In a sport that thrives on precision, passion, and power, these women have not only dominated the courts but also conquered the world beyond them. From Grand Slam triumphs to multimillion-dollar endorsements, their influence extends far beyond tennis — shaping culture, business, and inspiration for generations to come. Here’s a look at the all-time greatest and richest women in tennis as of 2025 — a celebration of both athletic brilliance and financial empire.
1. Serena Williams — $340 Million
Unquestionably the greatest of all time, Serena Williams transformed tennis with her ferocity, longevity, and unmatched 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Off the court, her empire includes Serena Ventures, fashion lines, and major brand partnerships with Nike and Gucci. In 2025, her legacy remains untouchable — a blend of sporting greatness and business genius.
2. Maria Sharapova — $220 Million
The Russian superstar may have retired, but her elegance and marketability never faded. With five Grand Slam titles and endorsement deals with Porsche, Nike, and Evian, Sharapova turned her success into gold. Her brand “Sugarpova” and investments continue to multiply her net worth in 2025.
3. Venus Williams — $120 Million
Venus is not only Serena’s sister but also her own legend — a seven-time Grand Slam champion and a trailblazer for equal pay in tennis. Her fashion brand EleVen and business acumen keep her among the richest athletes in women’s sports.
4. Naomi Osaka — $110 Million
A modern icon, Osaka’s rise was as quick as her serve. With four Grand Slam titles and major sponsorships (Nike, Louis Vuitton, Mastercard), she became a face of global empowerment. Her mental health advocacy and entrepreneurial moves keep her influence strong.
5. Steffi Graf — $100 Million
The German legend dominated the late 1980s and early ’90s, holding the unique record of a Golden Slam (1988) — winning all four majors and Olympic gold in the same year. Married to Andre Agassi, Graf’s legacy and brand investments sustain her immense worth.
6. Billie Jean King — $90 Million
More than a champion — a pioneer. King’s fight for gender equality transformed the sport. Her 39 major titles and off-court advocacy led to the formation of the WTA and enduring respect. Even in 2025, her influence is priceless.
7. Martina Navratilova — $80 Million
With 59 Grand Slam titles across singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, Navratilova remains one of the most complete players ever. Her transition into commentary and investments keeps her at the top financially and historically.
8. Chris Evert — $50 Million
A symbol of grace and consistency, Evert won 18 Grand Slam singles titles and held the world No. 1 ranking for years. Her post-tennis career in broadcasting and academy work continues to add to her wealth and reputation.
9. Caroline Wozniacki — $45 Million
Known for her resilience and defensive brilliance, Wozniacki became the first Scandinavian woman to rank No. 1. Her endorsements with Rolex and Adidas, plus her return to tennis in 2024, have kept her fortune and fame alive.
10. Iga Świątek — $25 Million
The youngest name on this list, Poland’s powerhouse has already become a global sensation with multiple Grand Slam wins and endorsements from Rolex, Asics, and PZU. At just 24, her rise shows no signs of slowing — both in rankings and riches.
A Legacy Beyond the Numbers
These women symbolize more than financial success — they represent evolution. Each forged her own path, breaking barriers, redefining power and femininity in sport, and inspiring millions to chase greatness.
In 2025, as women’s tennis reaches new heights of popularity and profitability, these icons remind the world that true greatness isn’t just measured in trophies or millions — but in the impact left on and off the court.
