Naomi Osaka likes to express her thoughts on Twitter but this time it backfired after the 4-time Grand Slam champion tweeted about finances.

In 2022, Naomi Osaka is the best earning female athlete when she's projected to earn more than $60 million. This is thanks to various endorsements and activities of the former world number 1 as she doesn't earn much in prize money recently.

Recently, Osaka wanted to share her thoughts with fans again when she wrote down: "Sometimes I wish my parents were rich so I don't have to feel like I need to work for everyone's survival."

Especially because of Osaka's net worth and the no. 1 spot as the best-earning female athlete, many thought this tweet was inappropriate, including the tennis reporter Chris Goldsmith who tweeted:

"When Naomi Osaka says work she obviously means Instagram posting. This is a shocker of a tweet..."

But many others joined him: "How are you a multimillionaire & you’re complaining about supporting your parents. People support their families with much less." Another fan joined the discussion, tweeting: "It is a shocker , there a billion women who are in the position, some who earn in a year what she earns in 5mins . It's a privilege to be in a position to able to help others."

After a few hours, Osaka took down the tweet and so one of her most recent tweets remains to be maybe also an answer to fans: "I’m really at peace with myself. I didn’t think I would ever feel like this, it’s kinda fascinating lol."
