Tennis legend Roger Federer has officially become only the second tennis player in history to reach billionaire status, further cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s most successful figures both on and off the court.

Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, built his fortune not only through prize money but also through lucrative endorsement deals and business ventures. Over the years, the Swiss icon has partnered with major global brands such as Rolex, Uniqlo, and Wilson.

A significant portion of his wealth also comes from his investment in On, the fast-growing athletic shoe brand that has expanded rapidly in global markets.

Federer now joins Ion Tiriac, the former tennis professional turned businessman, as the only individuals from tennis to achieve billionaire status.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, Federer retired from professional tennis in 2022 after an illustrious career that included multiple titles at tournaments such as Wimbledon Championships and the US Open.

His billionaire milestone highlights how elite athletes are increasingly transforming sporting success into long-term global business empires.
