The highest-paid female athletes scored a record $167 million. See who grabbed the No. 1 spot:

. At the top is tennis ace Naomi Osaka, who hauled in $57.3 million, easily a calendar-year record for a female athlete. Serena Williams takes the runner-up spot with $45.9 million.

The picture is not entirely rosy: Osaka and Williams account for virtually all of the increase, and no other woman on this list has even a remote chance of ranking among the world’s highest-paid athletes of either sex. Moreover, the threshold for the top ten of the women’s list is actually a tad lower than it was a decade ago—$5.7 million, down from $6.1 million inInsiders insist, however, that new money and new sponsors are pouring into women’s sports; it’s just that the dollars are being spread among more athletes and finding their way into new leagues. For the first time in at least a dozen years, a gymnast and a basketball player rank among the highest-paid women.
