By that logic it may as well just be Bill Gates:

I doubt Tiriac could exactly bring it on the court any more.
Correct me if I'm wrong though - McEnroe is still great apparently.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

Sorry for my ignorance but how the highest net worth is calculated in tennis ? By prize money, sponsorship or anything else? Agassi having higher net worth than Novak?

By net worth.

It's not an imaginary tournament. It's a ranking by wealth of professional tennis players. What do Bill Gates and Tiriac's on court ability at 77 have to do with anything?

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Courier and Santoro with nearly the same net worth... that is shocking considering their age difference is not big at all.
Slam titles on the doubles tour explain this I guess. Santoro had a very long career too.

By net worth.

Thank you for your very helpful response. Your comments about economy are as valuable as your comments about tennis.

To a guy like Navdeep, who thought it would be calculated by tournament winnings, I thought it might bring some clarity.

To a guy like you, I assume nothing will bring clarity, so again you get left in the dust.

It includes sponsorship yes. Prize money alone, Djokovic is at the top right now.

You underestimate yourself. You were clear like glass for everyone.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

By net worth.

Ok got it, so it is calculated for tennis players as same as others.

 

[Mainad]

By that logic it may as well just be Bill Gates:

With all that dosh piling out of every orifice, you'd think Bill could have managed to add a few Slam titles along the way!

Did Tiriac make some investments with outstanding ROI?

 

[metsman]

net worth is economy?

 

[Bluefan75]

Did Tiriac make some investments with outstanding ROI?

Didn't he own some tournaments at one time? He did some commercials.... probably bought in right in Romania as the revolution happened. They probably did have an excellent ROI.

 

[Noelan]

He still owns Madrid , owns new Istambul tournament (federer player first year when tournament started)

 

[vernonbc]

That list is baloney. They have no idea what the various players net worth is. They can come up with a rough idea of what their income is but they have no idea how the players invested their money and how wealthy those investments have made them. I don't know nearly as much about the other guys but I know Rafa is fabulously wealthy because his father is a very shrewd business man and that figure of $125 million is way low. Rafa owns many hotels, apartment buildings, real estate, restaurants and assorted businesses all around the world plus his Foundation owns a bunch more and his wealth is intertwined with the rest of the Nadal family's and they are all very very rich.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Talking of baloney, how on earth are Djokovic and Nadal ranked above McEnroe at the net?

[citybert]

Kei is not on the list? His deal with uniqlo is 10MM alone(not 100%sure) and yes taxes etc. but he has many other deals and has over 10MM in prize money

Also werent borg and becker both broke at one point?

This list is definitely sus

the list above is a total crap.

 

[Tardigrade]

1. Ion Tiriac $2 billion (the richest man in the world is Bill Gates with $88 billion)

Putin has a net worth far greater than that amount.

Putin has a net worth far greater than that amount.

IF that's true, no wonder many Russians live way below poverty line.

 

[Tardigrade]

IF that's true, no wonder many Russians live way below poverty line.

Apparently he's over $170 billion.

 

[tennisaddict]

Serbian mafia has to pay for all those fixed draws. Otherwise based on prize money of over 100 million , total net worth of 130 million would be much more

 

[Incognito]

Apparently he's over $170 billion.

Then that's really interesting, because his annual income as a politician does not exceed 2 million dollars according to an article i read months ago. Merkel, Obama etc earn more.

LOL, wonder what illegal activities Vladimir is involved in

Anyway, Mubarak embezzled trillions of dollars of Egyptian money, so did the Marcos' family after that Edsa revolution in the Philippines in 1986, The Kaddafis etc.

I add that Rafa owns also the Rafa Nadal Sports Centre (his Academy is a part of it) in his hometown.

Tiriac's a banking titan. Think JP Morgan, just in Romania.

Obama earns more? Not. His annual salary is $400,000 per year. There are many other government officials that earn more than he does. Obama also gets some royalties from the books he wrote a few years ago. US presidents don't get rich, not while they're in office anyway.

Money. Like war, does not make one great.

You are right, that article I read must have converted the salaries in swedish krona. Here's another article with leaders' income in dollars from 2014:

Putin is not even in this list.
