Jimmy Connors 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 Monday (November 4) that Connors is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 American 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 Connors Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “East St. Louis Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderconnors - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jimmy) and a fashion line called “Jimmy Connors Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jimmy fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
