Sport: Tennis
Age: 30
Most recent notable achievement: Runner-up in 2011 U.S. Open
Earnings: $17,000,000

Why she’s on the list: Though Serena struggled with injuries last year, she managed to make it to the finals of the U.S. Open, a tournament she first won at age 17, in 1999. During her career, she has won 27 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals, among just a few of her on-court achievements.
