Hope Solo Net Worth 2024


Hope Solo is considered to be one of the best soccer players and goalkeepers in the world. However, she didn’t get the same treatment as her famous teammates like Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan. In a new installment of Netflix’s Untold, Hope Solo tells her side of the story of her turbulent career.

Hope Solo played on the U.S. National Soccer Team from 2000 to 2016. With the team, she won World Cup champion and is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She helped the U.S. win the national team’s third World Cup championship in one of the most watched soccer games in U.S. history. However, she left the team due to some controversies and still continues to fight for equal pay today.

What is Hope Solo’s net worth?

Hope Solo’s net worth is estimated to be $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The award-winning goal-keeper had endorsement deals with companies such as Nike, Gatorade, Simple Skincare, and Bank of America.

In 2016, Hope Solo was terminated from U.S. Soccer after she called the Swedish team “cowards” in the Rio de Jainero Summer Olympics. She didn’t get a farewell soccer game that’s traditional to every US Soccer player.

The same year, Solo along with Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for wage discrimination. The top players accused U.S. Soccer of wage discrimination because they earned as little as 40 percent of what players on the United States men’s national team.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” Solo said at the time. “We are the best in the world, have three World Cup championships, four Olympic championships.” Solo said the men’s players “get paid more to just show up than we get paid to win major championships.”

In 2022, the players and the U.S. Soccer Federation settled the lawsuit where players would receive a lump sum payment of $22 million. The amount was distributed in a manner proposed by the USWNT players and approved by the District Court. U.S. Soccer will also pay an additional $2 million into an account to benefit the USWNT players in their post-career goals and charitable efforts related to women’s and girls’ soccer.

Solo later objected to the US Soccer Federation’s settlement with her former teammates. “It’s unfair to ask players to accept as ‘fair, adequate and reasonable’ a settlement in which the only thing that is described and explained with certainty is how much the lawyers will be paid,” Solo said in a statement issued by her lawyer, A.J. de Bartolomeo. She cited $7.9 million of the $22 million settlement fund as going to lawyers.

“Without knowing how much each player – including me for our Title VII claims – will be paid, or when we will get paid, it’s impossible for players to determine whether or not the proposed settlement and whatever payment we each receive is fair, adequate or reasonable,” she said.

In a separate statement on her Instagram, she said, “backpay for a select group of players isn’t equal pay and it’s not what this fight was about.” She noted that her past teammates Morgan and Rapinoe took “an easy out of a fight they were never really in.” Solo ended her post by stressing, “the equal pay case against US Soccer I filed on behalf of the Team long before the Team sued, still stands and I remain committed to fighting for all players—past, present and future.”
