Photos prove icon worth $850m has won life

Roger Federer is living his best life. The Swiss tennis legend has been enjoying retirement since hanging up his racquet in 2022, and he is making the most of the European summer. Federer was spotted this week soaking in some rays in Saint Tropez on the French Riviera with his wife Mirka and their four children. Roger and Mirka met playing for Switzerland at the Sydney Olympics and teamed up at the 2002 Hopman Cup. They have two sets of twins — identical twin girls Myla and Charlene and fraternal twin boys Leo and Lenny. Federer famously made hearts swoon around the world when he injured his knee while running a bath for his daughters during the 2016 Australian Open. The Federers are enjoying the good life, taking a dip in the Mediterranean waters on a family holiday. Roger, 43, could be seen sporting olive green board shorts and a healthy rug of chest air on his 'dad bod' as he dried off after a dip in the ocean. With one of his sons hanging off his shoulders, Federer looked like he was living his best life as the family hung out in the water. The 20-time grand slam champion appears to be nailing retirement in the years since he called time on his tennis career. Federer is still an ambassador for Japanese apparel giant Uniqlo, with whom he signed a 10-year, $300 million deal in 2018 after departing from his longtime sponsor Nike. He still continues a partnership with luxury watch brand Rolex that stretches back to 2001. Federer is estimated to have a net worth of approximately A$850 million and has built his fortune in recent years as a key investor in Swiss shoe brand ON Running. A regular attendee at the Met Gala, he also attended the Academy Awards earlier this year and was at the French Open last month to honour his old rival Rafael Nadal. Federer, Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic reunited at Roland Garros as a permanent plaque featuring Nadal's foot was unveiled on centre court in honour of the 14-time French Open winner. The greatest of all time (GOAT) debate will continue to rage, especially with Djokovic set to finish his career on 24 grand slam singles titles, equal with Australia's Margaret Court. The decider is considered one of the greatest ever matches — ranked alongside Djokovic's 2019 Wimbledon win over Federer, Nadal's 2008 Wimbledon victory over Federer, the marathon 2012 Australian Open final between Djokovic and Nadal, and John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg's Wimbledon thriller in 1980.
