Serena Williams – $8 million per year
Tennis fans will always be familiar with the number 1 female tennis player in the world. Serena Jameka Williams is a Grand Slam titlist with an estimated net worth of $225 million. In 2016, she was declared the highest-paid female athlete. Even when she has to pay fines and consult with lawyers to deal with her ongoing cases, the expenses hardly make a dent in Williams’ annual earnings of $8 million.
At 39 years old, Williams does not have any plans to retire from the sport anytime soon. This plan will surely make Williams even richer in the coming years as still holds well-coveted titles in the tennis arena. In fact, she might even pass on her legacy to her young daughter Olympia. The two were recently photographed playing tennis by Williams’ supportive husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. We can’t wait to see Olympia in the court soon!
