Here’s the kicker: according to reports, Rybakina has a “no smiling” clause in some of her endorsement contracts. I’m not making this up. Brands actually pay her extra to keep her face completely blank in commercials. They’ve realized that her stone-cold expression is her superpower. It’s the same face she makes whether she wins Wimbledon or finds a spider in her shower. So yes, in 2026, she’s getting paid a bonus to look like a robot attending a funeral. We stan a queen who monetizes her resting bitch face.
Also, she reportedly has a deal with an airline company. Since she travels the world for tournaments, they let her fly first class for free. The catch? She has to sit next to the emergency exit and look ready to assist. She’s never once made eye contact with a flight attendant. It’s the perfect arrangement.

Prize Money: The Steady Drip of a Broken Faucet
On the court, Rybakina rakes in about $6-8 million a year in prize money by 2026. She’s not the top earner (that annoying person who also wins the French Open in their pajamas), but she’s consistent. She’s won two more 500-level tournaments and made a semi-final at the Australian Open. The woman is a cash-printing machine that runs on water and a slight breeze.
What’s funny is that she doesn’t seem to care about the money. In interviews, when asked about her earnings, she just shrugs and says, “It is good, yes.” The interviewer waits for a punchline. There is none. The silence is the punchline.
