　　今年3月11日，《福布斯》中文版2005年名人榜100强榜单揭晓，当时尚未从火箭队拿到巨额合同姚明依然稳居榜首，另外，由于恰逢奥运年，丰厚的奥运奖金使得体育明星在排行榜上的人数大幅度增加，这在社会上引起了极大反响。总的来说，姚明影响力无法估量，刘翔赶超姚明尚不现实，田亮负面新闻影响收入，郭晶晶收入千万一半上交，孙继海主要收入来自工资，李婷／孙甜甜奥运夺冠一夜成名......

Chinese NBA star Yao Ming is China's most marketable athlete with 150 million yuan ($18.5 million) in his wallet, beating out many sports celebrities1 to top the Forbes magazine's ranking of Chinese athletes, as Beijing Daily Messenger reported.

Liu Xiang, the 100-meter hurdles2 Olympic Champion from the 2004 Athens Games, was selected the third most well-known athlete in China.

In the 2005 poll, which ranked all celebrities in China overall, Liu soared upward to the top three ranking from last year's 90th place. The move came in large part, thanks to his gold medal in Athens.

When the top 100 celebrities list was released on March 11, 2005, Yao had not yet signed a new five-year contract worth US$76 million with the Houston Rockets, but this has not lessened3 his desire to win.

The Forbes poll noted4 that some differences exist between Olympic champions and many sports stars. In China, league matches have not developed enough maturity5, experts say, and common athletes have not yet gotten to the level of a Yao. The NBA star, they say, can serve as a good role model for others entering the sporting ranks.

Liu may challenge Yao in the advertising6 market within a short time, but he won't likely compare with the towering hoopster for a while because Yao's commercial value has been greatly marketed in the United States, Liu's manager said.

Tian Liang and Guo Jingjing, the Chinese diving prince and queen, were 16th and 17th on the Forbes list.  After Athens, Guo's social status is already worth up to 1 million yuan, but she said half of her earnings7 have been handed over to national swimming officials.

Other well known names on the list included Chinese international soccer fullback Sun Jihai (34), soccer forward Hao Haidong (55), table tennis Olympic champion Zhang Yining (59), tennis Olympic champions Li Ting and Sun Tiantian (62).

The annual Forbes rankings are based on a composite of media visibility and economic impact, the magazine's publishers said.
