Rory McIlroy is well positioned to become one of the world's highest-paid athletes for a long, long time.
At age 25, he has already won three of the four major championships and has a deal with Nike rumored to be worth as much as $200 million.
He also has the makings of a pretty fantastic lifestyle off the course, with a lavish house in Florida, a $400,000 car, and much more.
He earned $23.5 million last year, making him the 35th-highest-paid athlete in the world at age 25.

Rory's other deals with Bose and Omega make him golf's 3rd-highest-paid player.
He's not afraid to spend his money. He bought a gorgeous $9.5 million house in Florida in 2012.

The house is good for his job, too. It's right next to the PGA National golf course and there's a workout room.
The tabloids in the U.K. are all over him. They once reported that he bought a $2 million Bugatti, which he called "bollocks."
