The tennis pro, who is considered as one of the highest earning athlete in the world, is said to be receiving quite a hefty pay check as an athlete at the same time earning from his name through endorsements.
But how did Roger Federer's net worth end up this huge by playing tennis?
The Swiss-born sports star exhibited passion and talent for tennis at a young age when he would play the game with his parents and older sister. He later joined the Basel junior tennis program at the age of eight, and manifested great skills for the game. By the age of ten he met Australian player Peter Carter, who took him in and trained him. From then on, Federer began honing his talent and started to emerge on top of the world's junior rankings.
