🎾 Roger Federer Joins Elite Billionaire Athlete Club
Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer has officially entered the ranks of billionaire athletes, becoming only the eighth sports star to surpass the $1 billion mark in net worth. According to Forbes, Federer's estimated fortune now stands at $1.1 billion, placing him in the same rarefied financial league as Cristiano Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, and LeBron James.
While Federer earned nearly $131 million in prize money over his 24-year career, the bulk of his wealth stems from lucrative endorsements and strategic investments. His long-standing partnerships with brands like Rolex, Uniqlo, and Mercedes-Benz, along with a minority stake in Swiss sportswear company On—valued at over $375 million—have propelled him into the three-comma club.
Federer is now the second tennis player to achieve billionaire status, following Romanian businessman and former player Ion Èširiac. His financial ascent underscores a legacy that extends far beyond the court, cementing his status as both a sporting legend and a savvy entrepreneur.
