Italian tennis player Jasmine Paolini’s net worth is estimated at $10-16 million as of August 2026. There is no audited figure, so that is a range built from what can actually be checked: $16,250,509 in career prize money, less tax and touring costs, plus an endorsement book that Forbes valued highly enough to place her among the world’s highest-paid female athletes.
Paolini is 30 and currently ranked World No. 15 in singles and No. 14 in doubles (3 August 2026), having spent 101 consecutive weeks inside the top 10 before that run ended at the 2026 Italian Open. A foot injury has defined her 2026: she lost in the second round at Roland Garros, withdrew from the doubles there as defending champion with Sara Errani, reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals but pulled out of the doubles, and then missed Washington, Toronto and Cincinnati altogether.
Her peak came in 2024. Paolini reached a career-high World No. 4 that year, matching Francesca Schiavone as the highest-ranked Italian woman in singles, on the back of reaching both the French Open and Wimbledon finals and winning Olympic doubles gold in Paris with Sara Errani. She added the Rome WTA 1000 title on home clay in May 2025 — the biggest singles title of her career, and one she could not defend in 2026.

Jasmine Paolini Net Worth
One correction worth making up front, because the figure is repeated all over the web: the widely quoted “$8 million” is not a net worth. Forbes lists Paolini at $8.3 million for its 2025 Highest-Paid Female Athletes ranking — that is her earnings for a single year, prize money plus endorsements, not her accumulated wealth. Forbes does not publish a net worth for her at all.
What can be verified is prize money. Her career total stands at $16,250,509 as of August 2026, most of it earned since her 2024 breakthrough. From that gross figure a professional tennis player loses tax in each country they earn in, plus the cost of a touring team — coach, physio, travel — which for a top-20 player commonly runs 20-30% of gross. That leaves something in the region of $6-9 million retained from prize money.
Endorsements are the larger unknown. Forbes’ $8.3 million earnings figure implies roughly $4-5 million from sponsors in 2025 alone, and her deals — Asics, Yonex, Nestlé and Ferrero among them — were signed or expanded after the 2024 season. Adding a conservative post-tax share of three strong commercial years to the prize-money residue gives a defensible band of $10-16 million. Anyone quoting a precise figure is guessing; anyone still quoting $8 million is quoting a 2025 earnings number as though it were wealth. For the same distinction applied to another player, see our breakdown of Ben Shelton’s gross-versus-net earnings.
Beginning of Tennis Career
Paolini began playing professional tennis in 2011 at the age of 15. In 2015, she participated in the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) tour for the first time. This tournament was the Italian Open, which proved to be a big turning point in her career.
Jasmine prefers playing on hard courts, but she also performed well on clay courts in 2014. She won a $10,000 tournament in Viserba and reached the final of a $25,000 tournament in Telavi (Georgia) as per report.
Renzo Furlan coached Paolini for roughly a decade and took her from outside the top 100 to two Grand Slam finals, before the pair split in 2025. Federico Gaio filled in on an interim basis from July to November that year, and since December 2025 she has been coached by Sara Errani — her long-time doubles partner and Olympic gold-medal-winning teammate, an unusual arrangement in that the two continue to play doubles together while Errani runs her singles coaching.
Endorsement Deals
She has endorsement deals with Asics (since 2015) for apparel and Yonex for racquets, and Forbes also lists Nestlé and Ferrero among her sponsors — the Italian food brands arriving after she became a national figure. These partnerships grew substantially more valuable following her 2024 season of two Grand Slam finals and an Olympic gold, and her 2025 Italian Open win. None of the deal values are disclosed. Her commercial profile is now comparable to that of compatriot Jannik Sinner in reach, if not in scale.
Jasmine Paolini’s growing popularity earned her a spot on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid female athletes of 2024.

Personal Life
Jasmine Paolini’s love for tennis originated from her family. It was her uncle who first took her to the tennis court, where she developed a passion for the sport. Her entire family is involved in tennis—her younger brother William is also a tennis player, and both her father and uncle remain active in the sport.
She loves Italian food, especially Margherita pizza. She has more than 609,000 Instagram followers, though by her own account she posts sparingly and spends more time watching reels than making them. That is a modest social following for an Olympic champion, and it is worth noting when weighing endorsement estimates — brands signing her are buying Italian national profile and on-court credibility rather than social reach, the reverse of the pattern behind figures quoted for players like Alexandra Eala.
Conclusion
Jasmine Paolini’s wealth is best described as an estimated $10-16 million, built almost entirely in a three-year window. Two Grand Slam finals, an Olympic gold and a home title in Rome turned a career journeywoman into one of Italy’s most marketable athletes, and $16.25 million in career prize money reflects that.
The open question is what a foot injury and a fall to No. 15 do to that trajectory. Endorsement deals signed on the back of 2024 do not reprice instantly, so her earnings are likely to hold up better than her ranking in the short term. At 30, with a new coach in Sara Errani and a body that has cost her most of 2026, the next season matters more than the last two.
Updated 13 August 2026 — verified against Forbes’ Highest-Paid Female Athletes profile ($8.3 million in 2025 earnings, sponsor list), WTA and Wikipedia records for ranking, career prize money of $16,250,509 and 2026 results, and reporting on her foot injury and withdrawals. Net worth is an estimate derived from disclosed prize money and reported earnings, not an audited figure.
