SAINA NEHWAL
BADMINTON
NET WORTH: $24 MILLION

India’s very own Saina Nehwal has been making a name for herself in the badminton world stage. She’s the former World’s Number 1 and managed to cash in around 24 international titles, 11 of which came from the BWF Super Series. Nehwal is also the only female in India’s tennis history to reach the Number 1 slot in the world. She is India’s first badminton player to win an Olympic medal and the first Indian to enter the finals of the world badminton championships.

Many experts agree that she’s the most successful athlete coming from India, and the upward trend in the interest of badminton from her country was mainly because of Saina herself. The badminton superstar currently holds a net worth of around $24 million. With that kind of fortune in her bag, she can easily afford a new house fitted with a top-of-the-line home security system!
