In 2022 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top.

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

The Spanish tennis player has an estimated net worth of $275 million.

She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Sánchez Vicario Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Barcelona Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersánchez Vicario - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Arantxa) and a fashion line called “Arantxa Sánchez Vicario Seduction”.

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