We know that along with Venus and Serena Williams, Althea Gibson and Coco Guaff, Naomi Osaka is one of the most famous (and most skilled) tennis players to hold a racket. Now we also know that she’s making the big bucks, too.
It has been revealed that over the past 12 months, the acclaimed 23-year-old has earned a whopping $55 million. She is the highest paid woman in sports in the world.
Only just over $5 million of her earnings come from prize money won on the court, Sportico reports. The rest is constituted by a number of lucrative deals, including her role as a global ambassador for high fashion brand Louis Vuitton, her partnership with KINLÒ, is for people with melanated skin. She has a collaborative swimsuit like with Frankie’s Bikinis, too.
But not only is Osaka earning, but she’s investing as well. In January 2021, it was announced that she had become an investor in the North Carolina Courage of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), making her a part of the team’s ownership group.
