I play tennis six days a week. I know for a fact that the five hundredth ranked male tennis pro can beat the top ranked female tennis pro.
At the four Grand Slam events, men have to win best of five sets.
Women only win best of three sets, and yet women get the identical prize money for
less work and far less ability!
So today, I looked up soccer compensation.
Eye-opening.
World’s highest paid soccer players – 2024
Karim Benzema - $100 million / year. ...
Kylian Mbappe - $90 million / year. ...
Lionel Messi - £55 million / year. ...
Riyad Mahrez - £45 million / year. ...
Sadio Mané - £35 million / year. ...
Mohamed Salah - $35 million / year. ...
Kevin De Bruyne - £35 million / year. ...
Harry Kane - £21 million / year.
$1.26 equals a British Pound Sterling at this time
So the top female soccer player earns $525,000 a year
Sam Kerr 417,000 British Pounds
Alex Morgan 375,000
Megan Rapinhoe 373,000
Julia Ertz 359,000
Ada Hegersberg 355,000
Marta 344,000
Amandine Henry 320,540
Wendie Renard 318,510
