How did Laurie Hernandez Make Her Money & Wealth?

Born on June 9, 2000, in Old Bridge Township, New Jersey, Laurie Hernandez is the youngest child of Anthony and Wanda Hernandez. Athletic from a young age, her parents enrolled her in gymnastics classes when she was six years old. Coached by Maggie Haney, her talents eventually led her to be invited to the U.S. Gymnastics development camps at age nine.

Within three years, she had launched her elite career. In 2012, she competed in the U.S. Classic, where she finished in 11th place. With that, she qualified for and participated in the National Championships. The following year, she was invited to the U.S. Junior National Team. With the group, she traveled to Chicago, where she took part in the U.S. Classic once again, where she won the gold medal in the floor exercise. Subsequently, she also won a silver medal at the 2013 National Championships.

In 2015, the gymnast was named to represent the U.S. at the City of Jesolo Trophy.

That same year, she also competed in the U.S. Classic, National Championships, and International Junior Japan Meet.

Fast forward to 2016, the same year as her senior debut, and she had had the chance to represent the country at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. At the event, she successfully won two medals, a gold in the team event, and a silver on the balance beam. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the teen had also won two golds at the City of Jesolo Trophy, and a gold at the Pacific Rim Championships that year.
