Be it on the tennis court or the coveted Forbes List, even at the ripe age of 33 he shows no signs of stopping.
Roger Federer has achieved every possible miracle, whether on court or off court. On court, he stands aloof at the pinnacle of the Sport with 17 Grand Slam titles. Off court, he is a role model for a lot of other tennis players.
2014 in particular was a great year for Federer as he climbed up to No.2 and won five titles along with a Semi Final appearance or better in 3 out of 4 Grand Slams. He and Mirka welcomed their second set of twins last year. Though the odds could be a moot point, the internet suggests that the chances of parents having two sets of twins range from 3000-1 to 700,000-1.
His longevity in the sport, his Swiss roots, his aura that transcends boundaries and his impeccable demeanor have boosted his moneymaking potential year after year. His long term deals with blue chip companies like Nike, Credit Suisse, Rolex, Mercedez Benz and Sunrise fetch him a sum of $40 million annually.
