American players Julie Ertz, Alex Morgan, and Megan Rapinoe have established themselves as some of the richest female football players in the world. According to statistics from Sports Monkie, Alex Morgan ranks fourth on the list of the top 10 richest female players, with a total fortune of $4.6 million. Julie Ertz follows closely behind in fifth place, with a total worth of $4.5 million, while Megan Rapinoe ranks sixth with a total fortune of $3.7 million.

Alex Morgan is the all-time leading scorer for the US women's team, with 121 goals in approximately 206 appearances. Similarly, Megan Rapinoe has participated in three Women's World Cups and is set to compete in her fourth World Cup this year.

The second and third spots on the list are held by two French players, Amandine Henry ($7 million) and Wendie Renard ($7 million), respectively. Brazilian star Marta leads the rankings with $13 million. Additionally, the US women's team features Carli Lloyd, who ranks among the top 10 richest female players in the world with $3.3 million. However, Carli has retired from international football and will not be participating in the 2023 Women's World Cup.
In the upcoming tournament, the US women's team is placed in Group E alongside Vietnam, the Netherlands, and Portugal. While Vietnam is the World Cup debutant, both the US, the Netherlands, and Portugal are considered formidable opponents.
