There is still a week left before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the men's basketball team only maintains its daily training volume every day, which is enough to ensure the condition of the athletes.
During this period, the men's basketball team will inevitably have to accept interviews from major media at home and abroad, especially for a popular player like Wang Zelin, whose every move is news.
It was during this week that something unexpected happened.
Forbes' latest ranking has also come out, and the person who tops the list is none other than... Wang Zelin!
It’s really not an exaggeration, because the legendary boxer and athlete Floyd Meservy has not boxed for a long time and has now disappeared from the list.
Without his pressure, top athletes in other fields have a lot more room for improvement.
The total income of this list is divided into two parts: salary/bonuses and advertising endorsements. Generally speaking, the calculation period is from May of the previous year to May of the next year. There are a total of 100 people on the list.
Meservy and Pacquiao, who just finished the "Fight of the Century" last year, occupy the top two positions with a huge advantage. There is no way, the broadcast fees for top boxing matches are too outrageous.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi followed closely behind, and the influence of football is still far greater than that of basketball.
Ranked fifth is Wang Zelin, whose annual income exceeded the 70 million yuan mark.
This year, due to the achievement of three consecutive dynasty championships, a new sneaker contract and sneaker dividends, and the effective date of the contract extension, his income exceeded the $100 million mark in one fell swoop.
Up to now, including wages and various commercial advertising shares, the total revenue has reached 120 million US dollars.
For real top athletes, salary is always the small part, and commercial endorsements are the real big part.
Strictly speaking, this is not Wang Zelin's total income. If you add in domestic side businesses, some business investments and related deployments from prophets, his total income will increase several times.
However, as far as his main job as a basketball player is concerned, his ability to attract money is already terrifying.
Even after deducting all kinds of messy taxes, his athlete income is equivalent to RMB, and he still has four or four small goals!
Such ability to attract money is really crazy!
Forbes' goal has also been achieved. In the past, they announced it around July every year, but this year due to the Olympics, they deliberately postponed it to early August, successfully attracting a large wave of traffic.
Among the top ten athletes, except for Wang Zelin, who has an income of over 100 million, the second to tenth ones are:
Second place Ronaldo: salary 56 million yuan, endorsement fee 32 million yuan, total income 88 million yuan;
Third place Messi: salary 53.4 million yuan, endorsement fee 28 million yuan, total income 81.8 million yuan
Fourth place James: salary 23 million yuan, endorsement fee 54 million yuan, total income 77.2 million yuan;
Fifth place Roger Federer: bonus of 7.5 million yuan, endorsement fee of 60 million yuan, total income of 67.8 million yuan;
Sixth place Durant: salary 20.2 million yuan, endorsement fee 3,600 yuan, total income 56.2 million yuan;
Seventh place Djokovic: bonus of 21.8 million yuan, endorsement fee of 34 million yuan, total income of 55.8 million yuan;
Eighth place Cam Newton: salary 41.1 million yuan, endorsement fee 12 million yuan, total income 53.1 million yuan;
Ninth place Phil Michaelson: bonus of 2.9 million yuan, endorsement fee of 50 million yuan, total income of 52.9 million yuan;
No. 10 Jordan Spieth: bonus of 20.8 million yuan, endorsement fee of 32 million yuan, total income of 52.8 million yuan.
There are 16 NBA players selected in this 100-person list, and the top ten selected include Wang Zelin and James.
Then there is Kobe Bryant, who is ranked 11th, with a total income of 50 million yuan, and his legacy as a veteran superstar is still amazing!
Then there are Rose, Harden, Wade, Anthony, Paul and others, all with incomes of more than 30 million yuan.
It has to be said that the annual income of NBA athletes is indeed very impressive. Even Adridge, the lowest ranked player among the stars, ranks 94th, and his annual income exceeds 20 million yuan, which is basically more than 99% of the income in the world.
crowd.
If Wang Zelin signed his new contract too early, and if he and Lillard could wait until the end of this season before signing, the guaranteed annual income could increase by eight figures.
During the NBA salary explosion some time ago, Wang Zelin and Lillard both complained to Orsi, saying that they regretted signing the contract too early.
But everyone knows that this is just a joke.
To put it another way, signing early also has advantages. First, it stabilizes the morale of the team. Second, it gives the team management more room to maneuver this summer to defend and win the championship.
Although the other 29 teams in the league are frantically pursuing and intercepting the Trail Blazers' trade reinforcements in the trade market, in the capitalist world, money is the boss. As long as you have money, nothing is impossible.
According to Orsina, the team is actively pursuing a young guard from the Kings last season this summer. I heard that he has good three-point ability and is in line with the current offensive trend in the NBA.
Currently, the Trail Blazers are already actively matching the qualifying offer offered by the young guard, which I heard is very promising.
After the draft, there were business activities on one side and the upcoming Olympics on the other, as well as training from time to time. Wang Zelin was very busy this summer, so he did not interfere too much with the team's reinforcement plan.
On the one hand, he believes in Orsi's ability, and on the other hand, the team owner pays that damn fat guy such a huge salary every summer and has to ask him about everything, so why does he need a general manager?
The announcement of Forbes' athlete income list made Wang Zelin famous all over the Internet once again.
Unexpectedly, after the last time the men's basketball team checked into a hotel, this time it made headlines again because of its personal annual income setting a series of records.
Wang Zelin's annual income exceeded 100 million, breaking the annual income record for NBA players in one fell swoop. It triggered a new round of sensation and heated discussion not only in China but also around the world.
When did the income of NBA athletes actually reach such a high level, even surpassing the two greatest stars in football, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Unsurprisingly, heated discussions about the two major sports of football and basketball quickly arose online.
Wang Zelin has broken the record this time, so he naturally has feedback on the sport he participated in.
When people's discussion and attention on basketball becomes more intense, as the number one player in today's basketball world, he has made his own contribution.
After all, Wang Zelin's name has been deeply bound to the sport of basketball. All his fame and achievements come from this orange basketball.
If basketball can become more popular, it will be beneficial to every basketball player.
Take Jordan as an example, why is he called the God of Basketball?
In addition to Jordan's remarkable achievements as a player, it is also inseparable from the active promotion of the sport of basketball!
If Wang Zelin wants to catch up with Jordan in a real sense, he must not only catch up on the level of honor, but also must contribute to the promotion of basketball.
