Roger Federer has always played the game differently. On the court, his style was effortless yet devastating. Off it, his decisions carried the same precision. Now, in a move that cements both legacy and legend, the Swiss maestro has joined one of sport’s most exclusive circles. Federer is officially a billionaire—only the seventh athlete in history to cross into ten-figure territory.
Beyond Grand Slams
Federer’s career delivered 20 Grand Slam titles, holding the world in thrall with artistry that turned matches into theatre. But it is his off-court foresight that secured this new chapter. His 3% stake in On, the Swiss sportswear giant, is now valued at around $375 million—a bet that proved as masterful as his backhand. Add in his landmark $300 million Uniqlo deal, alongside enduring partnerships with Rolex, Wilson, and Mercedes-Benz, and the financial picture becomes clear.
The Billionaire Seven
Federer now stands alongside icons who redefined sport and business: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Junior Bridgeman, and Ion Țiriac. To join this group is to move beyond greatness in sport and into the rarefied air of global enterprise. Each member turned athletic success into an empire. Federer’s path feels particularly emblematic of his era—discreet, elegant, and powered by brand partnerships built on trust.
Life After the Court

Though retired, Federer’s appeal shows no sign of fading. His annual earnings remain among the highest in sport, driven by strategic investments and global appearances. Unlike many athletes, he never relied solely on prize money. He built a portfolio designed to endure long after his final match at Wimbledon.
Legacy Secured
For Federer, billionaire status is less about the number and more about what it represents: a career shaped not only by titles but by vision. He remains tennis’s ultimate ambassador, a man whose influence now spans boardrooms as much as baseline rallies. To become the seventh athlete billionaire is not only an achievement—it is the ultimate reflection of a life played with precision.
