Success after success.
Now Armand Duplanti’s agent states:
– He is the world’s highest paid athlete.
Armand Duplantis is perhaps athletics’ most superior athlete. Few have won competitions as often as Mondo did, and it is rare that the Swede even has anyone nearby when it comes to pole vault competitions.
Incredible money success
Duplantis also has several straight world records, and just a few weeks ago he broke a new outdoor record at home in Sweden, when he jumped 6.16 at Stockholm Stadium. Last year it was also Olympic gold, and he is the super favorite to win World Cup gold later this week.
Success, success, success. And it is also noticeable in the wallet. Armand Duplantis is the world’s hottest athlete, and now his agent Daniel Wessfeldt states:
– Armand Duplantis is the world’s highest paid athlete right now, I know that, he says to Expressen.
“It pays to break world records”
Armand Duplantis has several lucrative sponsorship deals, but he also gets a real jingle at the box office considering all the competition wins and world records.
– When you break such records, you get money from the organizer, then bonuses fall out of the sponsors and that then forms the basis for next year’s basic salary. It pays to break the world record, says Wessfeldt.
Should Armand Duplantis break a new world record during the World Cup, even more opportunities would open up.
– These are the contexts you want to be seen in and which the sponsors want you to be seen in. Then we will not talk about what it means for new agreements, when companies see that they maintain their position as the best in the world.
