Chong Wei is badminton top earner for 2013


KUALA LUMPUR: It’s a Happy New Year indeed for world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei.

The Malaysian men’s singles shuttler finished 2013 as the top moneymaker in world badminton. The 31-year-old, a winner of seven Super Series titles, hit close to RM1mil in prize money. And that’s not counting his appearance fees and money won at several professional leagues, his allowance from the Badminton Association of Malaysia as well as the endorsements as brand ambassadors.
