Britannica
In case you didn’t know, Billy Jean King is one of the most influential female athletes of the 20th century. Believe it or not, it is thanks to her advocacy efforts that women’s tennis and female tennis players are worth the cash they are today. You see, King managed to win the infamous “Battle of Sexes” match against male tennis legend Bobby Riggs, back in 1973.
Throughout her professional career, King won an impressive 39 major tournaments between the 1960s and the 1970s. That, of course, includes singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. While she’s been retired for quite a while, King’s still worth a whopping $20 million. Hey, that makes sense, considering how important she is to the sport!
