (2005).
Bode Miller Net Worth $8 Million
Bode Miller was raised with three siblings by parents Jo Kenney and Woody Miller. He spent his childhood in Franconia, a ski region in the heart of New Hampshire. He was educated at home until third grade, when his parents divorced, and he started attending a public school. Upon matriculation, he received a scholarship from the Carrabassett Valley Academy, a prestigious ski racing academy in Maine.
In 1998, Bode’s professional career began, competing not only in the World Cup, but also in the Nagano Winter Olympics representing the US, where he participated in both the giant slalom and slalom. The following year he represented the US in the World Ski Championships at Beaver Creek, finishing in 8th place in the slalom. In 2000 he participated in a giant slalom at Val d’Isère, and finished third, and was injured in the process. Anyway, his net worth, with all of these competitions, was established.
After recovering, Bode returned skiing, and his biggest success to date came with a pair of silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics Games, increasing further his net worth, and making a name for himself, distinguishing himself as the top racer on the US team. The following year was one of his best, as he won three medals at the 2003 World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland – gold in the giant slalom, gold in the combined, and silver in the super-G.
His first big victory came in 2005 when he won World Cup title, defeating Hermann Maier and Benjamin Raich, winning in all four disciplines – super-G, slalom, giant slalom and downhill. The same year brought him two gold medals at the 2005 World Championships in Bormio, Italy. His net worth was certainly rising.
The 2006 year was not good for him, as he suffered from knee injury, so he could not achieve good results. Although during the 2007 World Cup he had four first-place finishes, Bode decided to leave the US Ski Team, but then returned in 2010, winning a gold medal in Vancouver, adding to the overall size of his net worth. Furthermore, four years later he had last participation at the Winter Olympics, winning a bronze medal in the super-G race. With this, he became the oldest Olympic medalist in alpine ski racing history.
Speaking overall about his professional skiing career, Bode Miller is not only a ski racer who has the most World Cup victories ever – 32, but also is the only who has won five World Cup races in five different disciplines.
If to talk about his personal life, Bode Miller has been married to fashion model and volleyball player Morgan Beck since 2012; the couple has a child together. Miller also has a daughter with Chanel Johnson, and two sons with Sara McKenna.
