Roger Federer has accumulated a fortune in his career. However, US player Jessica Pegula outshines him. The reason is simple.

the essentials in brief
- Jessica Pegula (WTA 3) is the richest tennis player in the world.
- The American owes her wealth to her wealthy family.
- From a sporting point of view, the 29-year-old is still waiting for the big triumph.
Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have shaped tennis over the past two decades. Added together, they have an incredible 62 Grand Slam victories.
It goes without saying that the three of them are at the forefront of tennis players when it comes to wealth. According to the “Sports Brief” portal, that of the Swiss is estimated at almost 490 million francs. Djokovic and Nadal bring it to 195 million francs each.
However, at the top of the ranking is a woman. Jessica Pegula, currently number three in the world, tops the list. The fortune of the American is estimated at an unbelievable six billion francs. And this is around 12 times higher than that of Roger Federer.
Daughter of natural gas billionaire
How come? After all, the prize money that Pegula has won so far in her career is “only” just under nine million francs.
The reason is simple: the 29-year-old is the daughter of natural gas billionaire Terrence Pegula (72). In all likelihood, one day she will inherit a great deal of money. The Pegula family owns two sports teams, the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabers.
