Naomi Osaka’s Net Worth in 2022 (estimate): $45 million

Naomi Osaka’s net worth in 2022 is valued at $45 million. This is agreed upon by multiple reputable sources such as Celebrity Net Worth.

Let us dig deep into the young tennis journey to become one of the greatest players to ever play the sport.

Naomi Osaka was born on October 16, 1997, in Chūō-ku, Osaka. His father, Leonard François, is from Jacmel, Haiti, while her mother, Tamaki Osaka, is from Nemuro, Hokkaido, Japan. She also has an older sister, Mari, who was also a professional tennis player. Her parents met when her father visited Hokkaido while he was a college student in New York.

When Naomi was three years old, their family moved to Elmont, New York, to live with her father’s parents. Her father was inspired to teach her daughters how to play tennis after watching the Williams sisters play at the 1999 French Open.

Despite never playing the sport, Naomi’s father drew inspiration from Richard Williams, Serena and Venus’ father, on how he trained his daughters to become two of the best players in the world without having any experience in playing tennis.

In 2006, their family moved to Florida where they could get better training opportunities. Naomi practiced on the Pembroke Pines public courts in the daytime and was homeschooled at night. By the time she was 15 years old, Osaka trained with Patrick Tauma at the ISP Academy. In 2014, she joined the Harold Solomon Tennis Academy and she later trained at the ProWorld Tennis Academy.

Despite being raised in the United States, Naomi Osaka’s parents decided that their daughters would represent Japan, citing that they were born and raised in a household practicing Haitian and Japanese culture. Another factor is the lack of interest by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) when she was still starting out.

Naomi Osaka never competed in the premier international junior tour, the ITF Junior Circuit, as she directly played in the ITF Women’s Circuit where she played her first qualifying match in October 2011, her 14th birthday.

She turned professional just before turning 16 years old, in September 2013. She competed in her first two qualifying draws in the WTA tour in the same month, the Challenge Ball in Quebec and the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo — the latter being her first time to compete professionally in her home country.

In her tour debut, Naomi Osaka upset world No. 19 Samantha Stosur in a heavily-contested match-up. At that time, she was just 16 years and ranked No. 406. She also won a match at the Japan Open which helped her climb up the rankings to finish at the top 250 by the end of the season.

In 2016, Osaka advanced to the third round of the Australian Open after upsetting world No. 21 Elina Svitolina in the second round before losing to No. 16 Victoria Azarenka in the next round. Back in the US, she won two matches in the Miami Open — including a win over No. 18 Sara Errani — which helped her progress into the top 100 of the WTA rankings for the first time.

In the Pan Pacific Open, she upset No. 12 Dominika Cibulkova and No. 20 Elina Svitolina to advance to her first WTA final at the age of 18. Unfortunately, she finished as a runner-up to Caroline Wozniacki. Despite that, she entered the top 50 of the WTA rankings and was awarded the WTA Newcomer of the Year.

After a lackluster 2017 season, Naomi Osaka hired Sascha Bajin to be her coach in the offseason. At the 2018 Australian Open, she reached the fourth round of the tournament after defeating two top 20 players in Elena Vesnina and Ashleigh Barty. Unfortunately, she lost to world No. 1 Simona Halep.

Naomi Osaka won her first title after defeating fellow up-and-coming player Daria Kasatkina in the Indian Wells Open final, making her the youngest champion of the tournament in 10 years. Her second title came in the US Open after she defeated tennis great Serena Williams in the final. However, their match was notorious as Williams had an on-court dispute against the umpire which drew boos from the crowd.

Nevertheless, Naomi Osaka became the first Japanese Grand Slam singles champion.

Osaka entered the 2019 Australian Open ranked fourth. She then made it to the final against Petra Kvitova where she won to become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2015 to win consecutive Grand Slam titles. She also became the 1^st Asian player to be ranked No. 1 in the world in singles.

In 2020, Naomi Osaka only played in four tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that, she won her 2^nd US Open title after defeating Victoria Azarenka in the final. Unfortunately, she opted to skip the French Open and end her season early due to a hamstring injury.

In the 2021 Australian Open, she defeated Serena Williams in the semifinals and Jennifer Brady in the final to win her 2^nd Australian Open title. She joined the likes of Roger Federer and Monica Seles as the only players in the Open Era to win their first four Grand Slam finals.

During the French Open, she announced that she would not partake in her mandatory media assignments. After her first win, she skipped the press conference and was fined $15,000. The following day, she announced her withdrawal from the tournament due to mental health issues.

She then skipped Wimbledon but played in the Cincinnati Open and US Open where she both lost in the third round of the tournaments. In the press conference, she announced that she would be taking a break from the sport, claiming that winning does not make her feel happy anymore.

Naomi Osaka competed for Japan in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She is also the first tennis player to light the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony.
