Grand Slam champion Li Na tops the 2013 list of richest Chinese sportspeople released by Titan Sports on Monday for the second year in a row, at 124.5 million yuan ($20 million).
The tennis star, who reached the final of the Australian Open and the semis at the US Open in 2013, upped her 112 million yuan ($18.1 million) earnings from 2012, but has recently been surrounded in controversy after it was revealed that the Hubei Tennis Centre still pays her a salary despite her being one of the richest sportspeople in the world.
China's Olympic champion shuttler Lin "Super" Dan came in second earning 30 million yuan ($4.8 million) in 2013, and swimming star Sun Yang was third with 22 million ($35 million).
