Roger Federer is officially one of the highest-paid tennis players — and richest people — ever.

On Friday, August 22, Forbes announced Federer, 44, had increased his net worth to $1.1 billion.

The outlet, which regularly publishes the wealth status and rankings of celebrities and notable figures, also reported Federer is also one of only seven athletes who have earned over $1 billion in pretax income while still playing their sport. (The other six include LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Phil Meckelson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Floyd Mayweather.)

Federer was the world’s highest-ranked tennis player for over five years, a feat that included winning 103 tournaments and earning $131 million. After becoming the highest-paid tennis player in the world for 16 years, he retired in 2022.
