Serena Williams and Roger Federer are the highest-paid female and male tennis players of all time — though there's a more than $31 million difference in their total career earnings.

This week, both players will compete at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. Williams is returning to the Women's Tennis Association Tour for the first time since the 2017 Australian Open, which she won while pregnant. Williams took the rest of the year off to give birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

The men's and women's singles champions at the BNP Paribas Open will each be awarded $1,340,860. A $1 million bonus will go to any player who clinches both the singles and doubles titles, a feat accomplished only six times in tournament history.

That's a nice payday in and of itself, but most of the high-ranking players are also locked into endorsements with top sports and luxury brands, banking multiple times their on-court earnings in any given year.

Below, we take a look at the 30 highest-paid tennis players of all time, based on on-the-court winnings. While the list is skewed towards recent players, it's a mix of both men and women, as well as current players and all-time greats.

Data is from the ATP and WTA tours. Doubles and and mixed-doubles earnings are included in the career winnings, but are not included in the number of titles won.
