In 2022 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (December 24) that Janković is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $40 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 $215 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 Janković Burger” chain) in Belgrade, a Football Team (the “Belgrade Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjanković - Serbia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jelena) and a fashion line called “Jelena Janković Seduction”.

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