Stanislas Wawrinka 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 Thursday (November 21) that Wawrinka is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 Wawrinka Burger” chain) in Berne, a Football Team (the “Lausanne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwawrinka - Switzerland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Stanislas) and a fashion line called “Stanislas Wawrinka Seduction”.

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