MARIA SHARAPOVA
TENNIS
NET WORTH: $200 MILLION

One of the biggest stars in tennis, Maria Sharapova, is one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world. Her career as a renowned tennis player spans from 2001 to 2020, and she was paid a staggering $39 million at the time. As impressive as that may be, it was just a fraction of what Maria made from being a superstar in the world of sports. From 2006 to 2016, she was, to her credit, the only female athlete to have been paid that much, which will be extremely hard to beat given her incredible skills as a showstopping tennis player. During the course of her career, like every well-known sports person out there, she was able to sign numerous sponsorship and endorsement deals with wildly popular companies, such as Porsche, Nike, Gatorade, Tag Heuer, Tropicana, and more.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that her net worth as of 2020 is already at $200 million.
