In the world of tennis, Maria Sharapova is a name that needs no introduction. The five-time Grand Slam champion, former world No. 1 and Olympic medalist is known for her fiercely competitive spirit and powerful play on the court. However, since her retirement, fans have seen a different side to their favorite Russian WTA icon. It seems that her success extends far beyond the realms of the tennis court.

Sharapova recently topped the charts in a completely different field – beauty! Known for her beautiful fits on the court and an awesome sense of style, Sharapova launched her beauty brand Supergoop 16 years ago. Supergoop has now surprisingly made it to the top 10 most successful celebrity beauty brands.

Maria Sharapova is certainly going places

In a recent report, Maria Sharapova’s beauty brand Supergoop surpassed the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Gwenneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga and other celebrities. The premium beauty brand started by Sharapova is now surprisingly ahead of SKKN by Kim Kardashian, which stands at number 13 on the list. Kardashian is a close friend of Sharapova’s on-court rival and fellow WTA legend Serena Williams.

Supergoop specializes in sunscreen and skincare products for its consumers, who usually have high ratings and positive reviews for their experience with the products. It is amazing how Supergoop has reached such a level with its net-worth of $700 million. SKKN stands at $1 billion and is not even among the top 10.

The news comes as a pleasant surprise to Sharapova’s fans who love being updated on her success as a businesswoman after she bid goodbye to the court. She launched Supergoop in 2007 aiming to provide high-quality and non-toxic sunscreen products to consumers. Her vision is definitely paying off!
