Malaysia's monetary security to its players is unmatched by any other national sports association. The top money earning comes from the world ranking bonus, as players ranked from #32 to #1 in the world get a quarterly payment ranging from 4,500RM to 45,000RM. Women's singles players receive as much as 4,500RM to 36,000RM in the same bracket. Men's doubles 1st or 2nd ranked make 80,000RM per quarter and 9th to 16th take home 24,000RM. Mixed doubles top 8 only receive money due to a lack of success, but top 2 can benefit in the amount of 40,000RM. A Super Series title can earn you 10,000RM, a grand prix win 5,000RM, and a presidential bonus can guarantee you with a 25% addition of the winning purse. The ultimate- Olympic gold is worth an impressive 100,000RM.
