Henri Leconte tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players

In 2023 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (July 14) that Leconte is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between June 2024 and June 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 Leconte Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Lillers Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderleconte - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Henri) and a fashion line called “Henri Leconte Seduction”.

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