With the development of competitive sports in China, many excellent athletes have emerged. They won glory for their country in their respective fields and showed the strength of China athletes on the white stage of the world. While winning honors, they also gained a lot of economic benefits. Many athletes are worth tens of millions. Take stock of the four richest athletes in China sports: Yao Ming ranks second only and ranks first in the world.

Fourth: Liu Xiang.

The fourth place is Liu Xiang, a famous hurdler. Liu Xiang's name was once famous in the world, breaking the world record of men's 1 100 meter hurdles. Liu Xiang is a once-in-a-century talented athlete. Many sports experts say that it is difficult to produce such excellent athletes as Liu Xiang. After the Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became a well-known star in China, and various advertising endorsements emerged one after another. After retiring, he was even sent to East China Normal University for postgraduate study, under the guidance of Professor Liu Ji, a famous sports leader. Today, Liu Xiang is worth over 100 million yuan and has become a rich man in sports.

Third: Li Na

Third place, Li Na. Li Na is a female tennis player in China. As a professional player, Li Na's achievements in tennis have created domestic history. Before Li Na, tennis has always been China's weakness. Tennis is considered as a sport for the rich, and its popularity in China is relatively low. Li Na showed the charm of this sport to the people of China and won benefits for herself. According to news reports, Li Na once earned more than 654.38 billion yuan a year, which can be described as expensive.

Second: Yao Ming.

At present, Yao Ming, as Chairman of chinese basketball association, enjoys both fame and fortune. As the most successful Asian player in NBA, Yao Ming also has a high position in the world.

First: Li Ning

There is no doubt that the first place is Prince of gymnastics Li Ning. As the world champion of gymnastics, Li Ning, although the income of athletes can't be compared with that of current athletes, went into business and founded Li Ning sports brand after retirement. After years of persistence, today's Li Ning has gone international. In addition to sports brands, it has also become a national fashion brand, which is highly sought after by young people. The price of Li Ning sports shoes is also soaring year by year, from the initial 200-300 yuan to the current 1000 yuan, which is behind the potential growth of the market value of Li Ning brand. Li Ning's worth has reached 6 billion, and he is definitely the richest man in sports.
