Emma Raducanu's net worth SOARS to £13.5million after her firm made £5million profit last year
EMMA Raducanu is worth at least £13.5million after her firm netted a £5million profit last year. The 22-year-old tennis star banked £100,000 a week from her company Harbour 6, which channels her sports and commercial earnings. 4 The accounts show it has £13.5million of assets including £13.4million in cash. It is due to pay bills of £1.5million, including corporation tax at £1.2million. Kent-based Emma, the sole director, set up the business in 2020. It held just £44 in the bank during its first trading year. But she has seen money roll in from commercial sponsorship deals with brands including Nike, Porsche, Evian, Dior, Tiffany's, Vodafone and British Airways. Expert Nigel Currie said: 'Emma and her management team are clearly very smart. "They have capitalised on her amazing US Open victory in 2021, when she was just 18. "Sponsors are always on the lookout for high profile female athletes. 'Looks and physique are also important, while outgoing personalities do well with media engagements and sponsorship contracts. "She has all of those qualities in abundance. Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper accused of 'ex vibes' as Carlos Alcaraz is upstaged by Brits' awkward embrace at net 'That said, she has so far failed to rediscover the form that took her to her Grand Slam triumph.' Emma and rumoured Spanish love interest Carlos Alcaraz could have earned plenty more this week, but crashed out of the $1million US Open mixed doubles to Brit Jack Draper and American Jessica Pegula. 4
