Now, Prime Video has turned these moments into a documentary. Titled FEDERER: Twelve Final Days, the documentary will offer viewers a glimpse into his final few days in the sport. Undoubtedly, Federer is one of the greatest athletes of all time and made a fortune through Tennis. Let’s take a look at his net worth.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Roger Federer has a net worth of $550 million. Almost 1/4th of his career earnings came through Tennis. Per the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), Federer earned over $130 million in his professional career, making him the third-highest-earning Tennis player of all time. The only players ahead of him on the list are Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. In 2018, Federer’s contract with Nike expired and signed an exclusive deal worth $300 million with Uniqlo.
Apart from that, Roger Federer endorsed numerous brands throughout his career and continues to do so. According to his official website, the Tennis ace is associated with brands such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Lindt, Jura, Wilson Sporting Goods, UBS, Sunrise Communications, Netjets, Switzerland Tourism, and more.

In 2023, Forbes named Roger Federer one of the 10 highest-paid athletes. According to the publication, Federer earned over $95.1 million between May 2022 and May 2023. Despite announcing retirement, his popularity has not declined, and he continues to make a lot of money.
How many Grand Slams did the Swiss Tennis ace win?
Roger Federer began his Tennis journey in 1996 and won Wimbledon junior singles and doubles titles in 1998. As a result, he ended the year as the #1 in the junior world ranking. Meanwhile, in 1999, Federer turned pro and nabbed eyeballs after winning many high-profile games. However, he had to wait almost two years to win his first-ever ATP tournament. Moreover, in 2021, Federer defeated the legendary tennis player Pete Sampras at Wimbledon, which solidified his status as a rising superstar in the sport.
Even though experts called him the next big thing in Tennis, Federer still needed to prove his mantle in Grand Slam tournaments. Finally, in 2003, he won his first-ever grand slam and defeated Australian player Mark Philippoussis in the finals to win the coveted trophy. He won the Grand Slam tournaments in Australia (Australian Open), New York (US Open), and Wimbledon the following year. As a result, Federer became the #1 ranked player in the world.
He continued his golden run in 2005 and won 11 out of 15 tournaments he played in, including Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and the US Open. Moreover, after winning Wimbledon in 2007, Roger Federer became the second Tennis player to win five Wimbledon titles. In the following years, Federer won several titles and became one of the most influential players in Tennis history. He ended his professional career with 20 Grand Slam titles.
In September 2022, he teamed up with Rafael Nadal in his final match at the Laver Cup and bid adieu to the game of Tennis. The upcoming documentary will make viewers realize why he announced his retirement.
FEDERER: Twelve Final Days will have its world premiere at this year’s TRIBECA Festival. Subsequently, the documentary will be available for streaming on June 20, 2024, on Prime Video.
