$30 million woman: Coco Gauff is the highest-paid female athlete in the world in 2024, per Sportico

She’s just 20 years of age. She’s already a Grand Slam champion. And now, she’s the highest-paid female athlete in the world.

Sportico released its annual list of the highest-paid female athletes of 2024, and this year Coco Gauff is high on a list that is literally crammed with tennis players.

Gauff raked in $30.4 million in 2024, including $21 million in endorsements, which means that she is the third female athlete to earn more than $30 million in a single year, along with Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka.

Six other tennis players – Iga Swiatek ($21.4 million), Zheng Qinwen ($20.6 million), Aryna Sabalenka ($17.7 million), Naomi Osaka ($15.9 million) and Emma Raducanu ($14.7 million), populate six of the top seven spots on the list.

Jasmine Paolini ($10 million), Jessica Pegula ($8.2 million) and Elena Rybakina ($7.9 million) also cracked the Top 15, per Sportico.
