Family of Wimbledon tennis player is worth more than Djokovic, Murray, Nadal and Federer combined

Wimbledon kicks off today (3 July), with one very rich player taking to the court

Wimbledon kicks off today (3 July), with the game's stars taking to SW19 to stake their claim on the Grand Slam title.

Over the years, the tournament has been dominated by the likes of Andy Murray, Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Roger Federer.

But while their successes at Wimbledon and other slams have made them all millions along the way, there is one player who is wealthier than all of them put together. Yes, really.

Jessica Pegula is currently the world number four, winning two singles titles and seven doubles tournaments.

This year alone, she's made £2.2 million in prize money, but that is a tiny drop in the vast ocean of her family's inordinate wealth.

But let's have a look at what her competitors are worth first.

Murray has been a star on the tennis seen for the past two decades, winning Wimbledon twice and the US Open once during his career.

According to reports, he's said to have made around £50m in prize money, while his sponsorship deals bring the total to an estimated £130m.

Williams, on the other hand, is reportedly worth around £228m and Djokovic, who holds the record for Grand Slam titles in the men's division, is said to be worth around £189m.

Nadal is reportedly worth £174m, while Federer is worth £434m.

But even when you combine all those very large numbers, it's nowhere near Pegula's wealth.

This is because Pegula's father is Terry Pegula, who owns NFL giants the Buffalo Bills, and is worth an eye-watering £5.29bn.

According to Forbes, this makes the entrepreneur the 386th richest person in the world right now.

So yeah, Murray and the rest have got a bit of catching up to do if they hope of reaching those kinds of numbers.

Speaking back in 2020 about her family's fortune, Pegula said she understood that she was incredibly fortunate.

"I know I was more privileged than other people," the 29-year-old said.

"I'm aware of that. I try to be very down-to-earth, and I think I am."

At the time of writing, Pegula is currently in the middle of her first round match against Lauren Davis at Wimbledon, no doubt hoping to go further than the third round - her best performance at the tournament - she managed last year.

Ahead of her opening match, she said: "Being in a tournament for two full weeks, that's the thing that's crazy it's such a long time.

"You have to be really dialled in every single day which is exhausting.

"Finding routines is really helpful for me."

As well as the singles draw, Pegula will also be competing in the women's doubles alongside Coco Gauff.
