As the second in the world of the International Table Tennis Federation and the national table tennis ace Sun Yingsha, who has been publicly praised by the People's Daily twice, her performance throughout 2021 is impressive. So, as the best table tennis player in the world, what is her annual income? To know that the top superstars in football C Ronaldo, Messi and others, the annual income is more than 100 million euros, equivalent to 800 million yuan, and the top basketball stars James, Durant and other people have an annual income of at least 90 million US dollars, let's take a look at the real income of Sun Yingsha.
Although the world ranking is not as good as Chen Meng, the results may be on par with Wang Manyu, but in terms of attention and traffic, Sun Yingsha, who is cute in appearance, domineering on the court, and has a high emotional intelligence, is definitely the number one person in national table tennis. First of all, look at her basic salary, according to the contract exposed by many media before, her annual salary with the club is 2 million yuan, and as a member of the national team, she can also get about 2.5 million yuan in the national table tennis salary every year, so from the basic salary alone, Sun Yingsha can get at least 4.5 million yuan per year.
In addition to salaries, prize money in various competitions is also an important income for athletes. This year, Sun Yingsha participated in many heavyweight events such as the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships, the WTT Finals, and the National Games, winning 5 championships and 3 runners-up.
According to the amount of awards announced by various competitions, Sun Yingsha can get a total income of about 800,000 yuan, so her income has reached 3.2 million. This was followed by the government's commendation for Sun Yingsha. Because of the team gold medal of the National Games, the Hebei government rewarded Sun Yingsha with a one-time award of 1 million, coupled with the outstanding performance of the Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha won the 800,000 prize money awarded by the state.
In this way, Sun Yingsha's annual income has easily exceeded 5 million. In addition to the above income, commercial endorsement is Sun Yingsha's advantage. Throughout 2021, Sun Yingsha received a total of 10 commercial endorsement contracts, including, of course, brands co-endorsed with Guo Ping-Pong. And these endorsements add up, Sun Yingsha can get about 8 million a year, so the whole year, Sun Yingsha's real total income is about 13 million yuan, which is definitely a huge amount of money for a 21-year-old girl.
I have to say that being able to easily break through tens of millions of annual salaries in the early 20s will make many peers envious. Of course, Sun Yingsha is indeed worthy of such treatment, after all, as the trump card of national table tennis, her efforts are unimaginable to ordinary people. However, it should be pointed out that compared with the income of athletes with higher popularity such as football and basketball, Sun Yingsha can earn less than a fraction of the money that C Ronaldo, Messi and others have, which is also the real result reflected in the market value of a sport.
