Coco Gauff has topped Sportico’s list of the highest-paid female athletes for the second consecutive year in 2024, earning a record $30.4 million. This makes her only the third woman in sports history, after Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, to surpass $30 million in annual earnings. Her income includes $9.4 million in prize money from notable wins like the WTA Finals in Riyadh and various other tournaments. Additionally, Gauff has secured $21 million in endorsements with brands like New Balance, Head, and UPS, showcasing her global appeal both on and off the court.

Aryna Sabalenka, ranked fifth with $17.7 million, has also had a remarkable year but has faced occasional scrutiny due to her Belarusian nationality amid international tensions. However, this has not significantly hampered her earnings, as she continues to thrive in sponsorships and prize money, reflecting her strong on-court performance.
