Over three years after retirement, tennis legend Roger Federer continues to make headlines and records as he officially joined an ultra-exclusive club, becoming only the seventh athlete to amass a net worth of $1.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Federer retired in 2022.

The Swiss Maestro earned an impressive $131 million in prize money throughout his decorated career, only behind Novak Djokovic ($189M) and Rafael Nadal ($135M).

However a major chunk of his wealth came from his corporate venture.

His investments in Swiss athletic brand ‘On’ have jumped significantly following the company’s public listing and soaring valuation, which made his 3 percent stake’s worth — $375 million.

King Roger also enjoys a long-list of brand endorsements that includes big names such as Uniqlo, Nike, Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, and Moët & Chandon.

He earns more than $300 million through endorsements.

Beyond endorsements, he’s invested in ventures like NotCo, co-founded Team8, and launched the Laver Cup, solidifying his status as both a business strategist and sporting icon.

Federer now joins an elite list featuring all-time sporting greats, Ion Țiriac (Tennis), Michael Jordan (Basketball), Magic Johnson (Basketball), LeBron James (Basketball), Junior Bridgeman (Junior Bridgeman), and Tiger Woods (Golf) in the list of billionaires.

Currently, Spanish star Carlos Alcarez remains most popular face of the game and also is the highest paid tennis player with an earning of (last 12 months) of $48.3 million, followed by No 1 seed Jannik Sinner with earnings of $47.3 million.
