Is Eileen Gu the highest paid Olympian of all time?

Seems like she made a lot more money as an Olympic athlete and fashion model after she switched from Team USA to Team China. In 2022 alone, she made at least $30 million after tax. Does this make her the highest paid Olympic athlete of all time?

He’s a diversity hire so we can’t acknowledge his achievements lol /s

 

Lionel Messi was part of the 2008 Olympics team. Neymar (most expensive transfer of all time) participated in the 2016 Olympics

 

She's a traitor. Competes in a niche stupid sport.

Decides to be a slooty prop for a hellhole ccp dictatorship and c ucked populace too afraid to push back on anything.  Imagine being American and choosing to compete for china....

I bet she doesn't even live or train in China.  

And she's like a 7 at best.  A Chinese 10 but an American 7.  

 

Firstly, the US is a global embarrassment on so many different levels. Your “traitor” comment reflects the general lack of education of the American population. 
 

Secondly, those late-nighters must be piling onto your brain. An American 7 is more like a Chinese 3….. “If you know, you know.” ….. And you are clearly clueless. 

 

Sure agree on the first part depending on your politics.

but American 7 equals a Chinese 3? Found the Chinese guy. No other world nation is agreeing w your cope bud

 

Her background is quite interesting. Her grandparents were both senior CCP cadres and her mom came to the US and became an 'investor' in the 90s before she was born. Nobody knows publicly who her dad is & she grew up in the nicest part of SF. Even more interesting, she apparently met XJP before switching to rep China due to 'family connections'. 

So I have to think their family is absurdly rich, but totally off the radar long before she became such a star. Very interesting digging to be done if you're bored and curious. 

 

I seem to get a disproportionality high number of Asian girls liking me on Hinge/Bumble. Starting to think the stereotype of Asian girls being easy if white is true
