Danica Patrick

Arguably the most successful woman in American motorsports, Danica Patrick started racing when she was ten years old and moved onto Formula Ford six years later. She signed her first IndyCar racing contract in 2002 and was named Rookie of the Year in 2005. She is also the first woman to win a big U.S.-sanctioned open-wheel race.

In the world of motorsports, Patrick is a marketing genius and has landed a large number of unbelievably lucrative merchandising and endorsement contracts with big paychecks. She recently got divorced from football star Aaron Rodgers after a two-year marriage and is currently hosting her online podcast titled Pretty Intense.
