This is the top 10 list about the richest badminton players in 2020.

If you are like me, you’d probably wondering: Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan has retired in 2019 and 2020 respectively, would this trigger a big shift in the ranking position?

Let’s find out below.

10. Viktor Axelsen

Viktor Axelsen is currently number 4 in the world. The Danish star and one of the rare European players to give the greatest Asian players a hard time. His skills rock, and it’s so hard to defeat this fabulous all-around player.

You can call Viktor a prospect (born in 1994). His score is 360 wins and 132 losses.

He is the former champion of the world and the 2-time European champ.

Axelsen had an estimated net worth of around 1-5 million dollars. Some believe that one of the richest badminton players, a Danish superstar, has “eyes on his back”.

Look at the video and see why.

9. Tai Tzu-Ying

Tai Tzu-Ying is the most successful Taiwanese female badminton player. She is the winner of 1st place in the Asian Games (2018) and Asian Championships (2017, 2018).

Tzu-Ying is a small player, even for a woman (only 5ft 4 inches), but she smashes better than some of her tallest competitors. Her timing is out of this world, alongside returns and movements. She always fights until the last dying breath.

Some fans call her “Queen of Deceptions” due to her tricky shots. The video below elaborates why.

Her net worth is around 1-5 million dollars. Tai is the current leader of the BWF’s list of women singles’ rankings.

8. Chou Tien Chen

Chou Tien Chen is the best male Taiwanese badminton player at the moment. He sits comfortably at spot 2 of BWF rankings, riding on a score of 370-198, at the time of writing this article.

Tien Chen won Indonesia Open in 2019. He is also the winner of 2 minor tournaments – Thailand Open and Chinese Taipei Open.

The BWF Men’s Singles leader Kento Momota knocked Chou Tien Chen out of the competition on two occasions – at Korea Open and Fuzhou China Open.

His first BWF Super Series tournament victory happened in the 2014 French Yonex Open. In 2018, Chen was the 2nd at Asian Games in Jakarta. Smashes are his trademark, and you’ll see why when you watch the video below.

Chou had an estimated net worth of 1,000,000 – 5,000,000 dollars.

7. Chen Long

There is not much difference between Lin Dan’s and Chen Long’s playing style, as Chen Long is always ready for long rallies and tactical points. Chen had an estimated net worth of 1-5 million dollars.

Long won the Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro and an ex-champion of the world. His current score is 441-114. Many call Chen Long the master of tricky shots, here’s why!

Chen Long is in his prime, he’s 31 years old at the moment. One of the richest badminton players would probably advance on our list in the years to come.

6. Saina Nehwal

Saina Nehwal is the most successful Indian female badminton player. She’s the Olympic bronze medalist from London 2012, the former Commonwealth champion, and a silver medalist from the World Championships in Jakarta 2015.

Saina is number 20 in the world at the moment, with a score of 433 wins and 196 losses.

Saina is famous for her tricky surprising shots. She mixes drop shots and strong strikes well. It is impossible to predict her next move.

Her had an estimated net worth of around 3 million dollars. But she is first-placed too (if we discuss the richest badminton players from India).

5. Kento Momota

Kento Momota is a Japanese badminton player, the current Men’s Singles leader. Momota is known for tremendous agility and movement, then the ability to return impossible shots. He is agile as a cat, but his anticipation skills rock too.

Momota hasn’t reached his prime yet (born in 1994), so he’ll probably get better and better as time goes by. Kento won the World Championship and many other tournaments too (for example, Yonex All-England Open).

Kento’s riding on an impressive score of 335 wins and 78 losses. Momota’s had an estimated net worth of around 3 million dollars.

If he continues his winning streak, he’ll advance on our list of the richest badminton players for sure.

4. Taufik Hidayat

Despite Taufik Hidayat is retired, he had an estimated net worth of 7.5 million dollars, and his career score is an impressive 413-138.

This outstanding player put Indonesia on the map of elite badminton states. Hidayat is the former champion of the world, gold medalist in the Olympic Games (Athens, 2004), the ex-Asian champion on many occasions, and also the winner of the Southeast Asian Games and Thomas Cup.

Taufik is the only Indonesian name on the list of the richest badminton players. The 6-time Indonesian Open winner retired a while ago. But his name is still everywhere. He is one of the most precise players in the history of this sport, don’t you think so?

3. Lee Chong Wei

Lee Chong Wei is the all-time greatest Malaysian badminton player. He is the owner of medals (silver and bronze) in the Badminton World Championships. It is never easy to earn a medal in such a competition, isn’t it?

Wei is the former Commonwealth champion, Olympic Games silver medalist, and Southeast Asia trophy holder.

The most eye-catching details when watching Lee Chong Wei is his superb sacrificing shots.

Wei, one of the richest badminton players in the world, is a very good person. He donated so much money to charity on many occasions.

Oh, but listen to this!

Lee Chong Wei earned the title “Datuk”. It is a superb achievement in Malaysia!

2. Jan O Jorgensen

Jan O Jorgensen is, according to many, one of the most successful Danish badminton players. His score is impressive 423 wins and 224 losses. Despite Rasmus Gemke, Viktor Axelsen, and Anders Antonsen sit above him at spot 17, Jorgensen is way wealthier than his compatriots.

Jorgensen is a very entertaining badminton player. He has a lot of titles under his belt – the European Championships winner (Kazan, 2014), the bronze medalist from the World Championships in 2015, etc.

Many call Jorgensen the master of unrealistic returns. Someone would say this guy enjoys returning impossible shots. The point is not over… yet!

Jorgensen had an estimated net worth of around 23 million dollars, which puts him on the list of the richest European badminton players.

His net worth puts him even ahead of some of the best MMA fighters in the world – BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, and Fedor Emelianenko.

1. Lin Dan

Lin Dan is one of the most successful athletes in this sport.

He is the former Olympic champions (2008, 2012) and the 5-time World Championship winner.

Before he retires, he was a nightmare for every opponent. Even when he losses, Dan’s mental strength pushes him to the next level.

He never gives up, patience is his virtue. Don’t relax even if you lead 20-10. The leader on our list of the richest badminton players rarely makes a mistake.

He is a big friend of his rival Lee Chong Wei too.

Lin Dan had an estimated net worth of 41 million dollars, making him the richest badminton name in China, with more than 60 titles. Dan’s current score is 666-132.
