As the highest-earning tennis player in history, Novak Djokovic is hardly short of money, but if he successfully defends his title at Wimbledon he will find himself £2.4 million richer.
The Serbian is a multimillionaire already just from his on court exploits, having racked up 23 grand slam victories – seven of them at Wimbledon, including the last four championships.
If you also factor in his endorsem*nt deals, he is a very wealthy athlete indeed and - even at 36 - looks set to add to his trophy cabinet and bank account.
But what is Djokovic’s net worth and how did he make his millions?
What prize money is on offer at Wimbledon?
By reaching the semi finals of Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic has already guaranteed himself a £600,000 pay day. Should he go one further, he will take home a kitty of £1.2 million if he loses the final and £2.35 million if he wins.
The winner’s total is a 17.5 per cent increase from 2022. The winnings are the same for women as they are for men.
