Naomi Osaka: Endorsements | Investments | Charity Work

Forthcoming, insightful and eloquent, Naomi Osaka is a living embodiment of diversity. Born in Japan to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother, Naomi has been raised and trained on the US shores since she was three years old. In 2013, she turned pro at just 15 and came to prominence at the age of 16 when she defeated former US Open Champion Samantha Stosur in her WTA Tour debut. At the 2018 US Open, Naomi beat her childhood idol Serena Williams to win her first Grand Slam. Her subsequent win at the 2019 Australian Open made her the first woman since Serena Williams in 2015 to win back-to-back Grand Slam titles. Later, on 28 January 2019, Naomi Osaka became the first Asian player to hold the top rank in the singles circuit. As per Sportico, the 23-year-old has earned a massive US$55 million worth of traditional endorsement, making her the first female athlete to ever earn such a sum in a calendar year.
