As is the case with every sporting discipline, the major tournaments in tennis are not just platforms for the juggernauts of the sport to assert their dominance; the rising stars also get a stage to showcase their might. At Wimbledon 2024, one such individual who is getting his moment under the sun is Alex de Minaur.
Even though he has been in the professional tennis circuit for nearly a decade, it was only after 2020 that people started to take note of de Minaur. In the past few years, the Australian has been steadily climbing up the ladder of the ATP Tour. He even broke into the top 10 of the men’s singles rankings for the first time in June 2024.
However, life has been difficult for de Minaur in the Grand Slams. His best finishes have been in the quarter-finals of both the US Open (in 2020) and the French Open (in 2024). The picture was bleaker in Wimbledon — he has never been able to get past the fourth round. Well, that is till 2024.
One of the top seeds in Wimbledon 2024, the Aussie emerged victorious in a long-drawn fourth-round match against Frenchman Arthur Fils. With a scoreline of 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, de Minaur slayed the ‘Last 8 Demon’ to set up a quarter-final clash with Novak Djokovic.
As the world of tennis celebrates the rise of a new superstar, we delve deep into the net worth of Alex de Minaur, his career earnings, house, cars and endorsements.
Tennis, as a sport, is highly rewarding to its players. Over the years, we have seen the likes of Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal rank among the richest athletes in the world. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the rising Australian star has made a decent fortune. But exactly how much is his valuation?
According to a report by CAKnowledge, Alex de Minaur, in 2024, enjoys a net worth of USD 4 million (around SGD 5.4 million).
While he cannot be counted among the richest tennis players, we need to take into account that de Minaur has yet to reach a Grand Slam final. However, given his meteoric rise in the past few years, it is only a matter of time before the Aussie breaks into that list, provided he maintains his upward trajectory.
A common misconception about tennis players is that they are on a fixed pay scale. But nothing can be farther from the truth. Like every other tennis player, Alex de Minaur does not receive a salary from any federation. So how do they earn their bread?
Albeit not a Grand Slam winner, Alex de Minaur has won nine professional titles under the tutelage of his long-time coach Adolfo Gutierrez. Such widespread success inevitably comes with substantial monetary benefits.
According to the ATP Tour’s official website, Alex de Minaur has earned a little over USD 13.6 million in his professional career to date. In 2024 alone, his earnings stand at an estimated USD 2.4 million in men’s singles.
Born in Australia, Alex de Minaur lived with his family in Sydney’s Carss Park. At the age of five, he relocated with his family to Alicante, Spain. He resided in Europe for the next eight years before shifting back to Australia. De Minaur holds the citizenship of both Australia and Spain.
The tennis star’s house in Carss Park sports a wooden exterior texture. It also has a garage and a driveway. According to an interview with ATP Tour, de Minaur said that he spent a lot of time in his childhood playing tennis in the garage. The house is within walking distance from the local tennis court where the player practised for a long time.
In addition, de Minaur has a listed residence with the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in New Providence, the most populous island in The Bahamas. However, not a lot of information about this vacation home is available in the public domain.
Like many famous sports personalities, Alex de Minaur has a penchant for cars. Here are some of the best automobiles in his garage:
The most prized possession of Alex de Minaur is a 1973 Mini 850 Deluxe. A vintage car, this green-coloured vehicle runs on a 1.3-litre engine. It is a four-speed manual transmission drive with a top speed of 140 kilometres per hour.
Even though there is no AC or radio in the car, de Minaur is very fond of it. “At the moment I have a wireless Bluetooth speaker, which I’ve got in the backseat. And that’s how I get my music,” he said in an interview with TENNIS.com.
The car is valued between USD 10,000 and USD 15,000.
One of the finest sports cars made by Audi, the R8 in Alex de Minaur’s collection is fitted with a powerful 5.2-litre engine that can produce up to 602 horsepower. It comes with the brand’s trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system.
The Audi R8 can clock up to 316 kilometres per hour and sports a price tag of USD 250,000.
Arguably the finest sports car in Alex de Minaur’s garage, the Lamborghini Aventador is a beast. Under the hood, it comes with a 6.2-litre V12 engine that can produce up to 730 horsepower.
When pushed to its limit, the Aventador can record up to 350 kilometres per hour. This four-wheel drive is priced at USD 550,000 (approximately).
An automobile worthy of the tag of a luxury car, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all about comfort. It comes with seats made of upholstery leather and is equipped with 12-inch central and driver displays.
The car is powered by a 3-litre V8 engine that can produce up to 362 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in just five seconds and offers a top speed of 250 kilometres per hour. This vehicle is valued at around USD 130,000.
After almost 10 years in professional tennis, Alex de Minaur has secured endorsements from numerous global brands, significantly boosting his overall earnings.
Japanese multinational sportswear manufacturer Asics has a sponsorship deal in place with the Australian tennis star for his on-field shoes and apparel. Likewise, American sports equipment manufacturer Wilson supplies de Minaur with tennis racquets as part of a contract.
In addition, de Minaur has brand deals with Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer (since 2019) and investment house FairMarkets (since 2022). He is also the brand ambassador of the multivitamin brand Swissie Wellness.
