Roger Federer 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 Wednesday (January 14) that Federer is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $40 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 Swiss tennis player has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Federer Burger” chain) in Berne, a Football Team (the “Basel Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfederer - Switzerland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Roger) and a fashion line called “Roger Federer Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Roger fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
