[Saba Sports News] Last week, some fans noticed that China’s top badminton player Shi Yuqi went to an affordable barbershop for a haircut, sparking heated discussions among fans. From the photos exposed by the fans, it can be seen that if you purchase a membership card at this barbershop, the discounted price for 10 haircuts is 41, which means each haircut costs just over $4, indicating that Shi Yuqi is indeed very frugal. Many fans commented that many badminton stars’ casual wear costs $500 or even more than $1,000 per piece, while Shi Yuqi is not fond of buying branded clothes, and even goes to an affordable barbershop. They jokingly say his prize money has been spent on computer graphics cards and houses. Not long ago, a fan shared that Shi Yuqi bought a villa in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. The unit price per square meter exceeds $4,200, and the market price of each property is over $700,000. Statistics show that Shi Yuqi’s career total prize money has exceeded $1.59 million, not including sponsorship fees. Therefore, fans familiar with Chinese badminton know that Shi Yuqi also has the nickname “Shi Youqian”. But surprisingly, he is so frugal in his daily life.
