Serena Williams | Professional Tennis Player | $200 Million

Aside from being one of the greatest athletes in history, Serena Williams is also the highest-earning female player in the sport. But that’s really nothing compared to the records she has broken and titles she has received during her career. Needless to say, her $200-million net worth is a well-deserved bonus given her contributions to tennis. Most of Williams’s income comes from endorsements. She is one of the most popular endorsement athletes in the world.

She earns $15-20 million a year from tennis endorsement companies such as Nike and Kraft Foods. In 2004, Williams struck a $40m deal with Nike to produce a fashion line. Now that she’s a new mother with her husband Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, they are making sure that their daughter receives the best. With the couple’s combined wealth, getting top of the line home security systems for their property should be among their priorities.
