At just 22, Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz is one of the highest earners of the sport. With a reported net worth of approximately $42.3M (Rs 361 crore approx) according to Forbes, Alcaraz has already left behind British counterparts Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper in the wealth rankings.
Widely considered one of the richest athletes in tennis today, the Murcia-born player has collected 17 ATP singles titles so far, including four Grand Slams and five Masters 1000 crowns. This season, he clinched the French Open and Wimbledon titles, bringing his major tally to four. He also captured a silver medal at the Olympics last year.
Alcaraz made his Grand Slam breakthrough in 2022, beating Casper Ruud to win the US Open. Since then, he has secured back-to-back Wimbledon titles and consecutive French Open championships. With the grass-court season underway, he enters Wimbledon next month as the second seed behind Italy’s Jannik Sinner, whom he overcame in a dramatic Roland Garros final in May.
What is Carlos Alcaraz’s net worth?
According to estimates cited by Forbes, Alcaraz has built a fortune of around $42.3 million. His Grand Slam victories and consistent performance in top-tier tournaments have significantly contributed to his growing wealth. In addition to prize money, Alcaraz’s endorsement portfolio includes high-profile collaborations with brands such as Evian, Rolex, and BMW, each adding substantial value to his income.
Carlos Alcaraz’s income sources
- Endorsements and off-court income
In the 12 months leading up to August 2024, Alcaraz reportedly earned around $32 million (approx. Rs 274 crore) outside of tournament winnings. This figure includes revenue from sponsorships, promotional events, and exhibition appearances. According to Forbes, he commands between $1 million (Rs 8.5 crore) and $2 million (Rs 17 crore) per exhibition match.
- Tournament winnings
As per Forbes, Alcaraz collected $10.3 million (Rs 89 crore) in prize money last year alone. His 2024 Wimbledon triumph brought in £2.7 million (roughly Rs 30 crore), reported Business Standard. For winning the French Open singles in the same year, he received €2.4 million (around Rs 24 crore), according to Hindustan Times. Cumulatively, his ATP earnings from singles and doubles have reached $38,804,003 (Rs 332 crore), based on official ATP Tour statistics.
How much Nike pays him
The most significant brand association in Alcaraz’s career remains with Nike. Their relationship began in 2015 and was extended in 2020 for another five years. While precise details remain undisclosed, reports from specialized outlets estimate the deal to be worth around $1 million.
Sponsorship figures are rarely made public, but speculation intensified last year when reports surfaced claiming Jannik Sinner had inked a 10-year, $150 million agreement with Nike. Should such reports be accurate, Alcaraz’s camp could leverage that benchmark during renegotiations next year.
Alongside Nike, Alcaraz also represents Rolex, BMW, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, ElPozo, and ISDIN, forming a strong network of premium brand affiliations.
Chasing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal
In terms of wealth, Alcaraz is still trailing behind tennis greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, whose estimated net worths stand at $550 million and $220 million respectively. However, many believe the young Spaniard is on course to overtake them.
His manager, Albert Molina, is considered one of the most astute agents in the business. Molina’s strategy has been to prioritise the quality of sponsorships rather than signing numerous deals.
