How old is Usain Bolt, what’s his net worth and where will he play at Soccer Aid 2024?

USAIN Bolt is the fastest man on record, having won everything there is to win as an Olympic sprinter.

He is taking part in Soccer Aid 2024 — here's everything you need to know.

Who is Usain Bolt and what is his net worth?

Usain Bolt was born on August 21 1986 in Sherwood Content, Jamaica — making him 37 years old.

Before retiring from competition, he was a 100m and 200m sprinter, who also ran the relay for Jamaica.

He holds the world record for both the 100m, at 9.58 seconds, and 200m — 19.19 seconds.

Throughout his career he has amassed a substantial fortune, with numerous outlets estimating his net worth at around £70.4million in 2024.

Bolt retired after the 2017 World Championships, but many of his sponsorship deals have continued into his retirement — and he has even secured some new ones.

How many gold medals has Usain Bolt won in his career?

In 2016, Bolt believed he had become the first man ever to win the triple-triple, after victories in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016.

But in 2017 he was stripped of his 4 x 100m relay medal from Beijing after team-mate Nesta Carter was found guilty of doping.

That means Bolt now has eight Olympic gold medals to his name.

He also has 11 World Championship golds.

Bolt was a triple gold medallist in the 100m after being disqualified in 2011 for false starting, and a quadruple 200m champ — winning in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015.

He also has four 4x100m relay golds.

Bolt failed to win any golds as he hung up his spikes at the London 2017 World Champs.

He finished third in the 100 metres behind Justin Gatlin and Christian Coleman.

Bolt also won gold in the relay for Jamaica at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

So that brings his total of gold medals to 20.

What has Usain Bolt done since retiring from sprinting?

Bolt has always had a passion for football, previously wanting to play for Manchester United.

In 2018, he started training with Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset — later going on trial at Central Coast Mariners in Australia.

He netted twice in a friendly, leading Maltese side Valletta to offer him a two-year contract.

Bolt turned them down, signing a deal with the Mariners — but only lasted eight weeks.

In 2023, he expressed his wish revitalise the running world, saying: “After me, it kind of went down because of who I was as a person and how big my personality was. But I think over time it will be better.

“I think young athletes are coming up and I see a few personalities that are needed in sport, hopefully in the upcoming years it will change.

“Hopefully I can play a part and help the sport to grow.”

How many times has Usain Bolt participated at Soccer Aid?

In 2023, Bolt captained the World XI and scored the opening goal.

It was a special moment for the fastest man of all time, who was competing in his fifth Soccer Aid.

The 2024 edition of the event will be his sixth appearance — he will captain the side and play as an attacking winger.

Soccer Aid takes place on Sunday, June 9, 2024.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7.30pm.

The match, which was held at Old Trafford in 2023, has moved to Chelsea's home, Stamford Bridge — the first time it has been held in SW6 since 2019, when the World XI won 3-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw, sparking a five-game winning run for the visiting stars.

Soccer Aid will once again be shown for FREE live on ITV1 (England and Wales) and STV (Scotland).

It can also be streamed for FREE online with ITVX.

Unicef ambassador Dermot O'Leary and England and Arsenal legend Alex Scott will present the programme, with Sam Matterface on lead commentary and comedian Iain Sterling on co-comms.
