Ronda Rousey

The richest mixed martial artist on our list and the female athlete who made more headlines last year than any other is 29-year-old California native, Ronda Rousey. Voted by ESPN as the “Best Female Athlete Ever,” “Rowdy Rousey” was on top of the world as the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion until she lost the belt to Holly Holm in November 2015 bringing her MMA record to an impressive 12 wins and one loss.

Having been featured in just about every media outlet that exists, Rousey recently even hosted Saturday Night Live after making special appearances in The Expendables 3, Furious 7 and Entourage. Though Rousey will have another shot at winning back her title, she’s certainly not struggling with $9 million in the bank and endorsements that continue to pour in making her the wealthiest and hottest MMA fighter in the industry.
