Ashley Thompson Net Worth $20 million
Ashley was the second of four children of Marsha, a home maker, and Bill Thompson, a real estate business investment banker. She enrolled at the University of Virginia from which she graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in finance and marketing. During her studies Ashley was actively involved in several charity organizations such as Service Over Self and Youth for Christ, for which she was rewarded with an induction into the honorable Acensus Society. Upon graduation, she decided to follow her father’s footsteps and dived into the real estate business, launching her own real estate development firm. This venture provided the basis for Ashley Thompson’s present day net worth.
In the late 1990s, Thompson’s next-door neighbor introduced her to Payton Manning, a rising star in the world of American Football, who was visiting the University of Virginia. The romance quickly developed into something much deeper, and after a few years of dating, the couple married on St. Patrick’s Day in 2001. Their relationship and marriage has apparently been going strong ever since. Doubtlessly, this marriage has made a positive impact on the total of Ashley Thompson’s net worth.
Being the professional athlete has its own toll – in his career, Ashley’s husband Payton Manning has suffered several serious injuries including a rather severe neck injury. However, with the selfless help and support of his wife Ashley, he has managed to overcome all these troubles. In 2011, Payton and Ashley welcomed twins, a girl and a boy.
Besides business and her family, Ashley Thompson is heavily involved in several charitable organizations including her and her husband’s The Peyback Foundation focused on helping disadvantaged youth. She is also regularly active in The Child Advocates as well as in fundraising for breast cancer research. Apart from all those already mentioned above, Ashley is also a minority co-owner of National Basketball Association’s team, the Memphis Grizzlies
Although she is a wife of a celebrity and regularly appears in the media, Ashley Thompson has managed to keep her and her family’s private life far from the spotlight. With her husband and their two children, Ashley dwells between their $5 million-worth 3.4 acres Georgian-style property in Denver, and a $7.5 million-worth villa located in the Meridian Hills, Indiana.
