Serena Williams earned majority of her moolah from crushing her opponents left and right. However, the money she earned from sponsorship contracts is nothing to scoff at. If that isn’t enough for her, she also has earned sizable amounts making guest appearances in music videos, commercials, magazines, television, and movies. And she’s not done yet. She’s still winning titles and still gracing the camera, showing off her enviable tennis skills and her acting skills.
Tennis won’t ever get dull, especially with such promising talent on the rise. The constant back and forth hitting, high drama hits, celebratory expressions, and tears of defeat keep people of all ages tuning in and watching, following their favorites from the beginning until the end. The sweat inducing efforts of female tennis players is compensated with high earnings.
