He led the China men's basketball team to the Olympic World Championship and was the leader of the absolute core field of the China team. After retiring, Yao Ming didn't leave basketball. He became chairman of chinese basketball association and continued to make his own contribution to basketball in China.
Off-court Yao Ming is humble and humorous, and doesn't look like a star. In 2002, Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No.1 pick and quickly became the first center in the league. He also got a good contract.
After the rookie contract ended, Yao Ming signed a five-year contract worth 76 million yuan with the Rockets. Some people say that Yao Ming's contract is not too big. Yao Ming played for the Rockets for eight years. Including the income from playing and some business endorsements, Yao Ming's total income is about 90 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 600 million RMB.
However, Yao Ming is a man with a good business sense. Relying on the operation of Yao's team, he opened Yao's restaurants in the United States and China, and he also invested in many companies, which made Yao Ming earn a lot of money. The value of Yao Ming is very high. If he can cooperate with Yao Ming, it will undoubtedly increase his brand exposure. Indeed, many bosses are willing to cooperate with Yao Ming. How low-key is Yao Ming as the first brother of the men's basketball team? After seeing his luxury cars and mansions at home and abroad, you will understand how rich Yao Ming is. There are several luxury houses abroad alone.
Yao Ming's mansion in Shanghai was also exposed. As a public figure, Yao Ming's mansion is located in Shanghai North Bund, where the house price is very expensive, worth over 100 million yuan. It is understood that Yao Ming has four luxury houses in China. At the beginning, Yao Ming bought these luxury houses mainly because he wanted to give his daughter a good environment and intended to give his children a good educational environment, so most of these properties were school districts.
It is estimated that each of these four luxury houses is worth more than 654.38 billion yuan, which is a prime location in China, so it is called expensive. In addition, Yao Ming has a manor-style villa in Houston, USA, which is also valuable, and he bought it after he came to Houston.
In addition to real estate, Yao Ming also owns many luxury cars. Because Yao Ming's height is different from ordinary people, his luxury car is basically unique in the world in terms of private customization. I still remember when Yao Ming tried his best to squeeze into a sports car, which was unbearable. Yes, Yao Ming is not tall enough to drive Porsche, Ferrari and other sports cars like Kobe and James.
Let's take a look at the cars that Yao Ming once chose, such as Toyota Sequoia in the rocket stage, customized BMW 7 Series, Land Rover Range Rover in the transition period, and Mercedes-Benz Sprint RV in Yao Ming. They are all customized cars with a large space, otherwise it is really impossible to hold the giant Buddha of Yao Ming.
It is estimated that Yao Ming is now worth 3 billion yuan, making him the richest man in China. There are countless luxury cars and mansions under his name, but Yao Ming's style of doing things is very low-key, which is worth learning from the descendants of every China men's basketball team.
