Fabrice Santoro tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players

In 2022 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 11) that Santoro is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The French tennis player has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Santoro Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Tahiti Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersantoro - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Fabrice) and a fashion line called “Fabrice Santoro Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Fabrice fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
