Maria Sharapova – $195 Million

Maria Sharapova is one of the best tennis players in the world. She is just one of the ten women who managed to have a grand slam career in the tennis world. When Sharapova was two years old, her family moved to Sochi. At the age of four, Sharapova got her first tennis racket from Alexander Kafelnikov and started practicing tennis with her father in the local park. She became a professional in 2001. Since then, she had been making a lot of money from her winnings to her endorsements.

Now, she is worth $195 million. She even signed contracts with Motorola, Tiffany and Co., Nike, Gatorade, and Tropicana. Aside from her talent, it cannot be denied that Maria has the looks, height, and body. Hence, she had been featured as a model in many ad campaigns. In 2016, the women tennis banned her from playing for 15 months after failing a drug test. Fortunately, she did not need her lawyer at the time. She officially retired in February.
