Serena Williams has surpassed Maria Sharapova to become the world’s highest-paid female athlete, Forbes announced Monday.
Williams, 34, who recently added a major deal with Chase to her list of endorsements, making her earned $28.9 million in prize money and endorsements over the past year.
Sharapova had held the top spot for 11 years, but has seen her earnings fall to $21.9 million–down almost $8 million from last year–due to a doping scandal that was unveiled in March.
The UFC’s Ronda Rousey came in third on the list, while NASCAR driver Danica Patrick sits in fourth.
