TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Women’s sports have gained momentum throughout the course of 2024, with the fifteen highest-paid female athletes reaping a 27% earnings growth compared to the preceding year. Sportica counted that eleven female athletes made at least $10 million now.

Sportica and Forbes present the counting earning data of the highest-paid female athletes, highlighting the admission of other sports besides tennis as follows:

Coco Gauff – $34.4 million

Securing trophies at the China Open and the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Coco Gauff continues to hold the title of the world’s highest-paid female athlete, whose earnings accumulated at $34.4 million. Beyond the court payouts, Gauff boasts a wide selection of endorsements, from Fanatics and Naked Juice, UPS, L’Oréal, Barilla, UPS, to New Balance. The 20-year-old tennis star also makes constant appearances on magazine covers.

Iga witek – $23.8 million

Despite losing her grip on the No. 1 singles ranking after 50 straight weeks reigning, Iga witek doesn’t shy away from deluxe sponsorships, with Lancôme and Lego recently joining the chains. In November 2024, the International Tennis Integrity Agency put the Polish-born tennis player on a one-month suspension for testing positive for a banned substance. Even so, she still managed to capture the second spot for the year-end WTA rankings.

Eileen Gu – $22.1 million

As the first rookie since Candace Parker in 2008 to be appointed to the All-WNBA first team, Caitlin Clark deserves her place on the list of the highest-paid female athletes for her on-court earnings that reach roughly $100,000. Across the field, Clark also garners a list of partnerships with brands like Nike, Wilson Sporting Goods, and State Farm.
