Arshad Nadeem, a javelin thrower from Pakistan, recently won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. This big win has brought him lots of praise and financial rewards. Just hours after his victory, he received a huge cash prize of PKR 10 crore from Maryam Nawaz, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan. In addition, Karachi's mayor, Murtaza Wahab, gave him PKR 50 million and announced plans to open a sports academy in Karachi named after him.
Arshad’s recent success could significantly increase his wealth. Right now, his net worth is estimated to be less than Rs 1 crore, but his achievements are likely to raise this amount.
On the other hand, Neeraj Chopra from India also did well at the Paris Olympics 2024. He won a silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters. Neeraj's estimated net worth is about Rs 37 crore (around $4.5 million). He earns money from international sports events, endorsements, and his job as a Junior Commissioned Officer in the Indian Army. Neeraj also owns a three-storey bungalow in Khandra, Haryana.
Both Arshad and Neeraj have become heroes in their countries, inspiring many people with their impressive performances on the world stage.
