28 Yesteryear Celebrities Who are Still Alive and Kickin’
George Foreman, 71 Years Old
International Boxing Hall of Fame and World Boxing Hall of Fame inductee George Foreman had a very rough childhood growing up and eventually dropped out of high school, but thankfully, he discovered that he was excellent at boxing. Nicknamed ‘Big George’, we would go on to win the US a gold medal at the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968. Exactly 10 years later, he retired from the sport, to become an ordained minister, but was back in the ring after 10 more years, until he finally retired from boxing in 1997. He then became a boxing analyst, but that was before his biggest entrepreneurial success, the George Foreman Grill, which has sold above 100 million units globally! In 1999, he sold the naming rights of the entity and got a whopping $138 million for it.
