Maria Sharapova, 2005

Many would recognize this Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova for her beauty, but she was also once ranked the number one best player in 2005. She won the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) five times; her profession started in 2001 before she went on to announce her retirement in February 2020. 

Her worth is estimated at $180 million, which she got from her championship wins and many endorsements, including Tag Heuer and Nike. Sharapova got engaged to English entrepreneur Alexander Gilkes in 2020, and the two holidayed in Venice in September 2021, a nice change to their usual Santa Barbara home.
