Mary Pierce tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players

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 Wednesday (November 20) that Pierce is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 French tennis player has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Pierce Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Montreal Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpierce - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mary) and a fashion line called “Mary Pierce Seduction”.

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