On Sunday, the internet went into a frenzy when ace Javelin thrower and double Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra announced that he has married Himani Mor, a tennis player currently studying in America. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Himachal Pradesh. "Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together. Bound by love, happily ever after," India’s Golden boy captioned the pictures.
Although he is always making headlines, Neeraj managed to keep his love life under wraps. In fact, just days before he got married, the athlete was asked about his wedding plans during an interview and ironically, he said he doesn’t believe in making public declarations. The 27-year-old currently lives in his ancestral village in Haryana but has to travel all over the world for training and tournaments.
He first shot to stardom after delivering a terrific performance at the Tokyo Olympics, where he became the first Indian to win gold in an athletics event. Three years later, he clinched silver in Paris. Because of his tremendous success on the world's biggest stages, Neeraj has gained massive fame, and his net worth has also shot up significantly.

Although the International Olympic Committee steers clear of awarding cash prizes to medalists, Chopra still could have grabbed $50,000 had he won a gold medal in Paris since the World Athletics Federation announced the prize money for gold medalists last year. However, winning silver is not bad either, as multiple states and corporations recognised his efforts.
Soon after his silver was confirmed in Paris, the Haryana government awarded him a sum of ₹6 crore and a plot of land at a concessional rate. Anand Mahindra, the Indian industrialist, honoured him with a personalised XUV 700. Indigo, meanwhile, announced free travel for Neeraj for the next five years. In 2021, he also received the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, along with a cheque of ₹25 lakh.
Although the Olympics is a quadrennial event, Neeraj is pretty active in the Diamond League circuit, athletics meet for elites, that goes on for a major part of the annual calendar. In 2022, Neeraj created history by winning the Diamond League final, for which he received ₹25 lakh. This year he took home ₹10 lakh for finishing second league.
