Maria Sharapova is only thirty years old, but it feels like she has been around forever due to the fact that she has been on the WTA tour for over fifteen years, and has been probably the most talked about female tennis player in the world since then.
She has spent long stretches as the number one woman tennis player in the world, first achieving the feat when she was only 18-years-old. She’s made over $30 million in prize money over her career, but that number is dwarfed by her endless list of endorsements, which are said to total around $300,000,000.
