Maria Sharapova | Former Pro-Tennis Player | $140 Million

She may have retired from the sport, but Maria Sharapova remains one of the most beloved tennis players in the world. During her career, she was ranked at the top consistently and was recognized for her mental toughness. In her career, Sharapova has won five consecutive weeks for 21 weeks and five consecutive world No. Aside from being one of the highest-paid female athletes in the world, Sharapova also earned millions through her different brand endorsements for Nike, TAG Heuer, Porsche, and Canon.

It is estimated that since becoming a professional in 2001, her total income has exceeded $285 million. The athlete enjoyed a decade in the sport, which has completely changed life for her and her family. Fortunately, with some intelligent investment planning, Sharapova is set for life—even after she’s stepped away from tennis. In October 2020, Maria bought a five-acre property in Summerland, California, for $8.6 million.
