Has Nadal signed a Prenup to protect his assets/wealth?

There are females really good looking tennis players that endorsed a lot. And it wasnt so much for their tennis beside being tennis players, as they never won a slam or anything close. To have the looks gives you better deals if you dont have the looks.
You dont even need to have done anything impressive in life to earn a lot if you are good looking. If you are a slam winner AND good looking you got it all basically.
Every tennis player who had endorsements did so after having a great season or after winning a major. Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004. Nadal won the French in 2005. From there, their fame exploded across the world.
Same happened with Eugenie Bouchard who had a ton of endorsements offered to her after she made the Wimbledon finals in 2014. Even despite her good looks, most of her sponsors have dried up including Aviva, Colgate, Nike and Babolat. They didn't want to renew with her. She's worth nothing now even despite her good looks and young age.

Prenuptial agreement can only be signed before a marriage .....however they can get a post nuptial.... where Fed can protect his assets/wealth but Mirka has to agree to that though thats the catch.

Yes I am aware of that. If you look closely at my reply you'll see I highlighted a word from his post:

"Federer stands to lose the most in case of divorce if he hasn't had a prenup yet. "

By including "yet" in his sentence I was facetiously asking him if he could sign one after he got married. Get it now? :)

Pretty sure he already has iron clad non disclosure etc contracts in place, like hugh jackman does with his beard.
Ironclad Prenups...Ironclad Non discloser contracts I am aware of.... any other way to protect yourself even more ?

So why didnt Nike offer Fed a better deal then?

Jelena has two children from Novak. She doesn't need a pre nup, she has her hooks in him for life if and when they divorce. He's liable for their son and daughter for the next 20 years.
Yup. But I don't think Djokovic is looking for a divorce. he's been with her since they were in high school.

In USA maybe.
I don't know...I just know that Damian Lillard of the Blazers is making $196 mill over 4 years, Durant is getting $164 mill, Kemba Walker is signed to $141 mill, and Jimmy Butler is making $142 mill...all over a 4-5 year period. I don't see tennis players making that kind of coin in terms of their actual winnings. They get the bulk of their earnings from endorsements.

No, I meant men who say another guy wasted their sexual prime by being monogamous is the one who never gets laid. Some people prefer sex 1,000 times with one partner that sex one time with 1,000 different partners.
You seem like you spend a lot of time on the internet. :)

I dont get your point?
We are in a tennis forum. Basketball is a sport not so interesting for me. I dont care how these basketball players make money.

Lebron is making $30 mill per year with Nike. But it makes sense seeing as basketball is a much bigger sport than tennis.

That's makes Federer's 10 year 100 million Uniqlo deal seem like chump change.

Edit: it's actually 300 million and better than Lebron. Nike doesn't usually sign long term contracts due to injuries.

I just checked on Forbes, Nadal's making around $26 mill yearly from sponsors alone which include Nike, Babolat, Tommy Hilfiger, Kia Motors and Telefonica.
In comparison, Federer is making $30 mill per year from Uniqlo alone and another $50+ million from his other sponsors Rolex, Wilson, Mercedes, etc.
Tennis players are among the very elite in terms of endorsements. Federer has the biggest endorsement portfolio in the world. Far ahead of even Lebron James and Ronaldo.
More than Nishikori?

I honestly think him getting married means he is ready to have children really soon.
Tick tock. Nadal can have children for decades. Look at all the old men who are now becoming fathers when they should be grandfathers.

Look at Tony Randall:


He got remarried at age 75 to someone only 25, which I personally think was sad for his two kids. Imagine being 6 or 7 when your father dies from old age.

But for women menopause can happen later or earlier, so you don't want to wait to age 35 or 40 before having your last kid.

That's insane! When did he sign that? It's bigger than Canelo Alvarez's contract which was the biggest sports contact.
Well actually it's not a sports contract. LeBron makes around $35 mill per year as his actual salary in the NBA. His endorsement portfolio is extensive with his biggest sponsor being Nike. He signed a lifetime deal with them in 2015 and makes around $30 mill per year from Nike.
Canelo fights for DAZN and makes around $33 mill per fight. He still has the biggest contract in all of sports which is 11 fights for $365 mill over a 5 year period. I personally don't find Canelo that exciting as a boxer but he's a huge star in Mexico where boxing is massive and he draws a lot of viewers.

Eggjectly..
Feder loves cheese pasta, and I feel like throwing up when I see that dish.
Still he's my favorite tennis player
Have you tried covering your eyes?

I would think that would seem like a betrayal to a women who has remained loyal for so many years without her "boyfriend" even considering marriage until it was convenient for him and his game.
Well I'm sure any of us would be committed to Nadal too if he was worth north of $200 mill. The female Nadal fans on this forum would leave their husbands in a heartbeat to get with The Nadal!!! Heck even the male fans on here would leave their girlfriends for Rafa!

Suresh wishes he could be impregnated by Rafa!

You are so not right!!! You have a strange view on the dynamics in wealthy societies.

Divorce happens. It used to be something like 50% of marriages end via divorce. Even Rafa's parents considered it a few years ago, but reconciled when Rafa's career negatively reflected the upheaval in the family.

Both Rafa and Maria are people of the world. The idea of a pre-nup would not be foreign to either of them. Regardless of what they decide, if they have not at least discussed the topic, that's folly in this day and age. Call me cynical, but also call me realistic.

Nadal wasted much of his prime years. Rather than staying with one girlfriend for most of his life, he could've gone through half the women of Spain by now before settling down. :laughing:
Yeah but then he would end up like Dimitrov or Monfils or Kyrgios - too focused on girls and messing up their tennis career.

It is generally advisable that a wealthy man or women sign a prenuptial agreement 6 months in advance to protect themselves..... Just CURIOUS.....

Discuss.
If you are curious, why ask us? :)
Nobody here knows anything about Rafa's marriage....
