I was just reading an article on the highest paid female athletes. 9 out of the top 10 were either in tennis or golf (the other being a race car driver). The highest paid female athlete is Maria Sharapova; barely of legal age, her annual salary comes in around $25 million (very impressive considering Kobe Bryant, the NBA's elite, only makes ~$35 million with endorsements). But I guess you can't go wrong with Sharapova; she's a top 5 player and actually wins Grand Slams - then add on her smashing body, good looks, good girl persona and you have yourself a perfect spokesperson for your product (unlike the win less and slutty Anna Kournikova). On the men's side you have baby faced Tiger Woods, who brings in a whopping $100 million a year...
Note to self: if I ever have a daughter make sure to sign her up for tennis and golf; I can be the father/coach and retire early...
