The Dutch speed skater won a gold and a silver medal at the Winter Games in Milan Cortina, confirming herself as one of the stars of the discipline, but her popularity went far beyond the sport.

The Dutch skater, who earned a million euros for showing off her Nike bra after winning gold, could cash in as much as 13 million euros in the coming days thanks to her media exposure during the Olympics in Italy.

“What Jutta Leerdman and Jake Paul have done recently has only been seen with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift”, Rob Wilson, a’leading authority on sports business and finance, told the Daily Mail.

Leerdam has more than 6.3 million followers on Instagram, which combined with her Youtuber boyfriend Jake Paul&#8217s 28 allows her unprecedented exposure for an Olympic athlete. “I think exposure to the public through a high-profile relationship can really accelerate recognition in certain markets” said Wilson again.

Leerdam and Paul have achieved celebrity status similar to that of the Victoria Adams and David Beckham couple: “What brands are really looking for is the potential to reach a wide audience: authenticity, legitimacy in her performance, and, moreover, alignment with the audience. She possesses all three characteristics, which is quite rare in a single athlete”.
