Roger Federer’s net worth in 2021

Roger Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player of all time. Tied as the all-time leader in Grand Slam victories at a staggering 20 overall with Rafael Nadal, including a record eight wins at the Wimbledon tournament in London, Federer has seen it all in a career that has spanned over 20 years. Today we're going to look at Roger Federer's net worth in 2021.

Roger Federer's net worth in 2021 (estimate): $450 million

Born in Basel, Switzerland, Federer has been in the public eye ever since he burst onto the scene in 2003 with his first of five consecutive wins at Wimbledon, but the living legend was just getting started — especially when it comes to amassing wealth.

From 2003 to 2009, Federer compiled a staggering 15 of his 20 Grand Slam victories, including the aforementioned five consecutive Wimbledon wins as well as a near-simultaneous five-victory streak at the U.S. Open in New York from 2004 to 2009.

Of course, the tennis world has caught up with Federer somewhat as the sporting genius has hit the age of 39 while dealing with a knee injury, but his regal air on the court and smooth, sinewy brilliance remain unparalleled – even at his advanced age for a professional tennis player.

When it comes to earnings, there are few figures in sports who can compare to Federer’s overall earnings. Though only a small sliver can be attributed to his winnings of nearly $130 million, that mark is still second all-time in tennis history behind only his rival Novak Djokovic. Not bad for second place on that list.

Athletes, actors, entertainers, whoever else have you, they do not only earn their money directly from their professions. Whether it be sponsorships, side-gigs, hustles, a combination of those plus a million other things, depending on the sport, some athletes can make more off the playing field than on it.

When it comes to Roger Federer's net worth in 2021, this actually plays a key role in figuring out just how much the man is worth. Oddly enough, as we'll get to in a minute, there's also the situation where people made more in than career than their net worth suggests, meaning some life stuff got in the way and/or business decisions went sideways.

According to Forbes, Federer topped the list of the publication’s Highest-Paid Athletes in the World in 2020 with a staggering $106.3 million accrued year-over-year. Federer’s spot on the Forbes list marked the first time a tennis player had landed at No. 1. Most of that remuneration comes from endorsements from huge brands such as Rolex, Uniqlo, Credit Suisse, Barilla, Wilson, Gillette and Mercedes-Benz, among others.

Federer dipped to No. 7 on the list in 2021 at $90 million due to his knee injury that he has since returned from, but that's still an incredible amount of money. He's also set to earn a massive payday thanks to his stake in Swiss athletic apparel company On, which is eyeing an IPO in the fall.

As of now, Federer’s net worth clocks in at a lofty $450 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, and his overall career earnings have already eclipsed $900 million.

Per Tennis.com, already agreed-upon sponsorships worth over $200 million saw his overall earnings surpass $1 billion in 2020 – meaning Federer has joined Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather and Tiger Woods as the only three sportsmen ever to reach that elite level of financial success.

Did Roger Federer's net worth in 2021 surprise you? Given the company he's keeping near the very top of athletes who have earned that much loot, it had to shock at least some of you.
