In 2021 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 27) that Lendl is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between February 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $50 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 American tennis player has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Lendl Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Ostrava Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlendl - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ivan) and a fashion line called “Ivan Lendl Seduction”.

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