Roger Federer's Salary

$70 Million Per Year

Roger Federer was born in Basel, Switzerland, on August 8, 1981. Today, he is renowned as one of the world’s greatest athletes, being a professional tennis player holding the record of eight Wimbledon titles. He was also the first player to win 20 Grand slam men’s tennis singles titles. 

As one of the brightest tennis stars, it is no surprise that he would be recognized as one of the highest-paid athletes. He has consistently landed in Forbes’ top 10 list and is currently ranked seventh, with $190 million in total earnings. In one year alone, from June 2020 to June 2021, the Swiss professional tennis player reportedly brought in a whopping $106.3 million. 

What is Roger Federer Net Worth?

As of 2022, Roger Federer’s net worth is estimated at $550 million. This is primarily thanks to his career earnings from ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) and winnings from significant tournament prize money, but also his many high-profile endorsement deals and investments.

Among his many prestigious endorsement deals include global brand names such as Rolex, Mercedes Benz, Credit Suisse, Barilla, Wilson Sporting Goods, Moët & Chandon, Rimowa, Sunrise Communications Ag, and Louis Vuitton. 

As one of the greatest and the second wealthiest tennis players in history (only next to Novak Djokovic), and with numerous grand slam wins under his belt, it’s also no surprise that Roger Federer would be a much-sought-after keynote speaker. The Swiss professional tennis player reportedly fetches anywhere from $500,000 to $750,000 per speaking engagement. 

Investments

Roger Federer was a Nike endorsement for a good, long 20 years. That is until Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo came into the picture in 2018 and offered him a 10-year deal. This new partnership reportedly earned him a cool $300 million. Today, the RF logo sits with Uniqlo hats and caps, which often fly off the shelves, thanks to his millions of adoring fans.

Then, in 2019, he made news again when he was revealed to have invested in On AG, a Swiss high-end sneakers brand. The following year, its IPO went public and had a warm welcome when the New York Stock Exchange opened trading that day. It remains unknown to this day how much he actually invested in the “cloud soles” footwear brand, but he has since released his own footwear line with them, called “The Roger.” So far, the Grand Slam winner has launched a couple of his own collections from this line, such as “The Roger Centre Court JP All-White Sneakers” and “The Roger Pro.”

As one of the most prominent Swiss athletes in the world, Federer is rightfully recognized as a Swiss star and has also been tapped to promote Switzerland tourism. He features in the latest tourism campaign, giving the audience insights into all the breathtaking views, culture, and adventures one could take while in Switzerland. 

Foundations and Charities

The Roger Federer Foundation, founded by Roger Federer himself, was launched to help provide education for children in Africa. Since its establishment in 2003, the foundation has already raised over $50 million and has successfully set up programs to help educate 1.5 million children. Apart from his own foundation, Roger Federer also keeps himself busy with several other charity foundations, such as the following: Small Steps Project, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Mines Advisory Group.


Career Achievements

All of this wealth did not come out of anywhere from Roger Federer. Before attracting these multi-million dollar global brands, he had to establish a name for himself in the highly competitive sport. Many set out to become one of the world’s most prominent tennis players, but only a handful, an elite few, truly ever make it. Roger Federer is one of them, and the public brand that he cultivated, along with his professional tennis talents, is what allowed him to achieve all that he has today. 

At 14 years old, he played his first ever junior match at a grade 2 tournament in Switzerland. By 1998, he was already playing as a junior player at Wimbledon, where he played and won the boys’ singles and the doubles matches. In 2001, 19-year-old Roger Federer came face to face with another great tennis player Pete Sampras, four-time defending champion and all-time Grand Slam title leader at the time. The following year, he competed against Andre Agassi at the 2002 Miami Masters event.

Federer won his first Wimbledon in 2003, kicking off his streak of Wimbledon wins, leading to his several Grand Slam titles. From there, he was unstoppable. He would go on to win Wimbledon in the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2017, making him one of the greatest in tennis history. 

Injuries

Throughout his decades of playing tennis, injuries have become inevitable for a professional athlete like Roger Federer. He’s had three major surgeries thus far, the most recent being conducted last year on his knee injury. He hopes to make a comeback and play once more by Fall 2022. At the same time, however, questions about his retirement plans are becoming more constant and aggressive. 

One thing’s for sure, though, whatever Roger Federer may decide on regarding his future in tennis, he’s already set for life with the net worth that he currently has. And with all the other personal projects and businesses he’s involved in, retiring from the sport having accomplished as much as he already has, at a time when his health should take priority, doesn’t seem too bad at all.

Fun Fact

Did you know that tennis ace Roger Federer is part of the exclusive billion-dollar athlete club? This refers to the highest-paid sports superstars who have earned a billion dollars in their careers. Other members of this elite club include no less than other great athletes, such as Michael JordanLebron James, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lionel Messi, Michael Schumacher, Floyd Mayweather, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

What makes his induction into this very exclusive club even more impressive is that even though he was not able to compete in last year’s Wimbledon at all and thus unable to earn any prize money, he still raked in $90 million in off-court endorsements.
