The Olympic Games is the pinnacle of many athletes' careers, with thousands of competitors from hundreds of countries battling for a coveted gold medal. However, a smaller crop of athletes have already had glittering careers in domestic leagues and competitions across the world. Kevin Durant, for example, already has two Olympic gold medals to his name and has forged a long career in the National Basketball Association (NBA), which puts his current earnings at 75 million U.S. dollars.
