Agnieszka Radwánska became a pro in 2005 and won the WTA Fan Favorite Singles Player a remarkable six times. Though Radwánska hadn’t won any major championships by her retirement in 2018, she did add a lot of zeros to her net worth.
Having been one of the most popular players, Radwánska had a number of endorsement deals as well as $27 million in prize money. When she walked off the court for the last time in 2018, she walked home with a net worth of $25 million!
P.V. Sindhu – $10 Million
Badminton is a sport that may not be very well-known, but there are some players who are making their way up in this unique sport. Pusarla Venkata Sindhu (or P.V. Sindhu in the media) is the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in badminton, taking home the silver medal in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
Sindhu has made the most of her career with endorsements and sponsorships from Nike and Panasonic and is now worth about $10 million. Hopefully, Sindhu will only continue to rise higher both on and off the court.
Alex Morgan – $3 Million
Soccer star Alex Morgan is another female athlete who is building a legacy. Morgan is a member of the U.S. national team and has found herself in some very lucrative endorsement deals. She appeared alongside Lionel Messi on the FIFA 16 covers that were sold in the U.S. and also has endorsements with Nike and Coca-Cola.
Morgan has interests outside of the soccer field and has written The Kicks, a book series that is marketed towards middle schoolers. The series did very well and was even on the New York Times Best Sellers list! Because of her diversified portfolio, Morgan now has a net worth of $3 million.
McKayla Maroney – $4 Million
McKayla Maroney is known for her talents as an American gymnast, but she also became a famous meme for sporting a comical, unimpressed face after winning the silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games. Since her win and her social media fame, Maroney has been able to land guest appearances on TV shows.
Along with endorsements, have helped her achieve a net worth of $4 million. Like some athletes, injuries, unfortunately, forced her into early retirement, but Maroney still has a career to be proud of.
Paula Creamer – $8 Million
Though the only major tournament Paula Creamer won was the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open, she was the youngest player to receive $1 million in LPGA earnings. Creamer is also in the top 10 for her total career earnings, but she has been ranked only as high as number two in the women’s golf rankings.
Creamer may not be the top player, but with a net worth of $8 million from her time on the course, she has still had a very successful career.
