JUSTINE HENIN
TENNIS
NET WORTH: $14 MILLION

Justine Henin was born on June 1, 1982, in Liege, Belgium. With her signature single-handed backhand strike, Justine Henin dominated the courts of tennis and became one of the most notable in the bunch. This may also be attributed to her 117-week run on top of the leaderboards. Henin ended up as the year-end Number 1 in ’03, ’05, ’06, and ’07. She’s also one of the founding pillars for Belgium to be considered a powerhouse in the sport of tennis.

The powerhouse player got seven Grand Slam credits under her belt and an Olympic gold medalist in 2004 in Athens. However, Henin’s career was cut short, thanks to a chronic elbow injury. But that didn’t stop her legacy to be recognized by the media. Time even placed her on their list of 30 Legends of Women’s Tennis: Past, Present, and Future.
