Trivia-Who is richest ex-world class T&F athlete?

First I do not consider Phil Knight a world class athlete. This is for you old guys as his best marks were in the very early 50's. No he is not in Forbes Richest 400 but close.

No longer alive, but an Indiana icon, is Tony Hulman, owner of the Indianapolis 500 for many years and a VERY wealthy man.... reputed to have been a star hurdler at Yale back in the 30's.
