Serena Williams overtakes Sampras as the most paid American player

Winning again in Charleston has been another milestone for Serena that has achieved a mind blowing $43,304,272 career prize money. This does not include the earnings from sponsors, exhibitions etc… otherwise the overall figure goes to the moon.

This is the overall ranking

1. Serena Williams: $43,304,272
2. Sampras: $43,280,489
3. Agassi: $31,mil
4. Venus Williams: $28,mil
5. Davenport: $22mil

These figures are not inflation adjusted, but still… Serena’s record is remarkable!

Good stuff!
