Tennis players are amongst the wealthiest sports people on the planet - a win at this year’s French Open will earn you a hefty €2.55 million.
It’s also one of the few sports to offer similar fiscal rewards to both male and female players - with all the major titles now offering equal money (although Wimbledon didn’t until 2007, decades after the US Open in 1973).
Add in money-spinning advertising and sponsorship deals, personal appearances and shrewd investments, and these aces can become fabulously wealthy.
Lucrative television rights mean that the prize money in the sport has never been higher, meaning that youngsters like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are seeing their bank balances challenge those of the all-time greats - with plenty of years left to play.
Here are the 20 richest tennis stars in the world in 2026, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

17. Monica Seles - $50 million
Representing both Yugoslavia and the USA during her career, Monica Seles won nine major singles titles - eight of them as a teenager. Her first Grand Slam title came at the age of just 16 at the French Open in 1990. The victim of an on-court knife attack by a crazed fan of Steffi Graf in 1993, she withdrew from tennis for over two years and, while she continued to win tournamnets on her eventual return to the sport, she never reached the heights previously scaled. She has an estimated fortune of $50 million. | Getty Images for AYS Sports Mark
18. Carlos Alcaraz - $50 million
One of the newest entries on this list is Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who, at the age of just 23, is already worth around $50 million. He's currently ranked number one in the world, and has won 26 ATP tour events, including seven majors. His win at the Australian Open meant he's the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam. Expect him to rise further in the rich list in the coming years. | Getty Images
19. 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
20. Jannik Sinner - $40 million
Italian player Jannik Sinner may have recently given up his world number one status to great rival Carlos Alcaraz, but he's still 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. | Getty Images
