Overview

  • Forbes attributes roughly $375 million of Federer's wealth to an estimated 3% stake in Swiss footwear and apparel brand On, which is valued near $15 billion after its NYSE listing.
  • Across 24 seasons he earned about $130 million in prize money, while endorsements and appearances generated close to $1 billion pre-tax during his playing career.
  • Coverage counts him as the second tennis player to reach billionaire status after Ion Țiriac, whose fortune comes largely from post-career investments.
  • Outlets differ on his placement on the all-time list, with reports variously calling him the seventh or eighth athlete to surpass ten figures.
  • Federer’s portfolio extends beyond endorsements with roles in Team8 and the Laver Cup and reported investments such as plant-based food company NotCo.
