Maria Egee became recognizable to tennis fans for a reason that has little to do with celebrity. She is Amanda Anisimova’s older sister—but her own path runs from competitive college tennis to Wall Street and portfolio management.
Who Is Maria Egee?
Maria Egee, formerly Maria Anisimova, is a finance professional and former collegiate tennis player. She is best known publicly as the older sister of American tennis player Amanda Anisimova.
Her professional record is independently documented. Forbes profiled Egee for her work in credit-default-swaps trading, while FINRA records her previous registrations with Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America Securities.
That makes the story more interesting than the usual “famous athlete’s sibling” profile.
From Moscow to the United States
Published reporting places Egee’s childhood in the former Soviet Union. Town & Country reported that she moved with her family to the United States in 1998, when she was about 10 years old.
Tennis was already part of her life. According to the same reporting, Egee began playing in Moscow at age 10 and continued developing her game after moving to America.
Some online biographies publish an exact birth date and other detailed childhood claims. Those details are not consistently supported by authoritative sources, so they should be treated cautiously.
The Tennis Connection Comes First
Before finance, Egee had her own competitive tennis career.
She played for the University of Pennsylvania while studying at the Wharton School. Town & Country reports that she graduated in 2010 with a degree in economics and competed for Penn’s tennis team.
Her tennis career also provides the clearest connection to Amanda.
The WTA has identified Maria Anisimova-Egee as Amanda Anisimova’s sister and reported that Amanda developed an interest in tennis after watching her older sister practice. That places Maria’s influence near the beginning of Amanda’s eventual professional journey.
Wharton and the Move Into Finance
The next reveal is where Egee’s story changes direction.
Rather than pursuing professional tennis, she entered the financial industry after college. Forbes documented her career at Goldman Sachs, where she worked as a vice president before moving to Bank of America.
FINRA’s public BrokerCheck record provides another layer of confirmation. It lists previous registrations with Goldman Sachs from 2010 to 2017, Merrill Lynch from 2017 to 2019, and Bank of America Securities from 2019 to 2024.
The dates make one point clear: her finance career was not a brief detour after tennis. It became her main professional path.
The Forbes Recognition
Egee’s career eventually attracted attention beyond her employers.
Forbes included her in its 30 Under 30 Finance class. Its profile described her work leading Bank of America’s effort to build a credit-default-swaps trading business, initially focused on investment-grade credit.
This is an important distinction. The Forbes recognition was connected to her professional work in finance, not to her relationship with Amanda.
Her public record therefore contains two separate stories: competitive tennis in her younger years and a finance career that followed.
What Is Her Connection to Amanda Anisimova?
This is the part most tennis followers want to understand.
Maria is Amanda Anisimova’s older sister. More significantly, Maria’s own involvement with tennis appears to have helped shape Amanda’s early interest in the sport.
That connection has remained visible as Amanda’s professional career developed. But there is no evidence that Maria herself pursued a professional WTA career comparable to her younger sister’s.
Instead, the sisters followed different professional routes.
Maria went into finance. Amanda went into professional tennis.
What Does Maria Egee Do Now?
More recent reporting identifies Egee with Loop Capital Asset Management, where she has worked as a portfolio manager. Town & Country reported that she began that position in January 2025.
That progression fits the broader career record: university tennis, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and then portfolio management.
Some websites publish precise salary figures, net-worth estimates and extensive private-life details about Egee. There is no reliable public evidence establishing a definitive personal net worth, so those figures should not be presented as fact.
What Remains Unconfirmed?
The public record is surprisingly limited when it comes to Egee’s private life.
Her professional history is much easier to verify than claims about her personal finances, exact residence, social-media accounts or private routines. Even her exact date of birth is inconsistently reported across websites.
That distinction matters.
A public professional record can establish where someone worked and what positions they held. It does not automatically establish every personal detail repeated online.
The Story Behind the Name
Maria Egee’s name appears in tennis coverage because of Amanda Anisimova. But the timeline tells a broader story.
She was already playing tennis before Amanda became a professional. She attended Penn and Wharton. She then moved into institutional finance, eventually earning recognition from Forbes and working across major financial firms.
The mystery, then, is largely resolved.
Maria Egee is not simply a famous tennis player’s sister. She is a former collegiate athlete who built a separate career in finance—and whose early tennis journey became part of the story behind Amanda Anisimova’s own introduction to the sport.
