Billie Jean King – $20 Million Net Worth

World Tennis Hall of Fame

Like Steffi Graf, Billy Jean King helped pave the way for all the female tennis stars that came after her. Of course, even today, King’s most famous contribution remains her win of the infamous “Battle of Sexes” match against male tennis legend Bobby Riggs, back in 1973. The game later became the basis for the film Battle of the Sexes with Emma Stone and Steve Carrell.

But that’s not all King accomplished! She also won an impressive 39 major tournaments between the 1960s and the 1970s. Thanks to all those wins, despite being retired for some time, she is still worth a whopping $20 million!
