About Roger Federer
- Federer has a sponsor portfolio that is unmatched in the sports world. In 2020, that made him the world's highest-paid athlete for the first time; he was No. 10 in 2023.
- The biggest deal in his stable is Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo, which locked him up in 2018 under a ten-year, $300 million deal.
- Federer has won $130 million in prize money in his career, but the total is dwarfed by his off-court earnings from appearances and endorsem*nts.
- The tennis legend's biggest payday yet may come from his stake in Swiss athletic apparel company On, which went public in September 2021.
- His namesake foundation has raised more than $50 million and educated 1.5 million children in Africa since its launch.
