  • Howdy, friend. You have a nice, firm handshake. That tells me I can trust you. My name's Courtney but the folks 'round these parts call me "C Note".

    This is my personal blog. I write about tennis for other far more reputable and civilized outfits. You can find them here.

    Forbes Top Female Athletes: G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

    Money

    Forbes released their list of top 10 female athletes and 5 of the top 10 are tennis players (the other five being 4 golfers and a race car driver -- guess who?).

    1. Maria Sharapova -- $26M
    2. Serena Williams -- $14M
    3. Venus Williams -- $13M
    4. Justine Henin -- $12.5M
    5. Michelle Wie -- $12M
    6. Annika Sorenstam -- $11M
    7. Lorena Ochoa -- $10M
    8. Danica Patrick -- $7M
    9. Ana Ivanovic -- $6.5M
    10. Paula Creamer -- $6M

    I don't think Forbes is including Ana Ivanovic's recent deal with Rolex and I'm sure after this year she'll shoot up the ranks.  But it is shocking that Masha, at number one, makes over two times what Serena, at number 2, makes.  She is damn marketable.
