Sports News] As 2023 has passed, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) has
released the overall player income for the year. Viktor Axelsen, the Danish
badminton star who held the top world ranking, received significant attention
and was expected to excel in the rankings. With his triumph in six events of
the 2023 BWF World Tour, including the season finals, Axelsen amassed a total
bonus of US$645,095. However, it is worth noting that Axelsen is the only male
player in the top 10 list, with the remaining nine spots occupied by female
players. The top 10 players on the money list represent all five individual
events. Although Axelsen’s badminton income is substantial, his net worth
extends beyond that due to multiple endorsement contracts. In fact, his
earnings from endorsements and advertising fees likely exceed his total
badminton bonuses for 2023. The competition in men’s badminton at the global
level is fierce, making Axelsen’s achievements even more remarkable. The editor
believes that he will continue to perform exceptionally well and possibly set
new records in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
