According to the weibo (Chinese twitter) of Newbee's boss, they have to pay 30% tax first to the Chinese government due to some recent China-USA overseas earning taxation policy change. He also asked for tax evasion tips. Then the club will get a 10% cut (he then promised wage increase and welfare improvement for players) and the rest 63% will be split between the five players.

Yes, perhaps an idealist can say "winning gold really makes you hungry", but from a realists point of view xiao8 just became "The worlds best captain". He will most likely look to capitalise on his post-TI4 fame, i.e. negotiate better contract, sponsorship, commercials, etc.

A questions for the Americans, how much tax would NB have to pay on the $5m? What I'm trying to get at is that, after his cut is calculated, Xiao8 is not getting all that much. He might be able to pay for an apartment but certainly not set for life.

He is set for life pretty much, with some decent money management, staying in china and keepin same ish lifestyle ezpz

630k is no where near set for life unless you're living in a third world country

In terms of tax (have handled some international tax cases before), you have to check the bilateral tax treaties. Normally, if the prize was taxed in the US, a treaty would allow Newbee (and/or the players) to simply pay the difference between the taxes (say the US imposed 20% on prize money tax or income, China imposes 30% on the same, then they'd only have to pay 10% when they get back to China), depending on the provisions of the treaty (usually these treaties have a cap %).

This "changes" things even if the aggregate % is the same because deductions, value-added tax, and tax rates/bases are different everywhere so they could potentially save a lot of money by making use of Chinese tax laws, since the US usually isn't tax-friendly unless you live in the southern states.

Ultimately though 630k is a whoooole lot of money for someone below 30. It should encourage them to have another go, this time with even better conditions (contract, endorsements, exposure).

There were a couple of posts on LD suggesting that Valve pays the taxes, on prize winnings, not the players themselves. Baseless speculation, or actually confirmed somewhere?

Have to play 2 more times, winning TI6 (or getting a top placement), cause odd-numbered TIs are reserved for non-Chinese teams.

And xiao8's wife has that thigh gap that's all the fad these days.
