Kento Momota, the Japanese badminton player, has been making waves in the badminton world, both on and off the court. In the first quarter of this year, Momota’s earnings skyrocketed to nearly US$100,000! His exceptional performance at the German Open, All England, and Indonesia Masters contributed to this impressive feat. Winning the All England alone earned him a whopping US$70,000.
Chen Yufei, the women’s singles champion at the All England, also had a remarkable season. Following her victory in Birmingham, she clinched another title at the Swiss Open. As a result, Chen’s earnings soared to US$86,325. These two players stand out from the competition, with Viktor Axelsen being the next highest earner in singles with US$44,150.
