Reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic will be heading to SW19 having assembled a whopping fortune throughout his tennis career. The Serb enters the Major as the standalone holder of the most Grand Slam male titles ahead of Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, with a huge net worth coming off the back of his achievements.
Djokovic has an estimated net worth of £188m ($240m) per CelebrityNetWorth, beating Nadal at £172m ($220m) but still trails Federer who is worth £431m ($550m). Though with the Swiss star retired and won’t be stepping onto the Wimbledon court, Djokovic has the highest net worth of any male player at this month’s tournament.
On the women’s side, Jessica Pegula’s net worth is just £7.8m ($10m) but she is in line to inherit her father Terry’s $7.6billion (£5.9bn) fortune as the owner of NFL side Buffalo Bills, NHL outfit Buffalo Sabres and other Buffalo-based sports teams such as the Beauts and the Bandits.
But Djokovic engulfs the rest of the Wimbledon male bracket with his closest challenger Andy Murray, as the highest-earning Brit has a net worth of £78m ($100m), less than half of Djokovic’s. While Nick Kyrgios, who the Serb met in last year’s final, has a net worth of just £6.29m ($8m), meaning that Djokovic has twice the estimated wealth of the rival pair combined.
He has amassed the highest career prize money of any tennis player in history, having been the first male to reach 23 Major victories with success at the French Open this year. Forbes estimated the 36-year-old’s income from brand deals and endorsements in 2023 at £23m ($30m).
Djokovic is sponsored by numerous top brands such as Head, Ultimate Software Group, NetJets, Seiko Watch Corporation and Peugeot while also releasing a collection with Lacoste in a partnership with the fashion juggernaut.
He has also ventured into real estate, currently owning two apartments in Manhattan, New York in addition to a property in Monaco and a pad in Belgrade. He also owns a tennis centre in the Serbian capital that works alongside the WTA and ATP to help develop the next generation of stars.
Djokovic owns an 80 per cent stake in biotech firm QuantBioRes which claimed to be developing a drug to treat those who have contracted Covid. He opposed the vaccine mandates and was infamously deported from Australia in 2022 after losing his appeal to compete in their Major.
He will hope to claim a hat-trick of Wimbledon victories and also seal his third Grand Slam of the year, to further bolster his huge net worth and cement his legacy in the sport.
