Hope Solo has found herself at the centre of attention from the media and public once again after being arrested on charges of drink driving this week.
The Washington-born goalkeeper spent most of her career as the United States’ go-to option between the posts, and represented her country between 2000 and 2016.
Hope Solo honours
Hope Solo was part of the USWNT that won the Women’s World Cup in 2011, while she also won two Olympic Gold Medals. She picked up those gold medals with the US team at the 2008 Games in Beijing, and at the 2012 London Games.
Solo was WPS Goalkeeper of the year in 2009, and US Soccer Female Athlete of the Year. She won the FIFA Women’s World Cup Golden Glove in 2011 and 2015, the Bronze Ball in 2011, and the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup Golden Glove in 2014.
She was the CONCACAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year in 2015, and the IFFHS World’s Best Woman Goalkeeper in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Hope Solo net worth
Hope Solo’s net worth is around three million dollars. Unlike in men’s football, female footballers don’t earn a lot of money from their club contracts, and they earned even less at the beginning of the centry, so the majority of Solo’s income has come from endorsement deals.
Solo has had deals with companies like Nike, Gatorade, Simple Skincae, and Bank of America.
Hope Solo real estate
Solo paid 1.2 million dollars for a home in Kirkland, Washington in 2012, then selling it for 1.75 million dollars in 2016. The home included a swimming pool, a sports court, and mountain views.
