Its a pity there isn't too much proper high earner leagues.
playing club TT is slightly better (for most players) compared to world tours.
There is only a handful of table tennis players that can get ultra rich.
The rest can just get by "pretty well"

If we look at TT only income, there isn't much money tbh
Smaller sports like Cricket, Rugby provided higher income per tournament/season/league than the likes of TT.
Whereby TT is the biggest sport in the world, and the only sporting code to have membership in ALL countries on this planet

ZJK made 60 million in 2016? Have I read that right?

 

[drunix80]

ZJK made 60 million in 2016? Have I read that right?

As per ITTF " The Grand Slam winner earned 60 million RMB or about US$8.7 million"

Of which maybe 80% is not from table tennis? lol

 

[drunix80]

It is the same everywhere - endorsement/sponsorship earnings to money directly from sports ratio. In tennis (2016) ,
Federer pulled in $60 million from sponsors and endorsement fees by Forbes’ count, along with $7.8 million in prize money. You can do the math !!

 

[Bollforte94]

ZJK made 60 million in 2016? Have I read that right?

No I think that are their assets; not the annual salary. But I am not sure.

I would say yes, he made 60mm in 2016. But how much he truly got after the tax and sharing with China National Administration team, we would not know.

What math I see is:
Tennis player earns $7.8m from the sport
TT player earns $1.?m from the sport

So we talk TT
Could your national champion get lots of endorsement/sponsorship earnings? Because they can't really get a good salary from playing...

So lets look at country (audience) and brands that would support the "stars"
Asian: Your top Korean, top Japanese, Top Taiwanese, Top Singaporean
European: UK, Spain, France, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Denmark etc

Now tell me, which countries can really allow players to make money from sponsorships? and which can only rely on salary and tournament earnings....

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

No I think that are their assets; not the annual salary. But I am not sure.

Its says "personal wealth" on there.
not 2016 salary.
I see it as they total wealth

it won't surprise me that Wade got it wrong in his ITTF article

 

[Ruoh Leong]

If it's not mistaken, the China wealth list is reported yearly and it's the only list to calculate the wealth for all the sportsman in China who earns for the year and they only show the top ten.

The 2016 China wealth list is excluded football players...

 

[rainneverever]

That article is about annual income of Chinese sportspeople in 2016, not assets. There are question marks about this article because most income is not itemized like Forbes lists do.

If interested, you can check the analyses in this article. Sun Yang earned 10 million CNY for incentives (from central, provincial and local governments) and 6 million CNY from sponsors (an auto brand, a sportswear brand and a mobile phone brand for only a short period of time). If the rest of 53 million CNY all come from the 9 variety show he attended, he earns much more and much easily than top Chinese movie stars who work in entertainment industry full-time.
http://sports.163.com/17/0523/11/CL492Q9L00058782.html

Jun Mizutani said after Rio Olympic Games that his annual income is close to 100 million JPY and he estimated top CNT player like Ma Long to earn 300-400 million JPY annually in a Japanese variety show early this month.

For conversion, 1 USD = 6.9 CNY = 112 JPY

Its says "personal wealth" on there.
not 2016 salary.

it won't surprise me that Wade got it wrong in his ITTF article

 

[Matt Hetherington]

I'm surprised that Ma Long doesn't make the cut, having the profile that he has. Maybe he should work on his public presence a bit
