Tennis is one of the most followed sports in the world and unlike some sports, it is followed passionately in almost every part of the world. Given its popularity, tennis players are also amongst the richest athletes in the world. They make millions in prize money alone and live a lavish life. Currently, Swiss maestro Roger Federer is the richest tennis player in the world and could very well become a billionaire- tennis’ first.
Other notable names who have a lavish net worth are 23-time grand slam champion Serena Williams and Russian beauty Maria Sharapova. But surprisingly, there is one tennis player whose family is so rich that even when we combine the net worths of Federer, Sharapova, and Williams, the amount will nowhere be close to what her estimated net worth is.
28-year-old Jessica Pegula, who has been very consistent over the years, broke into the top 10 of the WTA Rankings and is the No.1 American female tennis player. She comes from one of the richest families in the world and given the sporting background in the family, she chose to play tennis and turned pro in 2009.
