"Not the SOB house meaning standing on business 💀 they came in second so they indeed did not stand on business😂 @codeygauff @jaded_ace," Coco Gauff teased her brother.

Coco Gauff earned her first WTA singles title at the Linz Open in 2019. She has won 14 WTA titles so far, including six in singles and eight in doubles. She also reached the final of the 2022 French Open and won the 2023 US Open singles.

For two decades, the crown of the highest-paid female athlete belonged to one of the three tennis players; Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka. While Williams retired last year, Sharapova hung up her racket in 2020. Osaka, meanwhile, was away from tennis for more than a year due to the birth of her daughter Shai and put many of her lucrative deals on hold.

Coco Gauff, who recently memorialized her mother's birthday, appeared at the top in the list of highest-paid female athletes for the first time in her career. She amassed an estimated $22.7 million from prize money and approvals in 2023.

Tennis is reportedly the most lucrative sport for females in terms of incomes. Tennis players hold nine of the top 15 ranks among the highest-paid female athletes, with soccer, skiing, golf and gymnastics also making the list.
