Not Venus Williams or Simone Biles, this US tennis player is world's top paid female athlete in 2025 — Check full list

The estimates, which take into account on-field (prize money, salary) and off-field income (brand endorsements, events, merchandise, etc.), further noted that the cutoff for the top 20 in 2025 is up to $8.1 million, from $6.3 million in 2024.
The list is diverse, featuring one athlete each from track and field and rugby, four basketball players, two golfers, two skiers, and 10 tennis players.
Why no Venus Williams, Simone Biles on list?
According to the Forbes report, sports stars Venus Williams and Simone Biles may very well have earned enough to rank on the list this year, but they were excluded due to inactivity in sports during the year.Simone Biles' last sporting event was the Paris Olympics, and there is no official word on her return for the 2028 Los Angeles games. Venus Williams played only three tournaments in 2025 and has participated in a total of five since 2023.

In 2025, the cut off jumped to $53.6 million — more than double the top woman athlete's total earnings. The salaries are the biggest gap generator, where 82 male athletes outearned the highest earning female athlete.
