Asian Female Athletes Got RICH

most of the highest paid female athletes of the past year were actually at least half if not full Asian let's talk about if there's a particular reason for this yeah we got to talk about this article that just came out saying Naomi Osaka emuk kanu and eing gu are amongst the five highest paid female athletes of 2022 listen guys we let uh make sure you like subscribe and turn on your notifications but you know what else is doing good numbers in 2023 smas saau could be the highest paid uh chili oil out of a squeeze bottle ever hopefully but uh anyways check it out Smalls sauce.com um yeah Andrew Naomi Osaka her father is Haitian her mother's Japanese she was born and raised in Japan until two then I believe Florida made $51 million in 2022 now do we know if that's mostly from sponsorship deals or prize money because tennis players can make a lot of money but I want to say it's mostly sponsorship deals primarily but yes she is also a top ranked tennis player even though she's taking some time off I believe she had a kid number three coming in andreww was ien goo at $20.1 million a freestyle skier a lot of people are like there's no way a freestyle skier makes that much money however Andrew her mother is from China her dad is white American I believe and most of the money comes from modeling in China yeah no I mean she uh she decided to uh win gold medals for China she's also very good-looking can speak Mandarin so her sponsorship money and her modeling gigs is added control number four Andrew Emma raducanu and her mother is Chinese D is Romanian raised in London $18.7 million also can speak Mandarin right so not not as good as Eileen goo though Eileen goo's Mandarin not sponsorship levels but still a very good tennis player still very highly ranked and then the next Asian we have does it go to number nine Jessica Pulu who's actually half Korean yeah but the mom is an adopted Korean but actually interestingly enough Andrew her parents own the Buffalo Bills they're billionaires they're billionaires I mean I mean still though she she's she's good at tennis and then number 10 Andrew we've got mini Lee the Korean golfer right 7.3 million so I guess David the big question here is is them being half asian mile Le's full Asian by the way but is them everyone else being half asian is that somehow an advantage in making money nowadays when most people generally believed for a long time that being Asian in sports was only a disadvantage is it now an advantage at least for making money that's the question we're going to answer okay I will say this I think that these are first of all we got to be clear here and I I it doesn't it's not to take away from anything a lot of Asians right now are getting a lot of money in small Ball Sports we're talking about golf tennis and baseball specifically baseball the dudes are getting money no no we're talking about female athletes though because there are Korean guys in soccer that are doing well there's Japanese guys in baseball that are doing well right right right right but we're talking about female athletes right the female athletes are getting money in tennis and golf right now no and and those are rich people Sports generally but they do have a lot of money you can make a lot of money being good at those Sports without sponsorships and here's the truth everybody uh Ruku uh Eileen guo Naomi Osaka they can play to a gigantic economy back in the East obviously Naomi Osaka is going to tap into the Japanese Market she can speak Japanese eing gu Ruku they can speak Mandarin that's going to bolster their endorsement money heavily in Chinese speaking countries we're not even talking about just mainland China we're talking about Taiwan Hong Kong Singapore Malaysia have gigantic Mandarin speaking you're saying if you're a HOA athlete right now you better learn your mother tongue yes learn your mother tongue because that's going to be a lot of money on the table it has to do with like how popular that sport is in the corresponding country that you can appeal to for example Andrew Kazumi I believe yamazaki she was a famous uh pingpong player from Japan she learned to speak Mandarin because pingpong is the biggest in China bigger than in Japan right there's a lot of great Chinese uh table tennis athletes whether they represent China or not yeah I mean I guess it means that these athletes they do have I guess like multiple cross-cultural appeal right and and it always helps when athlet even for like uek who's polish Andrew it opens up her marketability if she can speak English as well as her mother language right and also I mean who knows if she learned some Mandarin that would still actually get her some sponsorship money oddly enough probably you're saying if igia suitech learn Mandarin to a fluent level it would boost her uh endorsement money like a couple million years yeah what's crazy is that if any of these athletes learn Mandarin it would still help I don't know if it'd be worth it for them to take the time to learn Mandarin for the extra maybe million dollars but it'd be maybe an extra million dollars all right so let's talk about some of the discussions on the internet Andrew a lot of people were talking about do you think that these Asian female athletes do they care about their Asian side or do they use it for money reasons uh this is the harshest way to pose the question that I found on the internet yeah I mean I think a lot of in a mean way some people are going to suspect that they don't care but I guess do they care any more or less than your average HOA about there you know I'm mean these are people who maybe in their deepest heart of part they don't like let's say these HOA women they don't like they don't need to date an Asian guy or they're not particularly attracted to Asian guys how much do I care about that as an Asian guy well to me I don't fully care as long as they support being Asian and this is just something as an Asian guy you have to accept for anybody in media is that they may or may not love Asian men but they support being Asian and they do support being Asian cuz they speak their Asian language and all of them have spoken up about at Le at least Naomi Osaka and Eileen guo have at least in their celebrity way spoken up against anti-asian stuff you know what I mean and they support BLM and everything like that so I guess like to me I don't have high expectations but I'm glad that they're at least doing the minimum and what they're supposed to do yeah no I think kudos to them I don't actually ask anything of them I also don't want to give them that you are the most crazy Pro Asian person in history Oscar I I'm also not giving them the greatest Asian award either yeah right but but some probably like maybe Boba Liberals are ready to to be honest you made me guess yeah depending on you know if you want to give Naomi Osaka the greatest Asian-American athlete award that is fine her last name is Osaka she speaks Japanese I think often times here's the truth a lot of Asian like tribes or whatever like Asian uh I'm an Asian-American that cares about acting I care about singing you're like going to give it to the person who just acknowledges their Asian side like the Asian I believe like uh entertainment Association gave Jana Aiko The Lifetime Achievement Award for like Asian-American of the Year award but Jana Aiko I remember when she got it she was like I don't even know if I deserve this I appreciate it I do care about my Asian side but like y' I don't even know if y'all needed to give this to me you what I mean no they probably they probably didn't need to no but I'm saying this because like the full Asians they haven't gotten to that level of relevancy in the western world yet that it's always going to be the Hoppus and of course it is going to be the Hoppers with the Asian mom and the non-asian father whereas like for example like a lot of black athletes that are mixed it's almost like 95% of the time their dad is black and their mom is the non-asian side nonblack side I'm sorry I mean I would say it's a little bit like giving like someone like Jan Aiko award or let's say putting Eileen goo and naom socka on these pedestals and being like Oh my gosh you guys are such great Asian-American representation it's not wrong but it's also kind of like a racial draft where you're like trying to get them on your team and be like hey we all love you we appreciate you you might not be full Asian but we appreciate you so remember the Asians like oh you're part of us you are on our Squad it is a little bit like the Nobel Peace Prize that they tried to give to Obama to try to tell Obama to not fight any more Wars right oh like you're trying to encourage Behavior by giving a preemptive Award right you don't give the award for necessarily what they done or who they are but you give it for what they might do right right um I guess how come the top girls aren't white Americans anymore or there was like very few I guess white European girls in the top 10 if if any there's certainly some girls that were part white but there was no more regular full white girls in the top 10 anymore I don't know man I I think this is a whole different video David but do you have a short answer for this I think my short answer is that I feel like white people they've they've moved on to like easier ways of making money because if you really look at the life of these top tier athletes they had to train every single day of their life on every single you don't get to that level even by you don't just show up for practice you're locked in at every single rep in practice yeah no no it's not I don't care what sport it is you have to train every day and I think that in a way full white people have gotten to a point where they' like I'd rather make 10 20 $30 million a year being a Logan Paul or being a call me daddy podcast or etc etc these more I guess fun things where you don't got to wake up at 6:00 a.m. train four times a day watch your Macros every single meal also there's a lot of BS that comes with being an athlete there's a lot of people who are going to talk about you know especially when you're a young athlete so there's anything can go wrong you have a career ending injury or at least career stunting injury right like right before the your first match right at at a pro level you tear your Achilles it's happened to many many people no I do think that having an immigrant Asian mother or having an Asian parent uh for some of these athletes it does like make them think a little bit more like a notch more like an immigrant so they work that hard I think there's some like correlation uh but anyways you guys you let us know in the comments down below what you think my overall wrap up is this I think it's really interesting now that the highest paid baseball players are Japanese yoshinobu and shotani huge contracts bro well top top five contracts both of them and has not even thrown a pinch a pitch in the MLB yet right he's getting signed straight out of Japan and some people are mad at it right because they're saying that their contracts especially yoshinobu was partially affected by marketing influence right yes because yeah marketing influence and also like I don't know him teaming up with SH uh uh sh is going to be crazy right basically the entire country of Japan is going to be following the Dodgers for the next 10 years right right right obviously he's still very good too but you know he hasn't proven it in the MLB um also like you know being Asian in sports especially for guys it just is a negative until it's a benefit and just like it was a negative it was a disadvantage for Jeremy Lynn his entire career over schar getting doubted no great D1 scholarships coming out of high school it was it was a lot because he was Asian and then when he blows up when he breaks through that and becomes Lin sanity then you can say okay well you got a little bit larger contract for marketing so now he's now benefiting from being Asian right you're saying it's like this Dam that's holding the water back but once the Dam breaks it's this huge delusion yeah you almost have to break through and so the key is for Asian athletes in the future whether you're half asian part Asian whatever you identify as Asian you can speak Asian language whatever you're not Asian but you can speak Asian language you just have to be good you just have to be good and then all of your cultural things that make you up are going to start to benefit you now obviously if you're one from from one of large Asian groups China Japan Korea maybe Philippines or maybe Indonesia and you're a great athlete coming with Heritage from those countries that can really benefit you more than like to be honest if you're like I guess a burmes athlete like your marketing dollars overseas are not going to be as great but do you need to be bilingual you need to have some level of biling to fully benefit from your asianist you do need to be lot bilingual you need to be at least Prof ient in your mother tongue right at least I would say a four out of 10 at least a conversational level at least so you could do a a quick interview and a commercial in it yes it's all about I mean Jeremy is playing in Taiwan right now and he's probably the biggest uh at least for sure basketball athlete in Taiwan right um I would say kudos to everybody kudos to all the young ladies on this list whether they were Asian or not you know but I will say this I do follow the careers of the half asian girls closer because I feel like there's some additional relatability I like them all I don't discriminate on what um Asian country of origin even though I'm Chinese yeah um but yeah it's dope it's cool to see I think that it's very interesting to see there's a lot of trends like you said uh maybe it's just random who knows maybe in five years the list looks completely different but I think for at least baseball I me I'm sorry uh for tennis and for golf for women's there's going to be a lot of Asian faces moving forward all right everybody let us know in the comments down below who are some of your favorite part Asian or full Asian athletes let us know and uh yeah let us know which one uh which sport you think more Asian should play growing up uh hit that like button until next time we out peace
