Why Pickleball is Taking Over the World: Players can Make 8 Figures | DJ Young E378

Pickleball isn’t just a sport—it’s a movement. And yes, top players are pulling in 8 figures.

In this episode, Rich sits down with pro pickleballer DJ Young to talk about the meteoric rise of the fastest-growing sport in America—and how players, brands, and entrepreneurs are all cashing in. From big-league contracts and sponsorship deals to custom paddle companies and wild new business ideas (like pickleball on yachts), this one covers it all.

They get into:

• How DJ went from athlete to founder—building a 6-figure paddle brand
• Why top players are making $2M–$3M/year (and how they’re stacking income)
• What most people don’t know about the MLP vs. PPA tour structure
• The massive opportunity in pickleball-themed travel, Airbnbs, and charter experiences
• Why personal brand matters just as much as your ranking

If you’re curious about the future of sports, lifestyle branding, or niche empires—this is your playbook.

Let’s get it.
