Worlds Strongest Man Tom Stoltmans net worth as he clinches successive titles

World's Strongest Man Tom Stoltman has become the joint most decorated British athlete in the competition's history after successfully defending his title.

Stoltman won his second consecutive title on Sunday as he ended the six-day event top of the leaderboard after a strong challenge from Ukraine's Oleksii Novikov. The Scottish strongman is also understood to have built a small fortune for himself through his exploits in such events.

According to The Scotsman, Stoltman, whose older brother Luke came seventh at this year's World's Strongest Man, has a net worth of £1.9million after winning his second title in a row in Sacramento.

In winning another title, Stoltman pulled level with Geoff Capes as the most successful British athlete in the competition's history. He also became the first athlete to retain his title since American Brian Shaw won back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2016.

Stoltman, who turned 28 on Monday, was able to overcome Novikov's lead on the final event of the contest, the Atlas Stones. The Scot outscored Novikov on what is his signature event to leapfrog him into the lead.

Is Tom Stoltman the best British strongman of all-time? Let us know in the comments section below.

Novikov ultimately ended the day in third place, after losing a tiebreaker against Martins Licis of the USA, whilst Luke Stoltman finished in seventh place overall.

Stoltman's comeback to beat Novikov allowed him to get revenge on the Ukrainian for the 2020 World's Strongest Man, when it was Novikov who pipped Stoltman to the title in Bradenton, Florida.

In addition to having won the competition more than any other British athlete, Stoltman is also now only behind Capes for most top three finishes after bagging his third in a row. Capes finished in the top three six times during his career.

Speaking to USA Today after his win, Stoltman admitted: "To do it once is unbelievable. Back to back? Almost unheard of." He then went on to add: "It was kind of an easy ride to the end for me. You still have to keep your head in it. You can't overthink these things."

Stoltman will now turn his attentions to football as he prepares to play for the World XI against England in Soccer Aid at the London Stadium on June 12.
