Receives Huge Inheritance
From Business Deal
Naomi Osaka made her name beating Serena Williams on the court.
Now, she’s topped the tennis icon at another key venue — the bank.
Osaka, 22, earned $37.4 million in prize money and endorsements over the last 12 months, supplanting Williams as the highest- paid female athlete in the world, according to Forbes. The figure is also the highest ever for a female athlete,
passing the $29.7 million payday Maria Sharapova earned in 2015, according to the report.
Four-Year Streak For Williams Snapped
There’s no need to shed a tear for Williams, though. The 38-year-old, 23-time Grand Slam winner did just fine, earning $36 million for the second-biggest payday ever for a female athlete.
