2020 US Open champion Naomi Osaka has been dominating headlines over the past couple of seasons. Her achievements on and off the tennis courts are outstanding. In recent days, she has become the face of French luxury brand, Louis Vuitton. In her recent post on Instagram, she received a comment from pop star Nicki Minaj.
Similar to her idol Serena Williams, Naomi has been growing increasingly popular amongst the well-known names in the world. She is one of the most marketable athletes in the world. In 2019, she made approximately $19 million from various endorsement deals. In the following year, she pocketed $34 million from the brands she endorses. The increase in her earnings gives a clear indication of the rise of the Japanese starlet.
