Coco Gauff has been named the highest-earning female athlete of 2024, surpassing $30 million in earnings from prize money and endorsements. She joins Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams as the only women in sports history to achieve this milestone.

Gauff’s earnings increased by $7 million compared to 2023. Skiing star Eileen Gu claimed second place with $22.1 million, while tennis star Iga Swiatek dropped to third.

Tennis players dominate the top earners list, with Zheng Qinwen making her debut in fourth.

Track and field athletes continue to struggle financially, with no representatives in the top 10 or 30. However, new initiatives like the Athlos Track Meet aim to increase investment and improve earnings in athletics.
