According to China Business Daily, Chen Meng is expected to receive a bonus of 525,000 USD, after winning two gold medals in women's singles and women's team table tennis.
Women's singles table tennis champion Chen Meng is leading the prize money statistics among Chinese athletes who have just returned from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Much of the money came from a bonus promise from real estate tycoon Guo Bin, husband of former Athens 2004 women's doubles gold medalist table tennis player Wang Nan.
After China won its first gold medal in the mixed doubles, Guo Bin posted on social media promising 3 kg of gold, equivalent to $237,000, to Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. Ahead of the women's singles final, Guo Bin posted on social media promising double the reward, 6 kg of gold, to the champion - the glory went to Chen Meng after she defeated Sun Yingsha.
Chen Meng, born in 1994, won the women's singles and women's team gold medals at the last two Olympics. She was the second seed at Paris 2024, but played brilliantly to beat top seed Sun Yingsha. Chen also won the 2020 World Cup and finished runner-up twice at the 2019 and 2023 World Championships.
Guo Bin and Wang Nan are well-known in the Chinese table tennis world for their continuous investment in the sport. They built a training center in Weihai City, Shandong Province, which is now a regular gathering place for the national table tennis team. Chinese players say they feel at home thanks to the care and attention from senior Wang Nan.
China is the first team to win all five Olympic table tennis gold medals, including women's singles, men's singles, mixed doubles, men's team and women's team, at Paris 2024. The mixed doubles event was only introduced in Tokyo 2020, but at that time, China lost shockingly to Japan in the final.
In addition to Chen Meng, the top 10 Chinese athletes with the most post-Olympic bonuses, there are three other table tennis players. Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin are tied for second place with around $270,000, while Fan Zhendong is in 10th place with $56,000.
The positions from 4th to 9th are respectively Chang Yani (diving - 105,000 USD), Sun Jiajun (swimming - 95,000 USD), Sheng Lihao (shooting), Chen Yiwen, Quan Hongchan (diving) with the same level of 63,000 USD, and Xiao Yanning, Xiang Binxuan (artistic swimming) with the same level of 61,500 USD.
