Henri Leconte tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players
In 2016 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (October 17) that Leconte is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between September 2017 and September 2018, 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.
