Seven wins, over $4 million in on-course earnings and an appearance in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue -- 2024 was the year of Nelly Korda. And now she's among the highest-paid female athletes in the world, according to Sportico.

Korda, Jeeno Thitikul and Lydia Ko, three of the biggest stars on the LPGA, ranked inside the top 15: Korda (eighth), Thitikul (12th) and Ko (15th).

The world No. 1 made $10 million in endorsements, bringing her total to $14.4 million. Thitikul made $7.1 million on the course and $2 million in endorsements, while Ko took home $3.2 million on the course and $3.5 million in endorsements.

Other names on the list included tennis sensation Coco Gauff (first, $30.4), Olympic gymnast Simone Biles (ninth, ~$11 million) and WNBA star Caitlin Clark (10th, ~$11 million).
