Jessica Pegula, the US Open Tennis Star and Billionaire Heiress: Bio, Photos

In 2026 alone, her prize money stands at more than $4.2 million, the WTA reported.

In 2025, Forbes named her as the 10th highest-paid female athlete of the year, reporting her annual earnings had reached $12.3 million, including $5.3 million on the court, and $7 million off.

Her sponsors have included major brands such as Adidas, Hyatt Hotels, Yonex, Ready Nutrition, IBM, De Bethune watches, Dyson James Limited, and Gorjana jewelry.

She has been outspoken about the gap between male and female tennis players’ pay, telling the outlet, “We always talk about how it’s equal at Slams, but those are four tournaments a year — it’s not equal at a lot of the other tournaments.”

“I think we need to do better at marketing our game,” she added. “It’s such an international sport, and there are so many different stories, and we reach so many people. But are we really telling those stories the best way we can to the fans?”
