Recently, the official platform of the BWF officially announced the 2022 Tour prize money ranking. China has six players in the top 10, namely Huang Yaqiong, Zheng Siwei, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Chen Chenchen and Jia Yifan. At the top of the list is Olympic champion Anselon, the Danish winner with $404,125.
According to the above tour bonus table, the bonus table of An Sielong is close to 3 million yuan, while the tour bonus of Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei is more than 1.7 million yuan, which is only the bonus income of the competition. According to the composition of athletes' income, in fact, the biggest part is commercial returns.
Therefore, we can roughly predict that the annual income of the world's top athletes should exceed 5 million. That's more than the vast majority of the world's population, not a problem.
The world number one in men's singles was the tour's top performer in 2022 with $404,125. The Danish famous star is at the peak of his career, whether it is Shi Yuqi, Zhou Tiancheng, Jin Ting, or Li Zijia, Jonatan, Momota Kendou, can not climb the mountain of Ansilong.
In the upcoming 2023 season, Ancelon is still the biggest favorite to win the championship in various competitions. Some netizens believe that the dominance of An Sailong in the world badminton men's single arena today is even stronger than that of Lin Dan.
Akane Yamaguchi of Japan was second on the money list, and Dai Ziying of Taipei, China, was third. The two are the old opponents of Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao of the National Feather women's singles, but from the 2022 season record, Yamaguchi is No. 1 in the women's singles world.
Chen Yufei's bonus is about 1.317 million yuan, and He Bingjiao's is about 1.315 million yuan, both of which are in the top 10 of the year. Mixed doubles Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei ranked fourth and fifth respectively, and the two are also the world's first mixed doubles combination that can "scoop gold" most in the tour. In the 2022 season, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong successively won the Asian Championship, Indonesia Championship, Thailand Championship, World Championship and the year-end finals, and won the best combination of the year award without any doubt.
National feather men's doubles duo Ou Xuan Yi and Liu Yuchen's prize money number for men's doubles first, two people ranked eleventh, twelfth.
National men's singles is more embarrassing, the highest number of prize money is Shi Yuqi, who has returned from injury, ranked 33rd among all players.
In the women's doubles prize list, China's Chen Chenchen and Jia Yifan ranked first in the world, far ahead of South Korea, Japan and other women's doubles pairs. China's Ou Xuan Yi and Liu Yuchen won about 900,000 yuan in prize money during the tour, ranking first in men's doubles.
Although the men's singles in the tour sent many people to fight, but in the prize list, the highest ranking Shi Yuqi is only 33rd. Many netizens joked, "Originally in the national feather team, the poorest is the men's single group!"
Of course, to be able to go to the top of an industry, this income is not strange. This is also closely related to the athletes' usual hard work.
Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong this season, won the championship of 10 races, is already the world's best doubles combination, in history is also ranked on the number, therefore, if such excellent results can not be millions of years, it is not past. Because, now the domestic workers are also some of the millions of talents, so Huang Yaqiong's income is actually not high, can only be the entry brick into the rich class.
Looking at the world, the highest income this year is not an Cylon, but the "rich woman" said Sindu, her annual income reached 50 million, which is the goal everyone looks up to. With an annual income of 50 million yuan in 2022, Indian star Sindhu has become the most profitable player in badminton.
Indian badminton player Sindhu has become the highest-paid badminton player this year with an annual income of $7.1 million, foreign media reported. As soon as the news came out, it caused a lot of attention from fans.
It is understood that about $100,000 of Sindhu's income this year comes from the prize money of the competition, and the remaining $7 million is the income of various commercial activities on the sidelines. It can be seen from here that the majority of the income of badminton players is actually commercial activities, and the competition prize money is only a small part of it.Since the beginning of this year, Sindhu participated in fewer competitions, the most prominent performance is in the Commonwealth Games in the first half of this year, she led the team to win the team event and women's singles championship, which is also the most important competition for Indians. Sindhu won the final victory, and her attention continued to rise.
In addition, she defeated China's Wang Zhiyi at this year's Singapore Open and finally won the women's singles championship. However, Sindu's performance on the World Tour this year is not very good, many races out too early, the state has slipped a lot from the peak.
In this year's world Championships, she also withdrew from the competition and failed to compete for the championship. Sindhu's peak was in 2018 and 2019 after the Rio Olympics, when she won the 2019 World Championships, but since then, her form has declined.
Sindhu is the first badminton World Championship champion in the history of India, and this honor has made her a few years ago to become a business industry full of money, known as the "rich woman" of badminton. Although this year's performance is not satisfactory, thanks to the popularity accumulated in previous years, it still maintains a high income this year.
From Sindu's annual entry of 50 million, it can be seen that badminton players as long as you play to the top of the pyramid, even if it is a minority sport, it can still become a winner in life.
