The player with the most prize money.

There were 3,850,000 US dollars for the winner of the US Open in 2019. The prize money that tennis players can earn during a season is strapped to lofty heights. It is therefore not surprising that a list of the 20 players with the most prize money only contains top earners. This list also shows that the prize money has made a massive leap in recent years.
