Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-08 00:50:55) Incomes of top Go players One more interesting article from the IGN "Goama" newsletter - http://gogame.info Incomes of Top Korean Professionals in 2007: 1. Lee Sedol - $600.000 2. Lee Changho - $400.000 3. Park Yeonghun - $360.000 4. Cho Hanseung – $180.000 5. Kang Dongyun - $150.000 6. Mok Jinseok -$148.000 7. Lee Yeongku -$122.000 8. Won Sungjin -$116.000 9. Yun Junsang - $113.000 10. Kim Jiseok – $113.000 Japanese players, even who is not famous on international arena, makes more money, but it's still hard to compare their tournament incomes with top football or hockey players. Maybe better to compare chess and Go players: "As sports go, chess is not lucrative for the average professional. The well known top players who have been able to achieve millionaire status (Karpov and Kasparov) are the exceptions. Aside from them, there are only about 20 players world wide who do well financially from chess ($100,000+ per year income), and another 100 or so that make a comfortable living ($50,000+). The next 1,000 players, on average, come out about even -- earning in prizes what they incur in entry fees and expenses. Then come perhaps 10,000 players who invest several thousand dollars more per year than they earn." -- from "GM RAM: Essential Grandmaster Knowledge" by Rashid Ziatdi and Peter Dyson, PROChess LLC, New York, 1998
