Top 10 List of Wealthiest Winter Olympic Athletes of All Time

And that is why Victor Nikiforov is on our Number Two.
Now you must be wondering since a while ago, who exactly beats King of Class, Victor Nikiforov? Be prepare to get surprised because you don’t need to look very far.
Number One on our top 10 Wealthiest Winter Olympic Athletes of All Time goes to the last Winter Olympic Figure Skating Single Men Gold Medalist, Yuuri Katsuki. Surprise? Well, I surely am!
Yuuri Katsuki receives a significant upgrade in both wardrobe and lifestyle after he lives with Victor Nikiforov, but I bet none of you even have the slightest idea that years back then when Yuuri is still a humble university scholarship student and sharing a dorm room with fellow figure skating athletes, Phichit Chulanot, he is already wealthier than most athletes.
Now, most of you are probably shaking your head while saying un-fucking-believable, a sentiment which all our team shares.
At interview years back, a reporter asks about his sponsors, which Yuuri replies he has none. A short back and forth later ends up with Yuuri saying he lives on passive income and that yes, his parents help him with that.
Now stop. Most, if not all, of us will take that as his parents funding him. While it is true, it is also true that Yuuri has a humble personality and likes to downplay his achievements. And that is the trap we all fall into.
You see, passive income that Yuuri refers to is actually management fees and carried interest of venture capitalist. What? To put it simply, Yuuri invests money on small startup business, and if they grow, he’ll get a nice cut of their profit for a long period of time.
Examples of small business that manages to grow big include the social media platform we all love, facebook, twitter and instagram. And guess who invest on those? That’s right folks! Yuuri Kasuki did!
Starting from a few years before and after his move to Detroit, Yuuri Katsuki, helped by his parents, invest in a series of Big Risk-Big Return venture capital on several companies that -in a display of either godly divine luck, scarily accurate future prediction or genius level business analysis skill- thrives and thrives. Earning him tens of thousands USD of passive income in a month alone.
My heart weeps. Really Yuuri, we love you for being such a humble precious cinnamon rolls, but we wish you would show-off a bit so that we won’t have to find out like this when you’re already taken, and left all of us mourning at the loss of such a great catch.
Oh, have I mentioned that Yuuri also graduates university with summa cum laude honor? That means he is a straight-A student for those scratching their head.
Looks, brain, skills, and money.
Give me 10 minutes to mourn the lost opportunity.

But well, I guess it won’t matter that much if we had known before anyway because honestly speaking, how many of us can beat Victor Living Legend and 2nd on our list, King of Class Nikiforov?
All I can say is that they deserve and suit each other and I, on the behalf of our team, would like to extend our congratulations for being the most perfect athlete’s power couple.
And that’s it for our weekly segments folks, leave your replies, comments, and questions bellow and we’ll see you again next week!
Bye Bye~
"What is it?", Yuuri asks as he places his cooking on their dining table.
Victor is almost always smiling, but this time he is positively sparkling as his eyes gleefully read whatever it is on his phone.
Victor then sets down his phone and gently grabs and lifts Yuuri’s right hand.
With warm eyes, he kisses Yuuri’s golden ring and says, “I’m just feeling really lucky to have you Yuuri~!”
“That again?”, Yuuri gives an indulgent smile, “I’m the lucky one to have you.”
Victor gives a small sigh as he drags Yuuri down and makes him sits on his lap. He wraps one arm around Yuuri’s waist while using his other arm to take a selfie of them.
“Vitya?”
“Mmmm, while I'm happy that people are starting to find out how awesome my Yuuri is...”, Victor trails but doesn't continue as he proceed to add some tags and posts the selfie, “There. Now let’s eat, we have a date waiting for us~”

Later Yuuri will exclaim, “Uwah, what happen??”, when he finally reaches for his phone and sees an extremely sharp spike in notification amount.
