Dennis Conner from Netflix's UNTOLD: Race of the Century has an estimated net worth of $5 million in 2022. Also known as Mr. America's Cup, Dennis is a former member of the New York Yacht Club and the Yacht Club of Monaco and has won The America's Cup four times. As of now, Dennis Conner lives in San Diego, California, with his wife Louise Daintry Bell.
There have been competitions for America's Cup since before the Civil War, making it one of the oldest sports events still going. No one was able to match the United States's domination in the competition for more than a century. All of that changed in 1983. The most recent installment of Netflix's UNTOLD series, Race of the Century, tells the story of the Australian team that ultimately defeated the Americans.
It tells the story of the Australian yachting team, who overcame the New York Yacht Club after 132 years of dominance. The odds were stacked against the Australians, and Dennis Conner, the American team's captain, was one of the largest obstacles in their way.
Being one of the most successful captains in America's Cup, the 83' loss has been a major part of his life. As viewers have a glimpse at his success and his life, many of them are curious to know Dennis Conner's net worth in 2022. Well, we've got you covered.

With a net worth of $5 million, Dennis Conner, the world's most successful America's Cup skipper and also known as Mr. America's Cup, lives in San Diego, California, with his wife Louise Daintry Bell in 2022; the two got married in 1994. Conner founded Dennis Conner Sports Incorporation in 1987, and he is also a public speaker.
He has joined together with The Pirates Lair, Inc. to present a fresh selection of Stars & Stripes sailing equipment. Conner also works as a self-employed Doctor of Humane Psychology in the San Diego area. He also hosts a self-titled podcast in which he discusses sailing, his America's Cup experience, and other fan inquiries, among other topics.
Dennis Conner, who was born and raised in San Diego, began sailing at the age of 11 and has subsequently spent nine years on the board of the San Diego Yacht Club. He received an honorary doctorate from Green Mountain College, a bronze medal from the 1976 Olympics, and covers for Time and Sports Illustrated, the latter of which he shared with President Ronald Reagan.
Conner also has been a member of the New York Yacht Club and the Yacht Club of Monaco, and he has won two Star World Championships. He competed in The America's Cup for the last time in 2003 after winning it four times (as a tactician in 1974 and as skipper in 1980, 1987, and 1988) and losing it twice (in 1983 and 1995). Conner established the Stars and Stripes syndicate in 1984 to compete in The America's Cup.
Conner's life story has been partially documented in a number of books, including No Excuse to Lose: Winning Yacht Races with Dennis Conner, Comeback: My Race for America’s Cup, and The America’s Cup: The History of Sailing’s Greatest Competition in the Twentieth Century, some of which he co-wrote with others.
Conner has enjoyed success for the majority of his career, but the devastating defeat in 1983 will always be a part of him. He believes that losing after 132 years was the best thing that had happened to him, along with winning The America's Cup, even if others might regard it as a flaw in his otherwise brilliant record. Talking about it, Conner explained,
Before the win by the Australians, America’s Cup was only big in the minds of the yachties, but the rest of the world didn’t know or care about it at all. But when we lost it… it was a little bit like losing the Panama Canal – suddenly everyone appreciated it.
He believes that winning it would not have changed anything and got them to where they are now, even though it was so terrible to lose that he didn't feel like getting out of bed in the mornings around that time.
Dennis Conner, who is still actively involved in the sport, is aware of how crucial it is to overcome setbacks and use them as motivation for future success. He is still moving forward and looking for new opportunities.
Additionally, UNTOLD: Race of the Century is currently streaming on Netflix.
