The Riches of Lindsey Duke

How rich is Lindsey Duke? As of mid-2019, sources inform us of a net worth that is over $100,000, earned through success in her various endeavors. Her wealth may have been elevated thanks to the success of her ex-boyfriend, but they might have broken up early leading her wealth to be unaffected by him. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her net worth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education

There is very limited information when it comes to Lindsey’s life before her rise to fame online thanks to her ex-boyfriend. There are no details regarding her family and childhood. She attended Oviedo High School, which has a 52 acre campus operated by Seminole County Public Schools. It was established in 1932 as a K-through-12 facility, but the secondary school later separated and moved to its current site.

After matriculating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Central Florida (UCF) which has more students enrolled on campus than any other university in the US. It started out as an engineering and technology university but later expanded beyond that scope. The enrollment of the school now exceeds 66,000, and it has students from 157 countries. Its main campus has most of the student population – the university offers over 200 degrees through its campuses, and has awarded almost 300,000 degrees to over 260,000 alumni worldwide.

At the NFL Combine

Duke’s popularity increased significantly when she was spotted supporting her then-boyfriend Bortles at the NFL Scouting Combine. The event is a week-long showcase which occurs annually, normally at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. College football players perform mental and physical tests in front of coaches, scouts, and general managers of the NFL clubs. The combine has grown in scope and significance over the years, especially due to the increasing interest in the NFL Draft. Athletes can only attend the event through invitation, and their performance within the event can dictate their draft status as well as their subsequent salary.

This in turn makes the Combine a pivotal moment for the athlete’s career. The term ‘workout warrior’ was popularized in the combine, as superior performance during the event can increase an athlete’s draft stock even if he had a sub-par college career. Bortles at the time was a top prospect coming out of college, and when lindsey was spotted with him, her online popularity rose significantly – her boyfriend was looked up on Google 225,000 times but she was ‘Googled‘ more than six million times during the Combine, almost 30 times more than her partner.

Ex-Boyfriend – Blake Bortles

Blake Bortles was drafted as the third overall pick during the 2014 NFL Draft, and his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars featured a lot of downs. In 2015, he set team records for touchdowns in a single season and passing yards. He also helped the team to their first AFC Conference Championship game since 1999, but they lost against the New England Patriots. Despite all of his great performances, he was proven to be prone to turnovers and led the league in interceptions thrown in 2015. He also threw a league high 75 from 2014 to 2018.

He had managed to gain a $54 million contract extension which increased his wealth significantly but just a year into the extension, he was released by the team. In 2019, he signed a one year contract with the Los Angeles Rams, playing as the backup to Jared Goff. Some of his achievements include the most pass attempts in a season in 2016, and most pass completions in a season during the same year. He also holds the record for most passing touchdowns in a game, but also most consecutive games without a passing touchdown.

Personal Life and Social Media

For her personal life, it is known that Duke was in a relationship with Bortles from high school up to his first year in the NFL. According to several sources, he broke up with her midway through his first year in the league, to the disapproval or disappointment of many. Since then, she has not been reported to be romantically attached to anyone, and several sources believe that she is single. Some have linked her to Ben Higgins from “The Bachelor”, but this has never been confirmed.
