Professional sports are often seen as a path to fame and wealth, but especially in sports with less viewership or not much public interest, making money can be hard. But one thing that never fails to help, is beauty, particularly in women's sports. Some of these women are terrific athletes that deserve recognition despite how good they look. Others might not be among the best, but look so good that how well they perform becomes irrelevant. All of them are drop-dead gorgeous and their bank accounts make them even more of a catch for a prospective partner! Still, learning a thing or two about the hottest female athletes can be useful, as in some cases, you might get more than you bargained for…
Jennie Finch - Softball - Net Worth: $1.5 Million
Jennie Finch is one of the most famous and successful women in softball, having broken several college softball records, brought the US two Olympic medals and leaving a great impression as a pro. She is also one of the most beautiful athletes to have graced a softball field. Her 2005 wedding to Casey Daigle and the birth of their children was what prompted her to retire in 2010, to devote herself to her family. Since then, she has been actively promoting softball and women's involvement in sports, as well as releasing her own line of clothes, accessories, and jewelry.
Carmen Jorda - F1 - Net Worth: $2 Million
In a sport dominated by men, Carmen Jorda stands out as one of the few women that is not a model or an executive. A motor racing driver since an early age, she was brought into the fold by her father, Jose Miguel Jorda, a former driver himself. After she was picked as a development driver by Lotus and Renault Sport Formula 1 teams, she faced criticism that she was just chosen as a marketing trick, counting on her stunning looks to attract attention (and bring money to the team in the form of endorsements). Though she denies all this, the fact that she was picked without ever having won a race makes people wonder.
Coming Up, America Picks Up The Challenge With A Beauty Of Its Own
Lindsey Vonn - Alpine Ski - Net Worth: $3 Million
We don't want to say that Lindsay Vonn's achievements as an alpine skier are not important because they aren't. In fact, she has broken records and won numerous gold medal but that isn't the reason she is one of the most recognizable skiers in the US. She has her looks to thank for that, as Lindsay could easily pass for a Hollywood star instead of a dedicated athlete and that is reflected in her sponsors, that include Oakley, Red Bull and Under Armour. She could be even greater, but many injuries have plagued her career, including having to undergo surgery for a broken arm in 2016.
Eugenie Bouchard - Tennis - Net Worth: $3.3 Million
Tennis is a sport that has given many of the most beautiful athletes in the world, so the emergence of Eugenie Bouchard was no surprise. The Canadian took the tennis world by storm and won her first WTA singles title in 2014, though her beauty had made her stand out even before. Both her success and her appearance have helped her a number of endorsement deals, like a three-year contract with Nike, a deal with Babolat, Coca-Cola and even one from Aviva! Her earnings must have skyrocketed! An accident in 2015 has left her suffering from spells of vertigo and she has filed a lawsuit seeking damages against the US Tennis Association.
Danica Patrick - NASCAR - Net Worth: $60 Million
Possibly the most successful female racing driver, Danica Patrick could easily follow a career as a model, if racing hadn't won her over. Not that she doesn't do a bit of modeling, commercials, voice acting, acting and anything else she is given the opportunity to. She didn't amass $60 million just by being pretty, but it sure doesn't hurt her either. She got a divorce in 2012 so if anyone is interested in a beautiful, rich woman who can get him excellent tickets for NASCAR races, here is your chance to get your dreams!
Silje Norendal - Snowboard - Net Worth: $1 Million
From freezing Norway comes this blonde beauty who is -surprise- a snowboarder. Silje Norendal is just 24 and has already won gold medals at Winter X Games and Winter X Games Europe and took part in the Winter Olympics in 2014. Looking almost like the embodiment of the beautiful Scandinavian, she has managed to snag endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Oakley sunglasses, Underarmour, K2 and Rockstar (the drinks company). That is how she has a seven-digit savings account at her age. If she posted a few less snow-themed pictures on her social media, you'd mistake her for a model.
Up Next, A Woman That Can Knock You Out, In More Ways Than One
Gina Carano - MMA - Net Worth: $4 Million
Gina Carano was not the best female MMA fighter, but for some time, she was the most famous. A good fighter who also happened to be incredibly hot, she drew enough attention that soon she moved on from martial arts to getting gigs as a model and working in movies, appearing in Haywire and Deadpool. She's not only muscles and beauty though, as she also holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. All that has helped Gina build up a nice bank account and with more movies coming up, we're sure by the time for retirement has come, she will be all set up.
Michelle Jenneke - Hurdler - Net Worth: $3 Million
Michelle Jenneke's fame is a testament to the power of the modern internet. The Australian hurdler is undoubtedly beautiful but realistically, she would have remained one athlete in the crowd. That was until a video of her doing a bouncy warm-up routine before a race in 2012 went viral and the internet went nuts about her. Her natural good looks, sweet smile and energy made her a fan favorite. Soon after that, she got deals for commercials, swimsuit photoshoots, endorsements and the opportunity to work as a model. Her athletic career has not been as successful but with $3 million already in her bank account at the age of 24, her future looks as bright as her smile!
GARBINE MUGURUZA - TENNIS - NET WORTH: $12 MILLION
Garbiñe Muguruza, the Spanish-Venezuelan tennis superstar, is currently ranked as No. 3 in the female singles. Muguruza started playing tennis when she was merely three years old and hasn't stopped climbing the ranks since. She was ranked as the world No. 1 female tennis player in 2017. After beating Serena Williams in the Wimbledon finals, she was the first person ever to beat both Williams sisters in major event single finals. Muguruza is estimated to have a net worth of $12 million, having won $9 million of prize money during her professional career.
SERENA WILLIAMS - TENNIS - NET WORTH: $150 MILLION
Serena Williams is widely accepted as the biggest female tennis star in history. Throughout the years she has been ranked as the world's number one female tennis player eight times. Although a 16-year-old Serena lost the Battle of the Genders that she and her sister challenged male tennis players with, the loss made her stronger. She has won more titles (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) than any other player ever has, both male and female. Williams has earned $81.7 million in prize money, and with endorsements from companies such as Delta Air Lines, IBM, Wilson, Nike, and Beats by Dre headphones she has added even more money to this fortune.
KIM YUNA - FIGURE SKATER - NET WORTH: $21 MILLION
Kim Yuna isn't nicknamed Queen Yuna for no reason. This two-time Olympian medal winner won her first international competition at 11 and has only improved since. Her moves have astounded audiences, and Yuna even has her own signature move - the Yuna Spin. Yuna managed to become a world-class athlete despite difficult conditions: she has mentioned that South Korean training facilities aren't great for figure skaters, and she has had to battle these harsh circumstances all her life. Her net worth is an estimated $21 million, and her endorsements are far and wide, from Hyundai to Samsung and Nike. Yet she is a generous soul too and has donated millions of her fortune to charity.
NATALIE COUGHLIN - SWIMMING - NET WORTH: $2 MILLION
Natalie Coughlin is one of the most successful female American swimmers. She made history by being the first woman ever to complete a 100 m backstroke in less than a minute. Coughlin has won many awards and competed in three Olympic Games. The swimmer also appeared in Dancing With The Stars, has written a book and competed in Chopped. Her endorsements include Pantene, Speedo, and BMW, and she was also a spokesperson for coconut water. The athlete is worth around $2 million, stating that she is rich enough to afford nice meals, but not at the level of buying a private jet.
Skylar Diggins - Basketball - Net Worth: $400,000
Skylar Diggins started playing basketball in high school and got recognition even back then. She excelled in college basketball and made sure to snatch a degree from the Mendoza School of Business in the University of Notre Dame before she moved on to professional basketball in the WNBA. A deal with the management company Roc Nation Sports, and endorsements from Nike and Bodyarmor, a sports drink company, have made Skylar a tidy profit making her to easily accumulate a net worth of $400 thousand. Her May 2017 wedding means this beauty is off the dating game.
Coming Up, An Athlete That Will Make You A Javelin Fan
Leryn Franco - Javelin Throw - Net Worth: $5 Million
Let's be honest, javelin is not a very popular sport but Leryn Franco, a javelin thrower from Paraguay is here to show us the error of our ways. The world took notice of her in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Her performance was not exactly stellar, but the crowds were smitten by how beautiful she was. A photoshoot as a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated magazine made her famous- and definitely added to her salary- and more career paths opened up for her. She has worked as a model, she has acted in films, competed in beauty pageants and appeared on TV. She even released a personal calendar in 2007, though it is a bit too steamy for us to show!
Still Not A Soccer Fan? The Next Athlete Will Turn You Around
Jonelle Filigno - Soccer - Net Worth: $1 Million
A soccer player from Canada, Jonelle Filigno has been playing since she was four years old. A graduate of Rutgers University, she joined a pro team in 2014. A talented player who helped the Canadian national team get a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics, she nevertheless retired as an international football player in 2017. By then, her skill and beauty had ensured endorsement deals with Adidas, skincare companies, done commercials and she was included in the video game FIFA 16. Perhaps her 2016 wedding had something to do with her decision to quit. We are not sure what her husband’s earnings are.
Anastasia Ashley - Surfer - Net Worth: $3 Million
Anastasia Ashley won her first surfing competition at the age of 6 and her first national title at 16. She is not just a great surfer, she's also quite adept at using social media to promote her brand and with looks like hers, it's not that hard. She has worked as a model and appeared on TV, in shows like Hell's Kitchen. Prize money, photoshoots, and endorsements have made this young woman a millionaire but she's not content with her already amazing net worth. She has diversified, designing her own line of jewelry called Gypsy Jet Set, in collaboration with the company OK1984. With 1.1 million followers on Instagram, she's got an advertising platform at her feet.
Elena Delle Donne - Basketball - Net Worth: $400,000
Upon seeing Elena Delle Donne, most people would think that as a tall, talented, smart and beautiful woman, her life must have been easy. In fact, she had issues with her height as a child, her sister is deaf, blind and afflicted with cerebral palsy and Elen herself suffers from Lyme disease and has to maintain a healthy and strict diet to keep it in check. Thankfully, as she grew older her fortune changed- and so did her bank account. She attended the University of Delaware and attracted attention as part of their basketball team, which led her to sign up with WNBA's Chicago Sky and then with the Washington Mystics. She has come out as a lesbian and had her wedding to her girlfriend Amanda Clifton in November 2017.
Beatriz Recari - Golf - Net Worth: $2 Million
Though she played golf as an amateur since she was 11, it wasn't until Beatriz Recari began her studies at the University of Navarra that she decided to go pro. She quickly caught the attention of not just golf enthusiasts but mainstream audiences as well, as she could easily pursue a career as a model if she so wished. In fact, she has had offers to appear in magazines like Sports Illustrated, but so far, she has declined them all. It is hard to believe she used to struggle with an eating disorder, but she revealed so in 2011. She has endorsement deals with various companies, most of which are either golf-related like PXG or deal with nutrition, food supplements, and healthy eating and that must definitely show in her bank accounts.
Have You Ever Watched Figure Skating? Click Next To See Why You Really Should
Kiira Korpi - Figure Skater - Net Worth: $1.5 Million
A woman considered by some the most beautiful female competitive skater, Finnish Kiira Korpi has been skating professionally since 2003. As competitive skating is not exactly the most watched sport out there, many have missed her though she has quite a name in her native Finland. The fact that she has appeared on various TV shows over there has helped her fame and in turn, she has gotten a number of sponsorships and endorsements to store in the bank. She decided to quit the competitive part of her career in 2015 and she revealed she had been struggling with anxiety for years caused by the high stakes of the tournaments. If you want to see her live, she still does ice shows.
Anna Sidorova - Curling - $150,000
A lot more people would watch curling events if they knew that Ana Sidorova was competing. This Russian beauty is an 8-time world champion, holds another 8 European championships and has two participations in the Winter Olympics, with a third coming up in 2018. She started out as a figure skater but suffered an accident, which led her to curling. She has done a number of racy photoshoots that could set any man's blood aflame, but that in no way detracts from her excellent skills as an athlete. Sadly, considering the low payouts for curling events, Ana needs to think of a retirement plan or another career on the side as her savings account is by no means huge.
Malia Manuel - Surfer - Net Worth: $250,000
Almost 10 years ago, a princess of the waves won the US Open of Surfing at the age of 14. Since then, Malia Manuel has blossomed into a young woman that has gone from tournament to tournament, gathering wins and sponsors along the way. Though top pro surfers can earn millions from prize money and sponsorships, Malia needs a few more World Championships before she starts making money at such levels. A parallel career as an actress or a model would make sure she had some extra income and give her greater exposure, which would also bring her better endorsement deals.
Maria Kirilenko - Tennis - Net Worth: $12.5 Million
Another beautiful Russian tennis player, Maria Kirilenko started competing as a professional in 2005 and slowly but steadily climbed the rankings. Her looks helped draw attention to her and she was picked to be the face of a tennis range by Adidas. By 2009, she had appeared in Sports Illustrated and had established herself as one of the hottest women in tennis. In 2015, Maria's wedding took place and soon after, the blonde Russian disappeared from the courts. She had her first baby that same year and she gave birth to a second baby in 2017. It seems she will be spending time away from the tennis circuit for a while.
Julia Mancuso - Alpine Skiing - Net Worth: $18 Million
Julia Mancuso had a rocky start as her father was arrested when she was 5 for running a marijuana smuggling business. She took out her frustration training as an alpine skier and it paid off, as she holds 4 Olympic and 5 World Championship medals. She is also a smart promoter of herself and has taken advantage of her looks. Julia has her own line of lingerie and has worked as a lingerie model, has done commercials for VISA, the banking colossus, fitness companies, and GoPro cameras. She has been held back as she had to go through hip surgery but the talented skier plans to go back into action in 2018.
Julia Is Not All Alpine Skiing Has To Boast About, As You're About To Find Out
Tina Maze - Alpine Skiing - Net Worth: $10 Million
The most successful Slovenian skier of all time and one of the sport's best, Tina Maze has two gold and two silver Olympic medals and a collection of medals from various competitions around the world. She wowed audiences in the 2014 Winter Olympics, not only with her skiing but her beautiful features as well. On top of that, she is a graduate of the University of Maribor with a teaching degree and makes music as well. She is the face of a Slovenian jewelry brand and ambassador for Alpina luxury watches, though, with her 2017 decision to retire, she might have to go from very hot skier to very hot teacher!
Ellen Hoog - Field Hockey - Net Worth: $3.5 Million
Ellen Hoog is a field hockey player from the Netherlands, whose beauty is only overshadowed by her achievements on the field. She has led her national team to two gold and one silver Olympic medals and has been world champion twice and European champion 3 times. In 2005, just after her victory in the European Championship, her father passed away, struck by cancer. It was again through hockey that she managed to overcome her grief and move forward. She is a graduate of the University of Amsterdam, but that hasn't stopped her from doing a number of photo shoots, including one for Sports Illustrated. She announced her 2017 wedding on her Instagram account.
Lauren Sesselmann - Soccer - $1 Million
Born in Wisconsin to a Canadian father and an American mother, Lauren Sesselmann played for the soccer team of Purdue University, before going pro and joining F.C. Indiana. After acquiring Canadian citizenship, she joined the Canadian National team and helped win the gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games. But she's more than that. Lauren has her own fitness company, FitAsAPro and has worked as a model, putting her amazing body and good looks to work. She is also planning to design clothes and work-out accessories. One last note, she is single, so if you live in L.A., keep your eyes open.
Sierra Blair Coyle - Rock Climber - Net Worth: $150,000
Sierra Blair Coyle is a 23-year-old from Arizona that is as much of a model as she is an athlete. She graduated from Arizona State University with a marketing degree and has taken full advantage of what she learned, branding herself brilliantly to become one of the most recognizable female climbers. Her sponsors include anything from lawyers to climbing gear companies and healthy eating supplements and her Instagram account is peppered with product placement and shout-outs. And we totally understand it as her combination of beauty, a dazzling smile and upbeat personality make her every advertiser's dream!
Tiger Woods' Girlfriends Are Not The Only Beautiful Women In Golf And Here's Proof Up Next
Blair O’Neal - Golf - Net Worth: $600,000
Blaire O'Neal would have been a fool if she had remained a simple golfer. If women with half her beauty go into modeling, why not her? Her game was good enough to get her a scholarship to the Arizona State University and then go pro. Still, it was financial reasons that made her become a model and when she got the opportunity to go back into golf, she grabbed it with both hands. She still plays but most of her time is dedicated to the Golf Channel, her engagements as an ambassador for Cobra-Puma and the runway. The fact that a woman so hot had to face bankruptcy before considering modeling shocked us.
Camille Leblanc Bazinet - Cross-Fit & Weight-Lifting - Net Worth: $600,000
If we only had her picture to go with, we'd peg Camille Leblanc-Bazinet as a personal trainer or a fitness model. While she certainly could be any of those things, she is studying at the Universite de Sherbrooke, in Canada, as a chemical engineer. She is also a professional CrossFit athlete, having won many regional games and the women's 2014 CrossFit Games. But her talents don't stop there, as she is also a weight-lifter, has appeared on magazine covers, has endorsement deals with fitness brands and food supplement companies and found enough time to have a wedding! It's almost unfair that she can combine such fitness with her good looks!
Alex Morgan - Soccer - Net Worth: $3 Million
Alex Morgan showed her potential even before joining the University of California, Berkeley soccer team, called at 17 to the US under-20s national team. At 28, she has Olympic medals, a FIFA Women's World Cup and numerous awards for her contributions to the sport. She is also one of the hottest soccer players, with many photoshoots for Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Vogue and others. Alex is also one of the best paid female soccer players, with endorsement deals with brands like Nike, the Bank of America, Coca-Cola and Panasonic and has appeared in ads like the one for the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. Even if Alex never kicks a ball again, a career as a model is certainly open to her.
Coming Up, She Is So Beautiful That It Feels Like A Shame To See Her Fighting
Paige VanZant - UFC - Net Worth: $370,000
At first sight, we wouldn't peg Paige VanZant as a UFC fighter, but rather a fitness model or a personal trainer. But Paige is a fighter and a very aggressive one at that too. She is unquestionably beautiful too so the combination of aggression and good looks has given her quite a bit of media attention. Her appearances on Dancing With The Stars and Chopped gave her even more exposure, though some of her fellow martial artists seem to be jealous of the attention she's getting. After posting a cheeky video promoting Reebok, one of her sponsors, many in the UFC community attacked her for it but others said her critics were just jealous of her appeal.
SIMONE BILES - GYMNAST - NET WORTH: $2.5 MILLION
Simone Biles started training as a gymnast at the age of 6. Her parents were never around, as they suffered from drug and alcohol abuse. Instead, her grandparents raised her and did a great job at it too. Biles was admitted to UCLA, but deferred her enrolment to take part in the Summer Olympics in 2016. She has won the all-around championship three consecutive times and holds 10 gold medals. The young woman has a net worth about $2.5 million from her many wins and endorsements. She is officially the most rewarded female gymnast of all time.
Hope Solo - Soccer - Net Worth: $2.5 Million
Hope Solo is a soccer goalkeeper with an illustrious career but her personal life has frequently overshadowed her success in the field. A brilliant athlete, she attended the University of Washington and was part of their soccer team, then moved on to be a professional soccer player. She even won Olympic medals with the US national team. At the same time, she has been embroiled in various scandals. Her wedding to Jerramy Stevens happened one day after his arrest for allegedly assaulting her. She was one of the victims of a revealing celebrity photos leak, was shunned by her team for making disparaging comments against her coach and has one arrest for assault herself.
Allison Stokke - Pole Vaulter - Net Worth: $100,000
Pole vaulter Allison Stokke became massively famous way back in 2007 when pictures of the-then 17-year-old athlete broke the internet. Sudden fame and the attention she got from men made the girl quite uncomfortable and her father, a lawyer, even sought ways to take legal action. She attended the University of California, Berkeley and got a degree in sociology, breaking pole vaulting records at the same time. Her performance has not been stellar since, but she has built a very successful career as a fitness model and has been a very popular ambassador for the GoPro camera equipment company.
Jessica Ennis-Hill - Track & Field - Net Worth: $2.7 Million
At the age of 31, track athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill has achieved more than most people achieve in a lifetime. She holds an Olympic gold medal, 4 world championships, and a European champion. Also, this stunning woman is a mother of two, which could have influenced her 2016 retirement from the world of sport. Before all that though, her achievements and her good looks made her a sought-after personality for ads. She's been featured in commercials for the insurance company Aviva, Omega watches, Olay Essentials skin care, and the Santander UK bank.
Up Next, Italy Makes A Move For The Hottest Tennis Player
Camila Giorgi - Tennis - Net Worth: $1.6 Million
Camila Giorgi is a combination of cultures and nationalities that have produced a gorgeous and passionate woman. A professional tennis player with the Instagram account of a fashion model, Camila rose quickly through the tennis rankings due to her skill and aggressive game. Her mother, a fashion designer, makes new dresses for each of her matches, keeping Camila's image perfect. At least, as far as beauty is concerned because controversy has been following her for years. She and her father have been accused of ripping off investors that believed in her skill and put money on her. Naturally, they deny everything and it is really hard staying mad at such a pretty woman.
Ronda Rousey - UFC - Net Worth: $12 Million
Perhaps the most famous female MMA fighter, Ronda Rousey has crossed over into mainstream awareness. An Olympic medalist in judo, Ronda went into MMA and her striking looks and string of victories helped attract attention to the women's UFC. She is also one of the highest-paid female UFC fighters and as her fame increases she ha been making money hand over fist. Like Gina Carano, she jumped into movies like The Expendables and Entourage, that allowed her to showcase both her fighting skills and her feminine side. In 2017, she tied the knot with another UFC fighter, Travis Browne.
Hilary Knight - Hockey - Net Worth: $500,000
Hillary Knight combines characteristics invaluable to ice hockey, as she is tall, fit and strong. She is also very pretty, which although useless to the sport, is a great bonus for Hillary's fans. Earning distinction while on the ice hockey team of the University of Wisconsin, she then went on to play in the CWHL for the Boston Pride. She has also won 7 world championships and earned two Olympic silver medals as part of the US national team. Besides all that, the ice-melting brunette has drawn attention, especially following a revealing photo shoot for ESPN Magazine that caused many heart attacks among ice hockey fans!
Ali Krieger - Soccer - Net Worth: $3 Million
Ali Krieger has said it was her brother who introduced her to soccer and his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction taught her to never give up. As a student at Penn State University, she joined the women's soccer team and after graduation joined professional soccer. She has played for clubs across the US and even in Europe, as well as for the American national team. Currently part of the lineup of the Orlando Pride along with former Washington Spirit player Ashley Harris, Ali has been the center of speculation concerning her relationship with Ashley, though none of them have confirmed anything.
See Next Why Russia Is Considered The King When It Comes To Hot Athletes
Maria Sharapova - Tennis - Net Worth: $125 Million
Consistently voted one of the hottest female athletes and usually also topping the list of best-paid female athletes, Maria Sharapova is one dream of a woman. Even if you know nothing about tennis and do not care about her many victories in tournaments, her beauty and style have made her an internationally recognizable brand. Endorsement deals and commercials for cell phone company Motorola, luxury watch manufacturer Tag Heuer, jewelry maker Tiffany, Nike, Fred Perry, Gatorade, shoes, handbags, the list goes on. Maria, aged just 30 has a net worth of $125 million, most of which comes from her sponsors. The beautiful blonde is single and considered one of the most eligible bachelorettes.
Sydney Leroux - Soccer - Net Worth: $3 Million
Although she was born in Canada, Sydney Leroux ended up playing college soccer for UCLA before returning to Canada to join the W-League. In 2008, she switched from the Canadian national team to the US one and has continued representing America since then. A series of magazine covers highlighted her good looks, though Sydney has not taken advantage of her appearance as much as she could have. In 2015, she got married to Dom Dwyer and had their first baby in 2016. The tough lady has recovered and is ready to score some goals once more.
Paige Spiranac - Golf - Net Worth: $1 Million
24-year-old Paige Spiranac became an instant internet sensation when pictures from her Instagram account where shared on a popular raunchy comedy site. She attracted so much attention that she was given a chance to prove her worth as a golfer at a time when her dream of competing on the LPGA. Hotter than many a model, Paige's story reads like the ugly duckling, with a childhood marred by asthma, injuries, and bullying. She faced the same as many pro golfers did not like her provocative clothes, thinking it demeaned the sport. We, on the other hand, support Paige's decision and wish her to find the success she dreams of, in any clothes she wants.
Caroline Wozniacki - Tennis - Net Worth: $12 Million
It is as if tennis just attracts a higher percentage of beautiful women than other sports. Caroline Wozniacki is another top-tier tennis player that looks good enough to double as a model. She comes from Denmark and has won tournaments all over the world, though her career has had its ups and downs. Still, she is likable and pretty, a combination that has never failed to provide business deals. She has contracts with Adidas, Sony, Babolat, and others, with her earnings in 2014 being close to $11 million! She got engaged in November 2017, to the former NBA player David Lee.
Antonija Misura - Basketball - $150,000
Like other athletes on the list, Antonija Misura deserves respect as an athlete, but the attention she has received is less about basketball and more about how good the 29-year-old looks. It is true that she could abandon her sporting career and join a modeling agency but that seems to be the last thing on Antonija's mind. In fact, the tall blonde has focused on her sport and her academic education as a student of tourism management at her native Croatia. Still, if someone had shown us a picture of Antonija and told us she was a lingerie model, we would have believed it.
Natalie Gulbis - Golf - Net Worth: $4 Million
Natalie Gulbis made a strong entrance into the world of professional golf after dropping out of the University of Arizona in 2001. Her stunning looks and her willingness to put her beauty forward gathered a lot of attention, especially after she released a steamy calendar featuring both golfing poses and other ones, wearing skimpy swimsuits. Winning tournaments and endorsement deals gave her a 7-digit bank account and in 2013, she joined her future with Josh Rodarmel, a businessman, and former Yale University quarterback.
