Every year, Forbes releases their "Word's Highest-Paid Athletes List"where fans can dream about millions of dollars and wish that in their next life they're coming back as a professional athlete. From prize money to sponsorships and endorsements, the total includes everything that makes the athlete money.

Tennis players don't always make the elite list, but 2019 has seen a higher-than-normal amount of stars making tons of cash.

Roger Federer (No. 5) made the Top 10, and others who snuck into the Top 100 were Novak Djokovic (No. 17), Kei Nishikori (No. 35), and Rafael Nadal (No. 37). The lowest tennis player on the list, and the only WTA star, is Serena Williams at No. 63.

Williams recently became the first athlete named to Forbes list for Richest Self-Made Women.
