His father Scott however, has 15 thousand followers and he sometimes posts updates about Maverick using the platform.
Net Worth
Having being born into a wealthy family, Maverick McNealy was not a privileged child. His father was a strict man who told McNealy to find a job as soon as he finishes college or starts paying rent if he wants to stay in the house. Maverick excelled at golf, and despite having a fortune on his platter, chose to pursue his passion. He has already earned over $1.7 million in his short professional career, but he has stated that he is not in the game for the money.
Maverick is an heir to an $800m fortune which he will inherit from his father Scott, who sold his company Sun Microsystems to Oracle in 2009, for almost $5.6 billion. This makes Maverick McNealy the richest golfer there is, way above Tiger Woods who is valued at around $700 million.
