Steffi Graf tops annual list of highest-paid tennis players
In 2021 it looked like the tennis player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 26) that Graf is the highest-paid tennis player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over her 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 German tennis player has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Graf Burger” chain) in Berlin, a Football Team (the “Mannheim Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergraf - Germany), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Steffi) and a fashion line called “Steffi Graf Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Steffi fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
