According to Tennis World USA, neither Roger Federer nor Novak Djokovic are the richest tennis players in the world.
With a net worth of up to 6.7 billion USD, Jessica Pegula tops the list of the richest tennis players in 2023. The American female tennis player’s assets are even higher than the total net assets of great tennis players like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal combined.
Pegula’s wealth is mainly due to her parents’ assets. She is the daughter of Terrence Pegula, a billionaire ranked as the 377th richest person in the world. Terrence invests in many sectors such as natural gas, entertainment, real estate and professional sports.
He currently owns Pegula Sports and Entertainment, a company that holds shares in the Buffalo Sabers team in the American professional hockey league (NHL) and the Buffalo Bills playing in the American professional football league (NFL).
Second is Romanian tennis legend Ion Tiriac, with a net worth of about $2 billion. Tiriac’s wealth doesn’t just come from his tennis career. After retiring from professional tennis in the 1970s, he became a coach and successfully managed legendary players such as Guillermo Vilas, Marat Safin and Boris Becker.
As one of the best tennis players in history, Roger Federer ranks third on the list. The net worth of 550 million USD of “Express Train” comes thanks to his illustrious career and many advertising contracts.
Serena Williams, one of the greatest female tennis players of all time, is fourth on the list. Her impressive achievements with 23 Grand Slam titles and many advertising contracts have contributed to raising her total net worth to 250 million USD.
Novak Djokovic entered the top 5 on the list. The Serbian tennis player is currently ranked No. 1 in the world and holds a record of 24 Grand Slam titles. His tennis career and many advertising contracts have brought Nole a net worth of $220 million.
