Amazing Race Questions
BritishTARFan:
This has probably been answered.
So I was rewatching S18, So I remembered Kent & Vixen missed their flight because they went the wrong way. The flight took off at 9:50am, what I never realised was that K & V departed at 11:33pm!
Does anyone know how far away they drove from the airport in order for it to take them over 10 hours to drive instead of 1h45mins.

For the past few months, I have been watching celebrities race on The Amazing Race China, and the thought on my mind was which racers were the richest before the race even started.
Now, I am watching TAR China 3, and I think the richest are Kenneth Fok and Guo Jingjing. His family's net worth are in the eleven digits (>$20B), and for the couple, it would be in the few billions.

Keep in mind that Guo Jingjing is the 3rd highest paid athlete from China ever, just behind fellow TAR China 3 contestant Liu Xiang.
Not sure about the US version and the versions from other countries that cast "regular" people. It would be good to know.

I would think Bethany Hamilton would be the wealthiest in income cast for the U.S. version. She's written books with her mother about her shark attack experience and happy-go-lucky lifestyle. She has income from pro surfing from competitions and sponsorships. Soul Surfer the movie was made about her life story which she helped out with by casting her starring role, and she guest-starred in other TV shows and talk show tapings prior to the Race all throughout the 2000s.
In fact, Race should be considered a minor thing Bethany and her husband have accomplished.
Besides that, maybe Maria & Tiffany from poker tournaments.
G.B.:
Bethany and Amber are the only two people I can think of who were recognized by locals while on the Race. (on the American version)
