The athletes’ ranking on the economical magazine’s top list was determined by their achievements in 60% and by their money raiser activity in 40%. When analysing the latter, they took into consideration which athlete works with a manager, what kind of sponsors an athlete has and what they advertise. They also checked how many followers they have on social media platforms and what kind of media performances each athlete had. There was also a jury giving points to the athletes.

Besides Katinka, handball player László Nagy, footballer Balázs Dzsudzsák, tennis player Tímea Babos, swimmers Dániel Gyurta and Zsuzsanna Jakabos, skier Edit Miklós and truck racer Norbert Kiss made it into the top 10.
