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.
Mikaela Shiffrin – $3 Million
Skier Mikaela Shiffrin took two gold medals and a silver medal in the 2014 Sochi and 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic games. Some may see Shiffrin as a predecessor to Lindsey Vonn, but Shiffrin is revealing that she has her own legacy to leave behind.
In March 2019, she was the first alpine skier to land 15 World Cup wins, so it seems that fans haven’t yet seen all that Shiffrin can do. From her winnings along with her numerous endorsements from big brands like Adidas and Barilla, her net worth is $3 million.
Gabby Douglas – $4 Million
During the Olympics, Gabby Douglas won the spectator's hearts not only for her incredible gymnastics skills but also for her congenial and warm personality. Douglas was one of the “Fierce Five” group of female gymnasts who dominated the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.
She has made $4 million from both endorsements and book sales and is the first African (of any nationality) to win a gold medal for the all-around champion. At just age 24, Douglas is a household name and her life story even became a TV movie on the Lifetime channel.
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.
Elina Svitolina – $12 Million
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.
