The Paris Olympics 2024 is in its final round, and the performance from the Indian contingent has been somewhat disappointing, with just three bronze in the kitty. All eyes will be on Neeraj Chopra and the Indian hockey team now to bolster the medal tally. The Indian hockey team suffered an agonising defeat to Germany in the semi-final, and will now play Spain for the bronze. Neeraj, meanwhile, will be in action tonight in the final. We look at some of the richest Indian athletes from the Paris Olympics.
PV Sindhu
PV Sindhu, the two-time Olympics medallist, failed to put up a show, as her campaign got worse with an early exit from Paris. But she still remains the most successful Indian shuttler, and her career earnings is among the highest in the world. She is only Indian in Forbes' list of highest-paid female athletes in 2023.
Neeraj Chopra
Neeraj Chopra's fortune saw a massive upturn after he became the first Indian athlete to bag gold in track and field, three years ago in Tokyo. Chopra has a net worth of Rs 50 crore, and a triumph in Paris will cement his status as the most accomplished athlete in India.
Lovlina Borgohain
Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, has amassed a net worth of approximately $1 million (INR 8.31 crore). The majority of her income comes from lucrative endorsements and rewards bestowed upon her by various state governments. Lovlina's impressive achievements in the world of boxing have not only brought her fame and glory but also significant financial success. Her net worth continues to grow as she solidifies her status as a top athlete in India.
Harmanpreet Singh
Indian field hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh has amassed a significant fortune through his successful career in the sport. With lucrative sponsorship deals and endorsement contracts, Singh's estimated net worth stands at an impressive $5.1 million. The 25-year-old drag flicker has solidified his position as one of the world's premier players, leading India to multiple podium finishes at prestigious international tournaments. Singh's leadership on the field and his exceptional skills have not only earned him accolades but also substantial financial rewards, making him a prominent figure in the world of field hockey.
