Salary by season
Reported Press estimate Model
Base salary only: bonuses, prize money and personal sponsors come on top.
Press estimate, single source. €1.3M is what Forbes Česko (Robert Sattler), the magazine's own estimate put his current salary at (2026-08); we use it as the figure rather than our own estimate, because a journalist with a source is closer to the truth than a model. It is one outlet and it is not an official figure. Our own model, without this figure, would say €1.5M. source
