Naomi Osaka – $60M

Since she is the first woman we came across on this list, it would conclude that Naomi Osaka is the highest-paid female athlete in the world in 2021. She is also one of two women to make this list. A four-time “Grand Slam” champion, Osaka represents Japan instead of the United States, where she grew up.

Osaka is worth $25 million, which will only continue to grow if she continues to be among the highest-paid athletes in the future. Businesses are lining up to sponsor her, and she already has endorsement deals with ‘Workday,” “Louis Vuitton,” and “Airbnb.” In fact, $50 million of her $60 million earnings reportedly came from endorsements.
