Coco Gauff is the top-earning female athlete for the second straight year. The tennis player pulled in about 33 million dollars, with most of it coming from deals with companies like New Balance and Mercedes-Benz. Her on-court wins, including a French Open title, accounted for a smaller portion.
Right behind her is Aryna Sabalenka with 30 million, followed by Iga Świątek. Freestyle skier Eileen Gu and tennis player Qinwen Zheng round out the top five. Forbes says the total cash for the top twenty women hit 293 million, a solid jump from last year. Tennis players make up half of that top ten list.
Other big names cashing in include Madison Keys and Naomi Osaka. Gauff's number one spot comes from mixing major tournament victories with a strong lineup of brand partnerships.
