On September 15, 2022, Roger Federer, one of the wealthiest men in the history of tennis, shocked the world by announcing his retirement.
He has amassed a substantial fortune via his profession and from his charitable endeavors, which include the founding of the Roger Federer Foundation in 2003 and various other charity events.
With that kind of money, he joins an exclusive group that includes Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, and Lewis Hamilton as “billion-dollar athletes.”
Roger Federer Net Worth
Since the beginning of his athletic career, Roger Federer has amassed a net worth estimated at $550 million. This sum includes the approximately $115 million he has made through tennis alone, in addition to the over $1 billion he has made via sponsorships.
The majority of the money has come from endorsement deals, which pay athletes to appear in commercials and wear the company’s branded apparel.
What is Roger Federer’s total career salary?
During his career, Federer’s highest earning year was 2007, when he raked in $10.1 million and dominated the sport on a global scale.
Over the course of his career, he has gone from making $28,000 in his breakout year (1998) to make $400,000. This all place over the course of only 10 years.
Just over $115 million was won from tournaments, making him one of the top earners in tennis history.
Since 2000, only Rafa Nadal ($131 million) and Novak Djokovic ($159 million) have made more money in tennis than Federer.
Roger Federer Endorsement Deals
A longtime sponsor, Rolex has been associated with Roger Federer from the beginning. Federer signed a rumored $15 million sponsorship agreement with Rolex. As well as Credit Suisse, Lindt, Sunrise, and Jura Elektroapparate, a few of the big firms he has partnered with are located in Switzerland.
According to ESPN and Italian tennis writer Vincenzo Martucci from Sports Senators, Federer’s partnership with Uniqlo is worth about $300 million.
He is also endorsed by Wilson, a major producer of tennis equipment, and Mercedes-Benz, a global automotive and motorsports conglomerate. Gillette, Barilla, Rimowa, Sunrise, On, and Mot & Chandon are among the various brands he has endorsed. Roger Federer is another Nike athlete endorser.
In March of 2020, he was able to get back the Roger Federer logo from Nike. The companies NetJets, Emmi AG, and Maurice Lacroix are former business partners of his. His endorsement deals bring him an off-court income that dwarfs that of other sportsmen.

Eight Wimbledon wins and six Australian Open crowns are among Federer’s record 20 Grand Slam victories. Except for that, he holds the record for the most consecutive US Open victories with five, and he also won the French Open once, in 2009.
He reached a record-breaking 31 men’s singles Grand Slam finals between 2005 at Wimbledon and 2007 at the US Open, making him one of just eight players to accomplish this feat.
Federer holds the record for most ATP Finals championships with six, as well as the most ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles with twenty-eight. Moreover, he holds the record with 23 ATP World Tour 500 victories.

Between 2006 and 2008, Federer and Nadal competed in every French Open and Wimbledon final. Nadal has won 20 Grand Slams, matching Federer’s total, while the Swiss maestro has lost 10 Grand Slam finals against him.

Federer has not played since last year’s Wimbledon when he was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Hubert Hurkacz and it was revealed that he had re-injured the knee that had forced him off the circuit for almost a year. The score of the match was 6-3, 7-6(4), and 6-0. Since January of 2020, Federer has played in five tournaments and endured three knee operations. He retired due to injury issues he’d been having lately in his career.
