Another reported big money move for the world's fastest woman Sha'Carri Richardson.
Sha'Carri Richardson's price has gone up. The world's fastest woman is reportedly said to be earning six figures as her appearance fee at any meet she attends.
Richardson, who became the 100m champion at the World Championships in Budapest last year to earn the bragging rights of the fastest woman in the world, is the most famous and influential athletics star, having several endorsements in her name.
The American speedster was scheduled to kick off her 2024 season at the Miramar Invitational on April 6th in the 100m and 200m, but withdrew citing it's a new year, new approach.

'Different year, Different approach' - Sha'Carri Richardson postpones season's debut at Miramar Invitational
World's fastest woman Sha'Carri Richardson revealed she will no longer make her season's debut at the Miramar Invitational and has given her reasons for the development.
Now multiple reports are suggesting that her fee has gone up, so may not be able to attend most meets like she previously did last season. If the reports are true, she will be the highest-paid athlete in track and field in appearance fees.
Richardson's alleged $20,000,000 renewal contract with Nike is also one of if not the biggest in athletics history behind the legendary Jamaican Usain Bolt.
The 24-year-old has recently done ads for Google and Andriod, while also being the leading model as Nike and Jacquemus collaborated to release a swoosh fashion collection.
