BALDWIN: What do Serena Williams, Danica Patrick, Lindsay Vaughn and Maria Sharapova have in common? They're all bad ass women not on the list of the 100 highest-paid athletes in the world. In fact, not a single woman is on that list. Not one. Instead, the men on this list made a record $3.8 billion. That is up 23 percent from the previous year. To be fair, one of the reasons cited, team sports are exploding thanks to TV deals. But when you look at the individual level, I want you to look at these comparisons. Roger Federer, $77 million to Serena Williams' $18 million. Louis Hamilton, $51 million, Danica Patrick, $17 million. And the women's soccer team filed a lawsuit a couple of years ago arguing discrimination over their salaries since their team brings in more money than the men's team. Perhaps, more importantly in this whole conversation, the people who don't make the millions, who are not standing out there on red carpets or on the Forbes list. When asked about the pay variances in Hollywood, Actress Amy Adams said this, quote, "I want to fight for people outside our industry. Let's start with our teachers. Let's get waiters paid minimum wage. That's what's great about what's happening with "Time's Up." We're starting to have bigger conversations than just about what's happening in Hollywood." Let me end with this. Talking about what we make still seems so taboo. I did something recently I had never done before, something that felt a little uncomfortable for me at first. I told a girlfriend, a colleague, how much I make. I told her so that when the time comes for her to negotiate her salary with her boss, that she is armed with not just numbers but knowledge. We need to start speaking up about this. We need to stand up for what we're worth. Continuing on, you're watching CNN. We're at the top of the hour. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thank you for being with me.
