Recently, FunPlus Phoenix’s Weibo page published images of the voice-over process of the players for the launch of a media product welcoming the 2021 World Championship.
The photos capture the moment when the 5 FPX players are sitting in the recording studio, and the most notable highlight is still Doinb. However, this time, the captain of the Fire Phoenix did not steal the spotlight with his usual “humorous” actions. On the contrary, he appeared quite serious during this recording session. But what really “caught the audience’s eye” was Doinb’s wristwatch, which accidentally (or perhaps not accidentally) ended up in the frame.
The watch, with its “tonneau” (tonneau: bulging in the middle, flat at both ends) shape, is recognizable even to those who are not well-versed in accessory collecting, signaling the high-end brand Richard Mille, produced in Switzerland.
Immediately, online detectives did not take long to find information about this watch. According to new.qq, Doinb’s watch is the Richard Mille Yohan Blake RM 61-01 Ultimate NTPT, priced at around 775,000 USD (5 million RMB), equivalent to over… 17.6 billion VND.
Richard Mille is already a watch brand specifically for the elite and celebrities, but the fact that an esports athlete like Doinb even owns this extremely high-end product has stunned the “outsiders”.
For the Esports community, while it is known that Doinb is very wealthy, currently considered the number one money-making machine in the LPL (even surpassing Uzi), the fact that he owns an accessory worth nearly a million dollars still leaves many gamers… astounded.
Another LPL player, Karsa, is also known as a “famous” watch enthusiast, but the most expensive watch owned by the jungler of Top Esports is priced at only 3 million RMB, which still pales in comparison to Doinb’s watch in terms of value.
According to many reports from Chinese media, Doinb’s total annual income, including salary, advertising, streaming… is no less than 6 million USD, comparable to Uzi at his peak. Additionally, Doinb and his wife have no other business activities.
It is known that Umi – Doinb’s wife, is also from a “noble family”, a wealthy heiress in China, and possesses the right to inherit a vast fortune. The couple is currently believed to own multiple properties, including villas and resorts in major cities in China, with the largest property exceeding 1,000 square meters.
Notably, Umi was previously criticized by netizens for revealing a shopping receipt totaling several hundred thousand RMB. Doinb’s wife was accused of being extravagant and not knowing how to save. But perhaps after seeing Doinb’s billion-dollar watch, many can only remain silent, as with such a vast fortune, it is clear that the couple has the right to spend freely on their personal interests.
