Being good at tennis is a profitable business - a singles win at the US Open this week will earn you a cool $5 million.
It’s also one of the few sports to offer similar financial rewards in the men’s and women’s games - with all the major titles now offering equal money (Wimbledon relenting in 2007, decades after the US Open in 1973).
That means that women are right up there with the men when it comes to earning potential - sadly something that can’t be said for many sports such as golf, football and ruby.
Add in money-spinning advertising and sponsorship deals, personal appearances and shrewd investments, and these aces can become fabulously wealthy.
Here are the 17 wealthiest female tennis stars in the world in 2025, according to CelebrityNetWorth.
