Naomi Osaka was named by Forbes as the highest-paid female athlete in 2019. According to the popular magazine, Naomi earned as much as $37.4 million last year. That means that she broke the previous record held by the legendary Maria Sharapova of $29.7 million earned in 2015.
It seems more and more plausible that Naomi will keep on breaking her personal record for many reasons. Besides inflation, Naomi can count on the fact that she keeps on winning. Soon after the tours’ resumption, the Japanese sensation reached the final of the Western and Southern Open, pocketing $243,920. In the following 2 weeks, Naomi got an extremely fat paycheck of $3,000,000 after conquering the US Open.
Helping the children in Haiti
Naomi is still a bit far from having 1 billion. However, during an interview with Teen Vogue, Naomi was asked what she would have that enormous sum to spend.
The Japanese sensation replied:
“First thing I’d do if I had a billion dollars – probably help my dad build his school in Haiti. He’s like really into it and they are building tennis courts and stuff. So and I just think it’s cute when we see all the pictures of the kids playing tennis
