In September 2007, Chinese basketball superstar ,Yao Ming opened a new gym, Yao Ming Fitness, in Beijing's high-end luxury shopping complex, The Place. The rent for Yao's new 4,000 sqm venture is believed to run to USD 40,000 a month. Just a few years ago this would have been unthinkable for him. Yet nowadays it hardly makes a dent in his pay packet: Yao, China's richest sports star, has an estimated annual income of USD 35 million.
