SAD NEWS: About a minute ago Roger Federer die in a Car Crash……
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic rewrote the tennis record books over the course of their remarkable careers, but which one of the ‘Big 3’ earned the most money in their careers?
There is a clear winner when it comes to prize money, as Djokovic’s longevity at the top of the sport and his success in winning more Grand Slams and Masters 1000 tournaments gives him the prize money edge, but Federer may be the overall winner in the cash battle.
Novak Djokovic is the big winner here, with his $186,249,969 placing him top of the all-time prize money list in tennis.
Nadal’s $134,946,100 puts him second on the all-time list of earnings in men’s tennis, with Federer not far behind with $130,594,339.
These figures do not include appearance fees that are handed out at non-mandatory tournaments, with all three certain to command huge fees from events desperate to add these three icons to their playing field.
Federer continues to be a hugely attractive option for sponsors, with his clean cut image and global popularity ensuring any brand he endorses gets a boost.
He currently has deals with Wilson, his long-time racket manufacturer and clothing brand Uniqlo, who signed Federer up on a long-term deal that ended his long-standing partnership with Nike.
The Swiss legend is also associated with Barilla, Credit Suisse Group (ADS), JURA, Lindt & Sprungli, LVMH Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, Mercedes-Benz, NetJets, On, RIMOWA, Rolex, Sunrise Communications AG and Switzerland Tourism.
