Bruce Jenner was born on 28 October 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York State USA, to Esther and Hugh Jenner, and is now best known as Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender worldwide recognized television personality, and formerly as a gold medal winning Olympic athlete in the decathlon. She is best known for appearing in the reality TV series ‘’Keeping Up With The Kardashians’’, and having competed in the 1976 Summer Olympics.
So just how rich is Caitlyn Jenner, as of late 2017? According to authoritative sources, this American athlete and reality television star has net worth of over $100 million, accumulated from her career in the previously mentioned fields. In addition, Jenner is a businesswoman and motivational speaker, who owns a luxurious house located in Malibu, California.
Caitlyn Jenner Net Worth $100 million
When it comes to her education, she attended Sleepy Hollow High School and matriculated from Newtown High School. Having matriculated, Caitlyn subsequently enrolled into Graceland College, where she had successful career on the football field until suffering an injury. However, she didn’t give up on her athletic career, as she switched to decathlon and went on to participate in the Drake Relays in Des Moines, finishing the competition in fifth position. Graduating from college in 1973, with a degree in physical education, and one year after that, Jenner went on to achieve notable success in winning the American men’s decathlon championship. In 1975, she won the gold medal at the Pan American Games, finishing the competition with 8,045 points, but the highlight of Caitlyn’s career in sports was winning the 1976 Olympics decathlon event.
Speaking about Caitlyn’s acting career, she made her debut in the movie entitled ‘’ Can’t Stop the Music’’ in 1980, credited as Bruce Jenner, which however received a generally negative response from the audience. In the following period, she landed the role of Officer Steve McLeish in ‘’ CHiPs’’, appearing in the six episodes of the series, and subsequently had minor roles or was a guest star in series such as ‘’The Fall Guy’’ and ‘’Murder, She Wrote’’ in 1984 and 1985 respectively. She continued with such roles in the same manner, and most importantly in 2016, was cast in ‘’Transparent’’, a Golden Globe-winning comedy drama series, adding steadily to her net worth.
However, Caitlyn is now best known for her appearance in “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, the worldwide-famous reality series focused on lives of the Kardashian clan, most importantly on Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall alongside with Kris, Caitlyn’s ex-wife. The series made its debut in October 2007 and as of 2017 the cast celebrated its 10th anniversary. Generally speaking, despite being harshly spoken about, the series is watched by a large audience worldwide, which exposed Caitlyn to the media and helped her gain even more fame.
However, we should mention that Caitlyn was still a man when she appeared in most of the previously mentioned projects. Following her gender transition – actually only finalized in 2017 – she started her own reality show entitled ‘’I Am Cait’’, which premiered in July 2015 and had its last episode in April 2016. She also created a line of her makeup for MAC, one of the most prominent makeup companies in the world.
When it comes to Jenner’s private life, she married three times when still identified as a male, firstly to Chrystie Crownover (1972-81), then to Linda Thompson (1981-86), and in 1991 to Kris Kardashian, and remained with her until 2015. Jenner has two children from each of her marriages.

1
[observation, 2015] For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman.
2
The ability to grow is directly related to the amount of insecurity you can take in your life.
3
[appearing in a glamorous photo on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2015] I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.
4
We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.
5
I always thought everybody else was better than me.
6
When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards.
7
It's about working when nobody's watching.
8
Our mission for younger people is to do our best to make exercise cool, hip - the thing to do.
9
It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.
10
Nobody has milked one performance better than me - and I'm damned proud of it.
11
I spent twelve years training for a career that was over in a week. Joe Namath spent one week training for a career that lasted twelve years.
12
If you're going to dedicate every second to winning the decathlon, what are you doing wasting your time in bed?
13
I thought everybody else was doing much better than I was.
14
The truth is everybody does it from time to time. People dial telephone numbers and they get a wrong number only to find that they've read the last two digits backwards. Everybody does it, but dyslexics have this tendency to a higher degree.
15
Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.
16
I still have nightmares about taking tests.
17
I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.
18
First of all, I try to be a positive role model.
19
The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.
20
If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
21
If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.
22
That's the most important thing you do in your life - raise children and try to do the best job as a parent and give your kids the best shot in life to go out there into the big, bad world.
23
Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.
24
If I had not been dyslexic, I wouldn't have needed sports. I would have been like every other kid. Instead, I found my one thing, and I was never going to let go of it. That little dyslexic kid is always in the back of your head.
25
If you are dyslexic, your eyes work fine, your brain works fine, but there is a little short circuit in the wire that goes between the eye and the brain. Reading is not a fluid process.
26
I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.
27
If you are a kid, reading is really important stuff.
28
I am from the Kardashian group. We can take anything.
29
I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.
30
I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.
31
I was a dyslexic kid.
32
I'm the type of guy who fails and fails and fails, and then, as if failure has become sick of him, succeeds.
