The winner of this year’s Wimbledon tennis championship will bag a cheque for over £3.6 million - up from ‘only’ £3 million last year - it’s no wonder that tennis players are amongst the wealthiest sportspeople on the planet.
Add in money-spinning advertising and sponsorship deals, personal appearances and shrewd investments, and these athletes can become seriously loaded.
The hikes in prize money means that relative youngsters like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are seeing their bank balances challenge and even exceed those of the all-time greats like Jimmy Connors and Bjorn Borg - with plenty of years to play.
And with equal prize money in majors, female tennis players are just as rich as their male counterparts - Serena Williams is the second richest player in history.
Here are the 15 wealthiest men’s tennis stars in the world in 2026, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

9. Carlos Alcaraz - $50 million
One of the newest entries on this list is Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who, at the age of just 22, is already worth around $50 million. He's currently ranked number one in the world, and has won 26 tour events, including seven majors. He completed his career Grand Slam at the Australian Open but has missed a couple of majors with a worrying wrist injury.

10. Andy Roddick - $40 million
American player Andy Roddick reached five Grand Slams in his career - losing all but one to Roger Federer. His sole major win was the 2003 US Open. Still, his consistency meant that he was in the world top 10 for a full decade, earning him a fortune estimated at $40 million. | WireImage
11. Ivan Lendl - $40 million
Czech-American player Ivan Lendl was ranked world number one for a then-record 270 weeks, winning 954 singles including right Grand Slams (and came runner-up in another 11). After retiring he has become a successful tennis coach, working with several top players - most notable guiding Andy Murray to major success. He has a net worth of approximately $40 million. | Getty Images
12. Jannik Sinner - $40 million
Italian player Jannik Sinner has recently regained his world number one status from great rival Carlos Alcaraz, and has won 29 ATP singles, including four majors in the last few years. He's also led his country to David Cup crowns in 2023 and 2024. His rivalry with Alcaraz is set to light up the world of tennis in the coming years - although he's currently trailing him when it comes to his bank balance, with a fortune of around $40 million. | AFP via Getty Images
