Who are the most marketable female athletes in the world?

Simone Biles, the five-time Olympic gold medalist and 14-time world champion gymnast, is the most marketable women athlete in the world, according to a new ranking from SportsPro.

Biles’ personal brand has been growing steadily since she burst onto the scene at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, and she has parlayed her on-field success into a number of high-profile endorsements, most notably with Nike. At just 21 years of age, Biles is already one of the most decorated gymnasts in history, and her star is only going to continue to rise in the coming years.

Other athletes who round out the top five on the list include tennis stars Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, US soccer star Megan Rapinoe, and basketball player Candace Parker.

The list, which is topped by tennis superstar Naomi Osaka, comprises 25 men and 25 women across a variety of sports. The top spot is occupied by tennis superstar Serena Williams, who has been named the world’s most marketable athlete by Forbes magazine.

Other notable female athletes on the list include Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky (6th), US soccer player Alex Morgan (7th).
