Rafael Nadal Net Worth vs Novak Djokovic's vs Roger Federer: The trio of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have collectively revolutionized tennis through their compelling and highly entertaining rivalry, pushing the boundaries of performance and achieving extraordinary feats that surpassed all expectations.

Among the "Big 3," Novak Djokovic remains the only active player. Roger Federer was the first to retire in 2022, while Rafael Nadal is set to conclude his illustrious career at the end of the current season.

Here's a breakdown of their estimated net worth, indicating which legend of the sport holds the highest fortune:

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal has amassed significant earnings from both his on-court triumphs and extensive off-court ventures. With 22 Major titles, he ranks second among male players in Grand Slam victories. Given that Grand Slams are the most prestigious and financially rewarding tournaments, it's no surprise that Nadal also ranks second in career prize money, having earned approximately $135 million. He rose to global fame as a charismatic teenager, winning the French Open on his first attempt in 2005.

His notable sponsors include Richard Mille, Babolat, Heineken, KIA, Infosys, Telefonica, and Cantabria Labs. In the past year, Nadal earned $23 million, placing him sixth on Forbes' list of highest-paid tennis athletes in 2024.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, his estimated fortune stands at approximately $220 million. While substantial, this amount is slightly less than that of his two greatest rivals.

Novak Djokovic

For much of his career, Novak Djokovic played catch-up, but he has now surpassed both Federer and Nadal in terms of achievements, leading in almost every key metric. He has also outpaced them in prize money, currently holding the all-time record with a massive $185 million to his name.

His current sponsors include Head, Asics, Hublot, Lacoste, UKG, and Raiffeisen Bank International. Previously, he was sponsored by high-profile brands such as Uniqlo and Audemars Piguet.

The Serbian star has been a regular fixture on Forbes' list of highest-earning tennis players, securing the second spot in 2024 with total earnings of $37 million. His overall net worth is currently estimated to be around $240 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer's elegant style of tennis garnered widespread adoration even before his major breakthrough. Once he began accumulating Grand Slam titles, his popularity skyrocketed. His dominance in the mid-2000s not only made him one of the highest-earning athletes in tennis but across all sports.

Federer retired in 2022, having earned $130 million in prize money throughout his career.

Such is Federer's enduring influence that even after his retirement, he earned an astonishing $95 million in 2023, making him the ninth-highest paid athlete that year, according to Forbes. 

Federer is currently sponsored by a prestigious list of brands, including Barilla, Credit Suisse Group (ADS), JURA, Lindt & Sprungli, Mercedes-Benz, On, Rolex, Switzerland Tourism, Uniqlo, and Wilson Sporting Goods, among others.

With such an impressive array of sponsors, it is hardly surprising that Federer's current net worth has soared to an estimated $550 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth's latest figures. This places him significantly ahead of both Nadal and Djokovic in terms of overall wealth.
