10 Richest Female Athletes in The World

It’s no secret that there is some ridiculous money in sports. As of 2014, the sports industry in North America alone was worth $60.5 billion – a huge number that is expected to rise to an even more impressive $73.5 billion by 2019. This rapid growth allowed thousands of professional athletes to make a name for themselves, and with that, a fat paycheck.That being said, in the world of professional sports, women are often overlooked and their male counterparts are favoured instead. Sure, elite superstars like Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams might appear in the headlines once in awhile, but you have to admit – we see a lot more men featured for a lot less.Well, this article aims to put that at rest and shine the spotlight on some of the richest women in sports. And ladies, if you’ve been considering becoming the next international golf superstar, it might be a great idea. Take a look at the diverse (and incredibly rich) list of richest female athletes in the world below which is made by Insidermonkey's experts, and get going.

That paradigm is shifting with the changing of the times, of course, but we’re still quite far from giving female athletes the same recognition that most famous gay athletes.
