1. Aryna Sabalenka- $7,984,145

You might be thinking which player was the one who would have beaten World number 1 Iga Swiatek in terms of money and it is none other than the Belarusian star herself in Aryna Sabalenka. Though she has not been as active during the season where she has suffered with some injuries during the season, World Number 3 still went on to win some big titles. Though Sabalenka won only 3 titles this season, we must not forget that she won two Grand Slam titles as well which was enough to bring her prize money close to $8,000,000 and right now the player with the most prize money this season so far.
