The incredible life of Roger Federer, the highest-paid tennis player on earth
The former world number one is one of the most successful players of all time. He has won the men's singles tournament at Wimbledon alone seven times since 2003, as well as 24 Masters Tournaments all over the world. Despite his ranking of 17th in the world before the Australian Open, he has now risen back to tenth place.
The 35-year-old is not only one of the most talented athletes on the planet, but also the most profitable. Forbes named him the world's highest-paid tennis player in 2016, earning £54.3 million ($68 million) from professional wins and million-pound sponsorship deals with companies from Nike to Credit Suisse.
In 2016, the London School of Marketing named him the world's most marketable athlete and, while the Swiss sports star leads a relatively private life compared to wealthier athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo, Federer also spends his money on the finer things in life. He also owns his own charity, the Roger Federer Foundation, which supports educational projects in southern Africa and Switzerland.
From tailored tennis rackets to Swiss mansions, here's how Federer makes and spends his fortune - and his minimal spare time.
