In 2022, Osaka raked in $51.1 million, while tennis great Serena Williams follows closely behind in second with $41.3 million and freestyle skier Eileen Gu in third with $20.1 million.

“We’ve made a ton of progress. We have a ton of progress left to be made, but brands are starting to see the value in women’s sports here and today as a driver of their business.”
