- American star Emma Navarro has a fortune greater than that of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal combined
- Navarro is currently in action at Wimbledon and will play four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in the second round of the tournament.
- His fortune is largely due to his father, a billionaire tycoon.
American tennis player Emma Navarro has yet to make a splash in the tennis world, but she has a net worth that would make any of the top male or female favorites envious.
The 23-year-old American star made history this week by reaching the second round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
She will now face the four-time Grand Slam singles champion. Naomi Osaka on Wednesday in the second round of the coveted competition.
Despite being ranked 19th in women’s singles, Navarro has failed to take home any major trophies or any of the eye-popping prize money on offer across the ATP Tour.
Although the American hopes to impress and show that she has a future, the tennis star will not be under any financial pressure as she already has an impressive portfolio thanks to her wealthy family.
Navarro, born in New York, is the daughter of wealthy billionaire investment magnate Ben Navarro and the granddaughter of the late Ivy League football player turned coach Frank Navarro.
The American billionaire built his multi-billion dollar empire through numerous business ventures, most notably as founder and owner of Sherman Financial Group, which has assets such as Credit One Bank.
Ben has also shown interest in his daughter’s passion, investing in the world of tennis, first purchasing Charlestown Tennis LLC through his company Beemok Sports in 2018, which runs the longest-running women’s-only tennis tournament, the Charlestown Open.
Before shelling out nearly $300m (£237m) in 2022 to secure the Western and Southern Open, a major tennis tournament.
The Western and Southern Open saw 19 of the top 20 tennis players compete in the competition in 2022 and is one of only nine tennis events recognised globally as a top-tier tournament for both male and female players.
The rising tennis star has already achieved the financial feat that most players dream of reaching before their playing days come to an end.
Navarro’s net worth is estimated to be around £3 billion, putting him above tennis greats Roger Federer $550 million (£434m), Rafael Nadal $220 million (£174m) and Novak Djokovic $240 million (£189m).
The 23-year-old sports star who made her Australian Open debut in January is not the only famous sporting name in her family.
His late grandfather, Frank Navarro, was a college football player who later became a coach.
Frank served as head coach at Williams College, Columbia University, Wabash College and Princeton University and even introduced the “Monster Defense” at Williams.
