Chapter 228: The football player with the highest annual income (seventh update, asking for monthly votes)

Chen Yingxiong signed many contracts like crazy this summer, which the media knew, and suddenly the media became interested in Chen Yingxiong's total income for a year.

This thing is easy to calculate, because everyone knows the specific figures, just look through past news reports.

The first is the salary offered by the club, which is the most basic income for a player.

The first contract signed by Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool was for five years, but before the contract expired, the two parties had already renewed the contract once. The contract lasted for five years and expired in 2018.

Chen Yingxiong will be thirty years old by then.

It stands to reason that the most glorious golden years of a player's career are the four years from the age of 26 to 30. After the age of thirty, players' physical fitness and competitive status begin to inevitably decline.

If Liverpool just want to use Chen Yingxiong, then when he is 30 years old, they can sell Chen Yingxiong while he is still affordable, and maybe make a lot of money.

However, given the personal relationship between Chen Yingxiong, Chen Xing and Niang, Liverpool Club may not make money by selling him.

Now Chen Yingxiong's weekly salary is the highest in the team, surpassing Gerrard, which is 150,000 pounds.

When he first signed a contract with Liverpool, his weekly salary was 130,000, second only to Gerrard's 140,000. But the past few years have passed. Gerrard is getting older, and it is impossible for the club to give a salary increase to a player whose career is coming to an end. Therefore, Gerrard's new contract weekly salary has been reduced, falling to 100,000 pounds.

Now Chen Yingxiong earns 150,000 pounds a week, which is about 190,000 euros.

Fifty-two weeks a year, his salary alone is 9.88 million euros, nearly 10 million! You must know that this is the real amount after tax.

In addition to salary, there are bonuses. When Chen Yingxiong signed his first contract with Liverpool, he did not offer as many various bonuses as when he signed with Naples, which was the simplest goal award. The reward of 20,000 pounds for scoring a goal is already considered a high amount. There are no additional bonus requirements such as hat tricks and scoring twice. At most, after winning the top scorer, there will be an additional reward of 1 million pounds. Moreover, this reward is calculated based on the season, not the event. In other words, if he wins one top scorer this season, he can get an additional bonus of one million pounds. But if he wins four top scorers, like this year, then he will still get this bonus in the end. million.

This bonus contract was not changed when the contract was renewed and has been carried forward.

Chen Yingxiong's total number of goals in all official competitions this season is 105, which is 2.1 million pounds. In addition, he also won the top scorer and received another 1 million. The bonus is 3.1 million pounds, which is approximately 3.95 million euros.

The money he could get from the club this past season was 9.88 million plus 3.95 million, which is 13.83 million.

But fixed salary plus bonuses will never be the main income of a superstar of Chen Yingxiong's level, commercial sponsorship fees are.

Let’s take a look at Chen Yingxiong’s commercial endorsement income.

Then let’s look at the new signings this year.

All the above units are in Euros.

Adding all this up, plus the money he received from the club, his income for the year was... 57.17 million... euros!

This income makes Chen Yingxiong officially the highest-paid player in world football, surpassing Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others, and he is still far ahead. It is not easy for Messi and others to catch up.

If converted into RMB, it would be an astonishing 438.77 million!

Many people can't make money in several lifetimes, but Chen Yingxiong made it in one year!

If he were in China, Chen Yingxiong would have already entered the ranks of billionaires.

But this is not the limit for Chen Yingxiong, because in the future, as his reputation becomes more and more famous and his results get better and better, he will get more contracts. In addition, when "Hero 100" starts to be released, Chen Yingxiong will start from The sales revenue of this sneaker will receive a steady stream of commissions, and perhaps the income that may eventually be reached will be an astronomical figure!

Being able to make so much money in a year should be considered a good thing for everyone.

But if you are a celebrity, a famous professional player, a professional player who is very controversial, it may not be a good thing.

Because there are many people in this world...they hate the rich.

Having money is a sin in their eyes. As for whether the money is ill-gotten wealth or earned through hard work and frugality, it has nothing to do with them. As long as they know you have a lot of money, they are guilty.

The media has always discredited professional players in this regard.

Even when the income of professional players is reported, most of them are done from a very bad angle, making it seem like professional players should not earn so much money.

For example, the media often reports that professional players spend lavishly on cars and mansions, play with women, go to nightclubs, buy all kinds of luxury goods, have crazy parties, drink and fight, race cars and speed... etc. These reports have actually deepened the awareness of ordinary people. Dissatisfaction with these upstarts.

Because the media is designing and packaging players according to the image of "upstarts".

They emphasized that the players have low academic qualifications and low quality. They emphasized that these people's past experiences were either gangsters in the slums or street gangsters. If they were not involved in football, they would definitely go to jail... They also emphasized that these players have low academic qualifications and low quality. Low-income people can easily make money that ordinary people like us can't make in a lifetime. It's simply an unforgivable crime!

Of course, it is a fact that the quality of the players is low, but the low quality has nothing to do with them making money with their sweat.

No matter how low your quality is, as long as you are not stealing, robbing or cheating, you can train on the training ground, endure training intensity that is unbearable for ordinary people, put in sweat and hard work in fierce competitions, and show what you have gained from training. , no matter how much money you make, what’s the problem?

The money people earn, whether they want to buy a car or a house, whether they want to pick up girls or drink alcohol, even if they give it away, is their freedom and no one else has the right to interfere, as long as they don't do anything illegal.

Many media blindly emphasize that these professional players make money quickly and easily, but rarely mention the price these players paid to make this money.

There are so many people who have a love for football and a longing for professional football and plan to make a living from it. How many people have finally made it to the other side? The competition in this industry is fierce and cruel. How many people understand and want to understand it?

There is a Chinese saying that goes like this: “I only see thieves eating meat, but I don’t see thieves being beaten.”

This is a common mentality among many people.

What's more, professional players themselves are young people, and the working time that can make money is very short. Since it is short, the returns will naturally be high because of scarcity.

This is the same as models. Many people only see the scenery and income of models on the catwalk, but do not see the hard work of this industry.

Having said that, any profession is hard, but the price players have to pay is different from most ordinary people.

Many players ended their careers with injuries. When they were young, their bodies might still be able to withstand them. But as they grow older, these time bombs buried in their bodies will be detonated one after another.

Is there anything wrong with earning more when you are young in order to provide for your old age in the future and prevent your life from being too miserable?

In fact, many people understand this truth, but hatred of the rich has blinded their minds, making them unwilling to look at it at all.

Therefore, there are many reports in the media from strange angles when Chen Yingxiong became the highest-paid player in world football.

They exaggerated how much money Chen Yingxiong earned, emphasizing that he was worth 50 million euros at a young age. Then they changed the topic and began to emphasize how bad his temper and character were, and how much controversy he caused on and off the court. How the outside world has mixed reviews about him...

Anyway, after "" finally finished their report, I had a feeling - it's so easy for this bad boy to make money! Must be a nouveau riche! Low education, low quality, unscrupulous talk, making enemies everywhere!

Chen Yingxiong ignored these media reports at all.

The sour grapes mentality does exist, and there is a market for it.

No matter how jealous others are of him, the money will not fly from his bank account to the pockets of those who are jealous.

He is happy that he has become the highest-paid football player in the world, because he has surpassed Messi in terms of financial income, and the next step is to pull Messi off his throne in the competitive field!
