Sania !

We all know Sania, don't we? Yeah, the tennis girl. But do we know how much she earns out of the court.. Well, read on and don't blame me if you are surprised.

Sania makes 2.6 million rupees a year in off-court earnings and has contracts with companies such as Hindustan Petroleum Corp, India's second-biggest state-owned refiner, and Tata Tea Ltd, the world's number two tea company.

The best part, she trails Sachin Tendulkar, who earns at least $5 million a year (as against her $60,000) from sponsors, her unbeatable talent, grit and inimitable style has made tennis the second most popular sport after cricket, in India.
