Lee Chong Wei has an estimated net worth of $ 16 million which has mostly been generated from his professional badminton career and endorsements.
Football will always be incomplete without the mention of some important players like Pele, Maradona, Messi or Ronaldo. Likewise, badminton will be incomplete without the mention of the names of players like Morten Frost, Lin Dan, Peter Gade or Lee Chong Wei. Amongst them, the most impactful player ever in modern times who has graced the game is Lee Chong Wei. Lee is a former world no. 1 and has carved out a name for himself in the international arena. He has catapulted the entire nation and has put the name Malaysia on the international map as a top-tier badminton powerhouse. Lee is the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympic medal and a triple Olympic silver medalist. As a result of his on-field achievements, he was conferred the title of Datuk. Lee’s extraordinary performances for 19 years on the court made him a national hero in his country.
Lee Chong Wei is a former badminton player from Malaysia. Lee has been the World No. 1 for a record 349 weeks. This also included a 199-week run from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012. He is the only Malaysian shuttler to have held the top spot for more than a year, joining an elite league of Malaysians- Foo Kok Keong, Rashid Sidek, Roslin Hashim, and Wong Choong Hann since official rankings began to be kept in the 1980s. Lee holds the record for most titles won with 46. Apart from a successful Olympic campaign, he has won nearly four Super Series championships each year and hung up his racquet with 69 BWF titles. Lee has recently been inducted into the BWF Hall of Fame along with his arch-rival Lin Dan.
The rivalry between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan has been always a treat for audiences. These on-field exploits of Chong Wei are out there in the common domain. However, a common dilemma which cannot be ascertained from the internet is the capital earnings of the former Malaysian badminton star. Some websites have been rumoured to have put various figures like $ 35 million, $ 30 million, or $ 75 million as his accrued capital. However, to clear the cloud, Lee remarked “I don’t think a Malaysian sportsman can make RM 300 million given the fact that badminton is not as popular as football or golf.” Despite this, Lee has been touted as one of the richest badminton players in history.
