Alex Yee burst onto the Olympic scene in 2020, winning a gold and silver medal in triathlon events.
-
The Londoner also features prominently in the Super League Triathlon and ITU World Triathlon Series.
-
Still only 26-years-old, Yee has plenty of time to add many more medals to his already impressive collection.
Alex Yee is a professional triathlete, and while the Olympic Games are the pinnacle of triathlon competition, Yee competes throughout the year to earn winnings from events around the world.
He comes to Paris with high hopes of collecting at least one more gold medal and leads the sports betting odds to do so in the men’s triathlon, having won two international events already in 2024.
With Yee being one of the stars of Team GB, we’re delving into what his net worth might be with the Olympics in full swing.
Salary & Earnings
Unlike many forms of athletics prominent at the Olympics, the triathlon has its own professional circuit that’s well-funded enough that successful triathletes can make a career out of competing.
As such, we can see several figures for Yee’s earnings in competitions like the Super League, WTCS, and other such events.
In 2021, Yee collected around £125,000 from the WTCS and Super League, £105,800 from those two competitions in 2022, and another £99,000 in 2023.
The triathlete also stands to get a sizable bit of funding from Team GB to facilitate his Paris 2024 efforts, with the Athlete Performance Awards giving £7,246,639 to the team’s triathletes for the Summer Games.
With five people competing across the three triathlon events in 2024, Yee’s share – if all’s even – could be in the region of £1,449,327.
How Much Is Alex Yee Worth?
The triathlete and long distance runner from Lewisham has firmly established himself among the best competitors in the world, collecting gold medals and big event wins galore.
So, the Alex Yee net worth figure is estimated to be quite high. Outlets generally land on a net worth in the region of £2.5 million to £3.5 million. His pro earnings and endorsements will be a big part of this valuation.
Should Yee enjoy even more podium success at the 2024 Summer Games, as the Olympic tips expect, his net worth would undoubtedly increase – especially if he follows up with more dominance on the pro circuit.
Endorsements & Sponsors
Yee already boasts quite an impressive set of sponsors and endorsements that don his triathlon gear at team and singles events.
On his website, Yee’s got Fi’zi:k, Turner & Townsend Alinea, New Balance, Huub, Oakley, Hutchinson, Trek Factory Racing, and Maurten listed as his primary brand associations.
Triathlon Record and Achievements
Having collected accolades in his junior years, Yee got his first top-three finish on the elite circuit in 2018, finishing in the bronze medal place of the Weihai race at the ITU Triathlon World Cup.
Over the next few years, he added several wins in the ITU World Triathlon Series, the organisation’s mixed relay events, and the Super League Triathlon. Then came the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Yee would leave his first Summer Games with a silver medal in the men’s triathlon and was part of the gold-winning mixed relay team for Team GB.
His list of accolades has only grown since the Games held in 2021. In 2022, he won the inaugural virtual-real blended Esports World Triathlon Championship event, as well as three meets on the ITU World Series.
To warm up for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Yee won at the 2024 Cagliari event of the World Triathlon Championship Series as well as the 2024 Europe Triathlon Cup in Kitzbuhel.
