Pakistan’s javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem recently garnered global attention by winning the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
This achievement has earned him widespread recognition and significant financial rewards.
Within hours of his victory, Arshad received numerous prizes and awards, including a cash prize of PKR 10 crore from Maryam Nawaz, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan, and an additional PKR 50 million from Karachi’s mayor, Murtaza Wahab. Mayor Wahab also announced plans to establish a sports academy in Karachi named in honor of Arshad Nadeem.
These accolades are expected to increase Arshad Nadeem’s net worth, which is currently estimated to be less than Rs 1 crore. However, his recent accomplishments are likely to boost this figure considerably.
On the other hand, Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra also delivered an outstanding performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, securing a silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters. Neeraj Chopra’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 37 crore (approximately $4.5 million), according to various reports. His income is derived from international competitions, endorsements, and his position as a Junior Commissioned Officer in the Indian Army.
In addition to his financial success, Neeraj Chopra owns a three-story bungalow in Khandra, Haryana, near Panipat.
Both athletes have emerged as national icons, inspiring many with their remarkable achievements on the global stage.
