Naomi Osaka becomes the highest-paid female athlete in a single year - EVER.⁣ ⁣ In the past year, Osaka has earned $37.4 million from prize money and endorsements, which tops the previous record held by Maria Sharapova ($29.7 million in 2015).⁣ ⁣ What we love about Osaka’s business prowess isn't just her 15 endorsements - it's her interest in joining young brands and growing alongside them. She's received equity stakes in both @drinkbodyarmor and @hyperice.⁣ ⁣ At just 22 years old, it will be fascinating to watch the growth of Osaka's career both on and off the court. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #sportsbiz #sportssponsorship #femaleathlete #smsports
