Federer’s path to $1B net worth
Roger Federer’s rise to billionaire status isn’t just a result of his 20 Grand Slam titles or $130 million in career prize money, though those remain impressive on their own. The bulk of his wealth is rooted in smart investments and long term brand deals.
- On Running Investment: In 2019, Federer acquired a roughly 3% stake in Swiss sportswear company On, which has since gone public and soared in value. His stake is now estimated between $375 million and over $500 million.
- Lucrative sponsorships: Federer’s endorsements have been game-changers. The $300 million, 10 year contract with Uniqlo, along with longstanding deals with Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Lindt, and others, continue to produce significant income.
- Business Ventures: Beyond endorsements, Federer has co-founded the athlete management firm Team8 and played a key role in creating the Laver Cup, further diversifying his revenue streams.
Joining the billionaire athlete elite
Roger Federer is now one of only a handful of athletes whose estimated net worth exceeds $1 billion:
- Forbes places his wealth at approcimately $1.1 billion as of August 22, 2025
- Bloomberg and other outlets estimate an even higher figure, around $1.3 billion, making Federer the second tennis player ever, and the only member of the Big Four, to hit this mark.
He now sits among other billionaire athletes, like LeBron James ($1.2 billion) and Lionel Messi, who have defied the odds and leveraged their athletic game to build vast business empires.

2025 NFL practice squad tracker: Full list of team-by-team moves, signings for all 32 clubs after cut deadline
NFL teams trimmed their respective rosters from 90 players down to the 53-man active limit on Tuesday. In the wake of those moves, several players involved in those roster cuts will return or sign with practice squads elsewhere. Each team is allowed to construct a 17-player practice squad, including 10 first- or second-year players, up to six veterans with extensive NFL experience, and one spot allocated for the International Pathway Program. These units are fluid and can change on a daily basis. Each week during the regular season, teams have the opportunity to elevate up to two practice squad players, but players may not be elevated more than three separate weeks during the season without being elevated to the 53-man roster. Players have freedom of choice beyond waivers. For example, Broncos quarterback Sam Ehlinger is reportedly electing to return to Denver's practice squad […]
2025 NFL waiver claims tracker: Titans claim four players, including Jalyn Armour-Davis from Ravens
Getty NFL roster cutdown day took place on Tuesday as all 32 NFL clubs trimmed their rosters to 53 players. Following these cuts are waiver claims, with more than 1,100 players looking for new NFL homes. Any NFL player that is cut but not vested -- that is, having fewer than four years of experience -- goes through the waiver wire, where any of the other 31 NFL teams have the chance to claim them. If a player passes through waivers unclaimed, they are free to sign with a team's practice squad.This year, the Tennessee Titans held the No. 1 waiver claim, and new general manager Mike Borgonzi had the right to claim as many players as he wanted. Tennessee ended up claiming four.Keep in mind, if a team claims another player after already having 53 players on their active roster, they […]
