"Two months ago I received an offer from a well-known brand. However, I don't 100 percent support it."
"I don't feel comfortable with it. It means six digits for a campaign," he said as reported by The Sun.
I don't know what the strong reason behind the refusal. He only said he did not support the brand which was also unnamed.
Alica Schmidt still chose to stick to her income in the world of sports even though she was relatively small.
He only earns around 611 pounds of athletics or IDR 12 million per month.
"In principle, I have to say that it is not easy for most German athletic athletes to make a living from sports."
"Of course there is money that can be generated from competitions. In most competitions you don't make money."
"Personally, I can't live just by the amount of this (income). For many competitions, you still have to bear the costs of travel and hotels, which are not always borne."
"Most of us study part-time to get a second source of income or even have a side job we do," said Alica Schmidt.
Luckily, Alica Schmidt has a large source of income from her social media. Apart from TikTok, he has an Instagram account that has 4.9 million followers.
