Serena Williams Steals The Spotlight In Forbes List For Highest-Earning Female Athletes (See Top 10)
23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams, has topped the Forbes list for the highest earning female athletes – in a list that is dominated by tennis players.
While eight of the top 10 highest earning female athletes are tennis players, the list revealed that Williams earned just $62,000 (£48,050) from prize money during the past year – owing largely to her 14-month break to have a baby – but made $18m (£13.95m) through endorsements.
Williams, who will try to equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slam titles when she competes at the US Open in New York, earned twice as much off the court as any other female athlete, according to Forbes.
