SERENA WILLIAMS – $200 MILLION
Let’s give credit where it’s due: Serena Williams is arguably the top female tennis player in the world and considered to be the face of the sport for aspiring players around the globe. The athlete won her first Grand Slam singles title in the U.S. Open back in 1999, and her victories continue pouring in. Did you know she even had to beat her older sister, Venus, along the path to success? There’s certainly no bad blood between them!
We’re sure Venus is proud of her sister’s achievements, including being the only woman on Forbes’ 100 Highest Paid Athletes for 2017. With her playing styles, which is amplified immediate control of rallies with her strict and consistent service, the return of serve, and forceful groundstrokes in both forehand and backhand, we’re just waiting for Serena Williams to receive the highest honors in tennis and be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
