Judy Murray, OBE, is a renowned tennis coach and the mother of legendary tennis star Andy Murray.
Her son has reached eleven grand slam finals in total, and was victorious in the the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, 2013 Wimbledon Championships and the 2012 US Open.
He’s also the only player, male or female, to win two Olympic gold medals in singles, which he did at the 2012 and 2016 olympics.

However, enough about Andy, who we really want to know about is his mum.
She’s one of the richest tennis coaches ever to come out of Scotland, so how much is the 62 year old worth?
Judy Murray has an estimated net worth of $70 million, according to Idolnetworth.
This significant wealth is as a result of a stellar career for the Scotswoman.

Although she was an outstanding tennis player in her youth, Murray decided not to turn professional after she was robbed of a title on a tour to Barcelona, saying she was also ‘homesick’.
Instead of focusing on the sport, Judy decided to attend Edinburgh university and eventually graduated with french and business studies in 1981.
After university Judy became an extremely successful tennis coach. As well as coaching both her sons Jamie and Andy to a professional level, she was elected to lead the British Fed Cup team in 2011.
Her achievements were recognised when she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to tennis, women in sport, and charity.
Since then Judy Murray has done a range of pursuits, including Celebrity Masterchef in 2020 and The Chase Celebrity Christmas Special in 2018.

She even appeared on Strictly Come Dancing with partner Anton du Beke in 2014.
When talking to Radio Times about her appearance on the show she said, "It let many more people see what I was like and see my personality."
"Before that, the bulk of the British public probably only saw me stressing out in the player's box and thought, 'She looks as miserable as sin.’”
