Gary Player is that high because he owns Black Knight Enterprises, which, among other things does golf course design around the world, markets clothing with the Black Knight design and one of the foremost speakers in the world. His son runs the company, and Gary has three major sponsors that provide much of his income.

Gary Player was an amazing golfer.

But he is an even better businessman.
