Tracy Austin tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players

In 2021 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 19) that Austin is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, 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 American 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 Austin Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Palos Verdes Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderaustin - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Tracy) and a fashion line called “Tracy Austin Seduction”.

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