Hadi Choopan won a total of $600,000 in his three competitions in 2023.
In the past two or three years, Hadi Choopan has become a prominent figure in Iranian sports and has gained unparalleled popularity among Iranian sports enthusiasts.
Although Hadi experienced a disappointing moment during the announcement of results at the 2023 Mr. Olympia and was unable to repeat his championship as he expected, the year 2023 ended positively for him.
Hadi Choopan, who finished as the runner-up at Mr. Olympia below Derek Lunsford, left the stage seeing the Sandow trophy in his opponent and teammate’s hands. However, after several months of hard training and focusing on his preparation programs, he impressed the bodybuilding world at the Arnold Classic in the USA by bringing a new and exceptional version to the stage.
Not considering Hadi Choopan’s other incomes, it should be noted that he received $610,000 in prize money over a solar year, which is estimated to be about 36 billion tomans at today’s exchange rate. Of course, it should not be forgotten that Choopan pays part of these prizes as taxes in those countries.
There is an opportunity for the Persian Wolf to bring his prize money close to one million dollars in 2024 by winning the Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic USA competitions.
