We are celebrating the accomplishments of women all over the world this month. Across the country, many of the female athletes are millionaires, which is not surprising. To find out who exactly is the most successful female sports star in each state, we decided to dig a little deeper. The latest data from OnlineGambling.com maps the stars by Net Worth across the United States.
In order to establish the richest female players in the US, first, they got a list of the female players who have earnt the most money (full sources list below). They then included their place of birth to find out who was the richest from each state. It’s worth mentioning, for those areas where no famous female athletes were born, we stated that there was no data found.
The richest stars from each state in the US range from $250 million to $400K in this list. According to OnlineGambling.com, these are the top female athletes in each state. Who took the number one spot in North Carolina? Scroll down to find out!
Some key findings from the study center around Serena Williams and Caitlyn Jenner. Serena is a renowned professional tennis player born in Michigan and is the richest sportswoman in the United States. She is worth an eye-watering $250 million. Caitlyn Jenner, born in New York is a retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete and is the second richest female sports star with a Net Worth of $100 million.
