Who is the richest 'big 3': Federer, Nadal or Djokovic?

The Grand Slam title race of the "big 3" tennis world has ended early with the victory leaning towards Djokovic. But in the money race, can Djokovic compare with Federer and Nadal?

According to the announcement from the financial organization Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the assets of former tennis player Roger Federer reached nearly 1.3 billion USD in June 2025. Thereby, the Swiss tennis player became the first tennis player to join the "Billion Dollar Club" of the sports world.

This is really surprising information, because Federer has retired since 2022. After 3 years of hanging up his racket, the "express train"'s assets are still increasing, why?

The key factor that helps Federer maintain his main source of income is extremely valuable sponsorship contracts.

Notably, the Uniqlo deal, worth about $300 million (about $30 million per year for 10 years) was signed in 2018. In addition, he has also cooperated with luxury brands such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Lindt, Credit Suisse/UBS, under contracts that have lasted for many years until now.

This is a special point in terms of Federer's brand. Famous for being a gentleman, with a beautiful playing style that is unique in the history of tennis, even after retiring, Federer is always sought after by sports companies or luxury brands.

Not only that, Federer is also a master investor. One of his notable investments is owning a 3% stake in the Swiss sports shoe brand On Running.

Over the past few years, the company's stock has increased in price, increasing its value to about 17 billion USD, thereby helping Federer's assets increase by about 500 million USD.

In terms of prize money, Federer has earned around $130 million throughout his career. This is a dream number for any tennis player, but only contributes to 10% of Federer's current fortune.

According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Nadal's current assets are around 310 million USD. It is worth noting that Nadal earns more in competition prize money than Federer (about 134 million USD), but is far behind in sponsorship and investment.

If we only count the prize money from tennis, Djokovic is obviously "unrivaled" with the figure of 188 million USD. But in terms of total assets, he is the least of the "big 3", with assets of about 240 million USD.

Of course, it should also be added that Djokovic is the youngest of this group, and is still playing. After retiring, the Serbian can focus more on investing outside the tennis court.
