Another great beauty of tennis, Wozniacki held the no. 1 ranking in the world for 67 weeks through the beginning of 2012 and has 20 singles titles to her credit. While she has not yet broken through to win a major, that hasn't stopped her from cashing in; according to Forbes, she was the second-highest paid female athlete in the world for 2011 at a cool $12.5 million.
While it may never replace tennis as her day job, modeling has been another avenue Wozniacki has dabbled in, most recently for her own brand of underwear. With her abilities, looks and checkbook, we'd say life is pretty good for Caroline right now.
