Roger Federer joins the "Billionaire Athlete Club"

According to Forbes, Federer's fortune comes mostly from advertising, investments, and especially shares in the shoe and sportswear brand On, which currently has a market value of nearly 15 billion USD.

During his 24-year career, Federer has won 20 Grand Slams and 103 ATP titles, earning nearly $131 million in prize money. However, his huge income off the court is about $1 billion. This makes him a sports "billionaire".

With his elegant and luxurious style, Federer has become a golden face in the eyes of global brands such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Lindt, Credit Suisse. In 2018, he attracted attention when he left Nike to sign a 10-year contract worth 300 million USD with Uniqlo.

However, Federer's most successful deal was becoming a shareholder and brand ambassador for On. His estimated stake is worth over $375 million, helping the "express train" firmly establish itself on the list of billionaires in the world of sports.

In addition, Federer also co-founded the management company Team8 and the Laver Cup, which brings him a steady income. The former Swiss tennis player also invested in a plant-based food startup, which is currently valued at $1.5 billion.

At the age of 44, having retired since 2022, Federer still maintains great appeal with more than 43 million followers on social networks.

He joined the billionaire athlete club with rare members including LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Phil Mickelson and Floyd Mayweather, all athletes whose total assets have exceeded the $1 billion mark.
