Ukrainian native Elina Svitolina currently ranks fifth and, though she has not won any major tournaments, she remains a constant presence on the pro tennis scene. Her lack of tournament wins has not shaken her confidence as she has defeated both Venus and Serena Williams along with Halep, Kerber, and Osaka.
She also made it to the semifinals of both the French and US Opens in 2019. Svitolina has accumulated over $19 million in prize money and her net worth is presently estimated to be $12 million.
Mary Pierce – $16 Million
Though Mary Pierce has represented France at various tournaments, she’s both a citizen of Canada and the U.S. Pierce won the Australian Open singles tournament in 1995 and the French Open in 2000. She also won the doubles tournament at the French Open in 2000 and mixed doubles at Wimbledon in 2005.
Pierce has been discerning in her career choices and, though she made just under $10 million in prize money, she accumulated much more through her endorsements. Her wise choices have truly paid off as today she is worth $16 million.
Sydney Leroux – $3 Million
Sydney Leroux was born into a sports-oriented family, so it's not hard to believe that she herself would become an athlete. Her American father was a baseball player and her Canadian mother was a softball player, but for herself Leroux chose a soccer ball.
She currently plays as a part of the American national soccer team as a forward and was one of the first female players who debuted on FIFA 2016. Leroux has also landed coveted endorsement deals with Nike, Beats by Dre and Nestlé. And though she is still an up-and-coming star, Leroux already has a net worth of $3 million.
Lorena Ochoa – $15 Million
Originally from Mexico, golfer Lorena Ochoa held the number one spot for weeks and was only ousted from the rankings when she retired in 2010. The accomplished pro worked hard to hold onto the number one spot and, with all the money she’s earned in tournaments and endorsements, boasts a net worth of $15 million.
Many would have liked to see the golf champion go even further but at age 28, Ocho decided to head off the green for good.
Maria Sharapova – $195 Million
Russian tennis pro-Maria Sharapova was the first to be ranked number one in the world. Notoriety came early to Sharapova as she rose to the top of the tennis arena at the tender age of 18. She has won five Grand Slam titles and 36 titles total in her career.
Along with her amazing wins, she has also snagged endorsement deals and modeling gigs. Sharapova may flank the Williams sisters in her earnings, but she will always be considered one of the best players, her $195 million net worth proves that.
