Yao Ming
It might be dumbfounding that Yao Ming, 7’6″, succeeded during his five seasons with the Shanghai Sharks and another decade with the NBA’s Houston Rockets. Yet he was more than a court celebrity. His disclosed $120 million net worth appears to be a result of lucrative sponsorship deals and salary. However, Yao is not the only basketball star in his family. Wife Ye Li represented China in the same sport at the 2004 Athens Olympics – the same event at which the couple made their relationship public. The couple married in 2007 and have one daughter, Yao Qinlei.
