Ana Ivanovic tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players

In 2024 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (October 11) that Ivanovic is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between September 2025 and September 2026, a nearly $50 million lead over her closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Serbian tennis player has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Ivanovic Burger” chain) in Belgrade, a Football Team (the “Belgrade Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderivanovic - Serbia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ana) and a fashion line called “Ana Ivanovic Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Ana fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
