SERENA WILLIAMS
TENNIS
EARNINGS: $200 MILLION

Serena Williams was born in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on September 26, 1981. She is widely considered the most successful tennis player of all-time. She has all her accolades and championship trophies to back this up. If we could just get a brief glimpse and see all the gold awards that she racked up over the course of her career, it would be enough to send us through the roofing! She has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles and is the most champion winner in the open era.

This year, most of her earnings came from partnership deals and sponsorships. Well, that’s the life of a famous athlete, we figure. On top of that, she also had a couple of businesses running in the background. For those who didn’t know, she and her sibling are one of the minority owners of the Florida Dolphins, and that’s just part of her portfolio!
