How much would the recent Grand Slam win add to Carlos Alcaraz's net worth
Image: AP Carlos Alcaraz's meteoric rise on the clay—and beyond—has translated into something beyond trophies: serious wealth. After his epic win on Roland Garros last night, claiming his 5th Grand Slam title at the French Open 2025, netizens flooded in with congratulatory messages all over the world. Along with them, came the further speculations as to how much this recent win would add to this tennis star's net worth. As of June 2025, the 21-year-old tennis sensation boasts an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, a figure bolstered by over $41 million in career prize money, per ATP records (via Essentially Sports) But when it comes to off-court income, the numbers truly spike. How much does Carlos Alcaraz earn through his prize money With Grand Slam titles at the US Open (2022), Wimbledon (2023–24), the French Open (2024–25), Alcaraz is no stranger to the winner's circle—and its hefty reward. ATP stats confirm he has collected more than $41 million through tournament play alone. In 2024, his paydays included roughly $10.3 million from prize money and a staggering $32 million via endorsements. (via Essentially Sports) How much does Carlos Alcaraz earn through endorsements? What distinguishes Alcaraz isn't just court dominance—it's branding brilliance. The combination of explosive performance, youthful charisma, and high-profile partnerships affirms his status not just as an athlete, but as a global brand. More titles likely mean more prize money; more fanfare ensures bigger endorsement cheques. Carrying the mantle of a young icon isn't cheap—and brands are paying up. Alcaraz's endorsement portfolio features power players such as Nike, Rolex, BMW, Babolat, Calvin Klein, and ISDIN sunscreen. The breakdown? A tidy $10 million-plus annually from his Nike deal alone, and about $32 million in total sponsorship income in 2024.

But Alcaraz leads the pack in combined earnings, closing the gap on the top tier of tennis royalty. (via Essentially Sports) Given his current trajectory—multiple Grand Slam wins, brand lining up to partner with the tennis star, and global appeal—Alcaraz's net worth could well crest the $100 million mark over the next few years, edge him into the financial elite alongside Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Easier to say,with the current Roland Garros win making it his 5th Grand Slam title, as Alcaraz steps onto the court next, the stakes won't just be trophies—they'll be brand value, sponsorship leverage, and career legacy. From prize purses to global ad campaigns, every rally pushes him closer to tennis's financial summit. At 21, he's already living the dream—and banking on it, too.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Slams Claims He Is Going Bankrupt and Reveals How He's Building ‘Generational Wealth' Through Real Estate
Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. furiously shut down speculation that he is struggling financially—while opening up about his plan to accrue lasting 'generational wealth' by investing in 'smart' real estate purchases. Mayweather, who is the son of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Sr., retired from boxing with an undefeated record in 2017. In 21 years of throwing punches, he claimed 15 world championships across five weight classes—from super featherweight to light middleweight. After exiting the ring for the final time, the 48-year-old decided to take a swing at another potentially lucrative endeavor: real estate investment. Since his retirement from professional sports, Mayweather has snapped up a variety of properties, from trophy mansions and modern estates to affordable housing and rentals. Now, he's lifted the lid on the logic behind his investments, which have reportedly helped him to amass a net worth of around $500 million, according to Essentially Sports. However, that staggering sum was recently brought into question when sports commentary YouTube Channel 'Fighters Corner News' shared a clip, titled 'Stephen A. Smith Exposes Floyd Mayweather For Going Bankrupt After $402 Million Scam.' The video went viral and prompted many to wonder if Mayweather's seemingly successful image was all an illusion. Now, Mayweather has attempted to shut down all speculation about his financial struggles, insisting that the exact opposite is true. 'Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if that's what you call having two private jets, owning 100 buildings, and being able to do what you want, then I'm pretty sure everybody is going bankrupt,' he explained during an appearance at The Real Deal's New York City Forum. Mayweather is so determined to protect his reputation—and his successes—that he recently launched a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Business Insider over a story the outlet published about one of his real estate deals. After Mayweather took to Instagram to reveal that he had purchased 62 residential apartment buildings in Manhattan for the sky-high price of $402 million, the publication released a piece questioning whether the deal had ever happened. 'I'm not a liar. I work hard to build my name and build my reputation,' Mayweather said of the lawsuit. 'Out of my 48 years of life, I've never sued a media outlet, but the media has bashed me and my family throughout my life, and I have always been judged by them. I'm not going to let anyone go out there and smear my name and talk bad about me and my family.' Business Insider issued a statement denying Mayweather's claims to Front Office Sports: 'We will vigorously defend against this meritless attempt to discredit our reporting and smear our reporter.' As for his lucrative real estate dealings, Mayweather says he never planned to start small, instead opting to surround himself with 'smart' people who can help him to invest his money in the right places. Mayweather—whose property portfolio includes retail buildings, luxury rentals, the former Versace mansion, and his recent $402 million investment—said: 'I kept thinking about life after boxing and generational wealth. When I started with real estate, I skipped over eight figures and I went to nine figures. I wanted my payouts to be bigger so I could travel with my family and friends.' However, the former boxer says he doesn't consider himself an expert—at least not yet. 'But, I'm still learning in real estate. I learn every day. I always say real estate is like boxing because I'm always learning,' he added. Mayweather confessed that his 'goal' has been to build wealth that can be passed down to his children: Koraun, 25, Iyanna, 25, Zion, 24, and Jirah, 20. 'The whole goal is for my children to be better than me, and that's a great thing in my eyes,' he explained. 'I don't want to call this a real estate dynasty; it's just building generation wealth. A lot of athletes go out here, and it's a lot physically on the knees and face, so you want to have something. I never took anything for granted.'

Time To Panic? DDP Rumored To Face Six Month Sit
UFC Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis may be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. That's according to top-ranked contender, Caio Borralho, who is angling for an interim title shot versus Khamzat Chimaev in Du Plessis' absence. 'DDP' vs. Khamzat was largely expected to be one of the most high-profile bookings of 2025's 'International Fight Week' event UFC 317, but a Du Plessis' injury would seem to throw a wrench into those plans. Advertisement Immediately, Du Plessis and Khamzat traded online barbs over the withdrawal. Borralho, meanwhile, has been consistent in calling for an opportunity to face 'Borz' himself, and the Chechen standout is open to the match up. Borralho wants to fight for interim gold, and per the surging Brazilian, Du Plessis is going to be benched long enough to justify another 185-pound strap. 'I also heard from another source a little closer to Dricus' camp that it was an injury that seems to be a little serious, like a broken shin. I don't know. Something like that,' Borralho told Ag. Fight (via Essentially Sports). He continued, 'He'll be out for about six months, and that would make it easier for the UFC to put [the interim title on the line]. So, I'm waiting for that. This fight will only happen if it's for the interim belt.' At the time of this article, Du Plessis has still refused to publicly confirm or deny his alleged injury, let alone offer specifics on the recovery process. If Du Plessis is ready to go or only facing a short time off the mats, an interim title would be rather disrespectful. The South African is an active champion, having defended his title opposite Sean Strickland just two months ago at UFC 312. Advertisement If we are looking at a more long term issue, Chimaev vs. Borralho would be a damn good replacement fight. 'Borz' has been widely hyped for years now and has been an absolute terror in his short Middleweight career, whereas Borralho is undefeated (7-0) inside the Octagon and riding the massive momentum wave of The Fighting Nerds. Expect some clarifications from the champion and promotion in the coming days. More from

Everything You Need to Know About Dominique Malonga, the Record-Setting 6-Foot-6 WNBA Phenom
If you haven't been paying attention to the 2025 WNBA draft, then you might've missed history being made. On night one of the draft, Dominique Malonga was drafted second overall to the Seattle Storm. At just 19, Malonga became the youngest to ever be drafted in the organization's almost 30-year history. The forward-center is known for her defensive abilities, standing at 6-foot-6-inches. But she has more to offer as Malonga is known for dominating all sides of the basketball court. With this star on the rise, here's some things you should absolutely know about her. Born in Cameroon On Nov. 16, 2005, Malonga was born in Yaounde, Cameroon. She was raised there until age 15 when a French requiter signed her to ASVEL Féminin, an elite French professional club, according to Essentially Sports. Despite playing for France for her professional career, Malonga still finds ways to pay homage to her home country and culture. Advertisement 'I'm so happy to represent France but not only France [also] Cameroon, Congo,' she said after she was drafted. 'I'm a multi-cultural person. I have a lot of people behind me, and I'm so proud to be here and to represent all of them,' Malonga continued. Setting Records At this year's draft, Malonga broke the record for the youngest player ever drafted to the WNBA at 19 years old and 5 months. Before her, the record had been set in 2001 by Lauren Jackson, who was drafted first overall less than month before her 20th birthday. Malonga already has the makings of a legend, and at such a young age, you can see why so many people have their eyes on her. In October 2024, Malonga made history yet again after she became the first Frenchwoman to dunk in an official basketball game, according to her bio on the Seattle Storm website. She Won an Olympic Medal At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Malonga represented France as she won a silver-medal for basketball. Funny enough, she played alongside Gabby Williams, a current forward for the Seattle Storm. Now, Williams and Malonga are teammates. Her Parents Played Basketball You can say Malonga's love for basketball is in her DNA. Both of her parents, Thalance Malonga and Agathe N'Nindjem-Yolemp, played the sport themselves, which ultimately set the stage for their daughter's major success, according to Essentially Sports. Advertisement Cameroon, where her family is originally from, also has a very prominent sporting culture, which more than likely helped to fuel Malonga's competitive nature. Clearly, family means a lot to the 19-year-old, and after being drafted to the league, it's safe to say Malonga is living the life she always dreamed of. With a story like Malonga's, it's hard not to root for the teen star. From her upbringing in Cameroon all the way to now playing professionally in the United States, the athlete has been putting in hard work, and now, it's all paying off.

Jack Nicklaus asked if he can name his 31 grandchildren, great-grandkids at Masters
In honor of the 89th Masters Tournament, golf legend Jack Nicklaus, who won the prestigious tournament a record six times, opened the event with one of the three ceremonial tee shots. Shortly after, Nicklaus, 85, joined the commentators to talk about his own memories from the Masters and those who are competing for their own coveted green jacket this week. 'We are pleased and honored to be joined by the six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus,' one of the commentators said as Nicklaus appeared on screen wearing one of his six green jackets. 'Alright, let's get one thing out of the way,' the commentator continued. 'You have two great grandchildren who are pending, right? So you have seven great grandchildren. Currently, you have 24 grandchildren and five children. 'Without (wife) Barbara's help in writing them down, could you name them all?' the commentator asked Nicklaus. 'Off the top of your head.' 'Sure, of course,' Nicklaus told them nonchalantly. 'You got 10 minutes?' he joked. 'That's impressive. That's all pretty impressive.' Nicklaus and his wife Barbara have been married since he was 20 years old in 1960 after meeting as freshmen at Ohio State University, according to Essentially Sports. Together, the couple welcomed five children: Jack Nicklaus Jr., Gary Nicklaus, Nancy O'Leary, Michael Nicklaus and Steven Nicklaus. Gary was the only one of their children who pursued gold professionally. In 2018, while a guest on The 19th Hole podcast, Barbara admitted she didn't know much about golf when she met her husband. 'Golf wasn't a real popular sport back then, particularly in high school. So, I didn't really know anything about it when I met him, and we dated.' In his 2007 book, 'Jack Nicklaus: Memories and Mementos from Golf's Golden Bear,' Nicklaus said his wife was the best thing to ever happen to him. 'All these years later, with all the good things that have happened to me, I still believe that Barbara has been the most precious gift in my life. She has been my foundation, my voice of reason, my sounding board, my biggest supporter, my best friend and the love of my life.' In 2021, their oldest child praised his parents for always making their family a priority. Nicklaus famously made it a rule that he would never be away from his wife and kids for more than two weeks at a time. 'It's amazing to me that with all the commitments that my mom and dad still have at the age of 81, but even throughout their career, when Dad was traveling all over the world, they were always there for us,' Jack Jr. told 'We always felt like we were their number one priority.'
