Tennis Legend Roger Federer Joins Elite Billionaire Athletes Club

Roger Federer has become one of the few athletes to join the billionaire club, with an estimated net worth ranging from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion, according to multiple reports. His fortune stems from a highly successful 24-year tennis career, including 20 Grand Slam titles and $130 million in prize money, as well as lucrative endorsement deals with brands such as Uniqlo, Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, and Lindt. A major contributor to his wealth is his minority stake in the Swiss shoe company On, valued at around $500 million, alongside other business ventures and investments including Team8 and luxury brand partnerships. Federer’s off-court earnings have surpassed his prize money, making him the highest-paid tennis player for 16 consecutive years and placing him among elite athletes like LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Despite retiring in 2022, Federer remains influential through exhibitions, endorsements, and philanthropic efforts via the Roger Federer Foundation. His billionaire status highlights both his athletic legacy and his savvy business acumen, solidifying his status as a global sports and cultural icon.
