Caroline Wozniacki 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 Wozniacki is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between September 2025 and September 2026, a nearly $30 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 Danish tennis player has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Wozniacki Burger” chain) in Copenhagen, a Football Team (the “Odense Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwozniacki - Denmark), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Caroline) and a fashion line called “Caroline Wozniacki Seduction”.

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