Inside Roger Federer's $1.1 Billion Empire
Estimated Net Worth: $1.1 Billion. The Swiss maestro's peerless grace on court translated into unprecedented commercial dominance off court.
Over his storied 24-year professional career, Federer amassed $131 million in ATP official tournament prize money, the third-highest total in tennis history. However, his prize money accounts for barely 10% of his total earnings.
In 2018, Federer made one of the boldest bets in sports business history by leaving Nike to sign a 10-year, $300 million apparel contract with Japanese retailer Uniqlo—a deal that did not even include footwear rights.
Federer used that freedom to invest as a co-entrepreneur in Swiss running shoe company On (On Holding AG) in 2019, securing an estimated 3% equity stake. When On completed its blockbuster New York IPO, Federer's stake soared into the hundreds of millions.
