Roger Federer is arguably one of the greatest players tennis has ever seen. The Swiss maestro's trophy collection is impressive.

Federer has also won a record eight Wimbledon titles and five consecutive US Open titles, which is the most in the Open Era.

Roger Federer endorsement money
The former World No.1 makes $86 million through endorsing three global brands majorly in the banking, cars and watches industry. He inked a deal with a top Japanese apparel brand that locked him up in 2018 with a 10-year, $300 million deal. Apart from his endorsements, his eponymous foundation has raised more than $40 million and educated one million children in Africa since its launch.
The 38-year-old Swiss could be hanging up his racquet any time soon but looking at his popularity, the endorsements are certainly not going to stop coming.
