We are taking a closer look at what makes Federer a successful player in the world of business.

#federer #tennis #billionaire
The best business move he ever made was to continue playing the game
Yes and the beautiful thing about that is that he didn't do it for business.
PTbench 100% facts
Spam Mail For us who love him sure but for his money doesn't change too much.😉 I'm sorry for my "google-eng" but I want to say my opinion because I don't think people have clear the Federer money-value and now that him won against Nike (the RF brand) the value is even more; anyway Federer will continue to be a Rolex, Mercedes, Moet-chandon, Barilla, Uniqlo (etc) man even when doesn't play more (probably re-discussing some contracts). Not to mention the agency who founded with his agent (the one that organizes the Laver cup to understand); in short he already is a billionaire (and I'm sure he will use this money in the right way because is smart but a good man also).
@@PTbench he didn't do it for a business. That is true, but it is business.
@@lazios he will be fine either way he goes. I'm just saying by him staying in the game and marketing himself was very smart
Gillette, Nike, Rolex, Mercedez, UNIQLO. He's James Bond in tennis.
Wilson, credit suisse, netjets,barilla and I'm sure there is more.
Sport is racist richest athletes are black!
@MUFC fotball is boring NBA ftw
@MUFC I give it until 2026-2030. With the world cup I think it will blossom over there.
@@plastikaaa how the hell is sport racist? Pele, tiger woods So many legends In which sport were blacks actually downgraded
Honestly, he deserves everything he has achieved. He started out working hard and becoming the GOAT of Tennis, and now he's transitioned into becoming a smart businessman.
Yes, most consider Federer the GOAT of tennis. It is either him or Nadal or Djokovic. I would personally go with Roger because he has the most Slams.
Nobody deserves a billion dollars in a world where skeletal children starve and millions of Americans are food insecure.
Jack Green unfortunately that is Capitalism
so? there are billion tennis player... but he only few than try endlessly to made as money as possible....
Yeah, he's following Michael Jordan
Hes a legend, met him while hiking in the swiss alps! Hes very humble
Christoph Ransmayr lucky!
fancy seeing you here, daily dose of internet
Spooky Stork Running Wild fr wtf
You are so lucky
Daily Dose Of Internet wait watttttt why are you here lmfao
A person like this is born once in a century.
John Mac said it so.
I would like to say millenium but then facts are facts
Covic 19 money is nothing
@@aniezaliezas6451 But you can help another people to have foods and live better this time.
@@panneetantinukul5658 you're right I like that
Love this channel
Thank you!
didnt expect you to be here
Me neither, I did not expect you to be here as well. Keep up the good work.
You're a Federer Fan :D
How can you "love" this channel? He made two big mistakes in the beginning, which would make me question everything else afterwards so I stopped watching. While Federer was close to the top in season earnings, the last time he made most money in a season was 11 years ago - in 2009. And no, he is not a second place of ATP prize money leaders because of an inflation. Even adjusted for inflation, he would still be number two. I like and respect Federer but people seem to give him way too much credit where it doesn't belong. Which makes his other, real achievements, automatically less admirable.
He's not a business man he's a business, man!
lol nice one
JayZ line on Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix
@@gusfalk JayZ line on Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix
A comma can change an entire sentence lol
He is loved everywhere. Perfect roll model.
Indeed, he's the definition of a role model.
I love people who devote their lives to medicine and saving lives or taking care of the sick/old/handicap.
Like a roll bar!
"role"
yeah perfect swiss roll
He is not just a great ambassador of tennis and a great champion but a greater human being
Federer is just larger than life.
No, he is just a person, although a great one
Normal person like everybody else. He is just playing tennis and have right people around him. It isn't magic ffs
Absolutely
Hmhmhm uhhUhuh do you even play tennis?
Everyone will pass and you cannot take anything with you.
Imagine Federer runs for Swiss prime minister 😂😂😂 that’d be amazing
If that happens it's going to be the first time someone outside of Switzerland knows their prime minister.
Santiago Bergallo haha lol that’s true 😂
he cant really run for Prime minister here in Switzerland. Or at least the system doesnt allow that directly he has to be voted as such by the federal assembly and first he would have to become one of the 7 in the federal council.
@@joelluder8549 he's in the Federer council!
I bet he could win
Being a billionaire is easy: Step 1: Be the best person who has ever touched a tennis raquet Step 2: Oh...
There is no step 2
Key point: It's his sponsorships and start up investments that enriched him. You will never become a billionaire as a tennis player alone. Better to become an entrepreneur or investor if you're mostly interested in wealth.
so, djokovic?
@@internautmedia1210 I mean, 120 million dollars in price money ain't too bad, is it? Who cares if you're not a billionaire when you can still be a multi-millionare. Didn't need any sponsorships for that. I bet most people could already fulfill most of their dreams with just _one_ million dollars.
@@novak8150 Hello 'Novak' , Meaning just what exactly ? . . .
Federer has always been very conscious of his image and brand on and off the court. Mirka & his agent Tony also have played a huge roll in his financial success!
Schumacher made me love Formula1 just like Federer made me fall in love with Tennis...When you watch both...You have the feeling you are watching something very special
Schumi was the first billionaire athlete over 15 years ago, but they didn’t include him on the list.
The wonderful Roger Federer, one of if not THE greatest player ever. A true inspiration for me as a childhood hero. :)
Me too, I hate that Serbs in my country can’t look because they are blinded because a serbian person is famous… Djokovic sucks.
That is Why i prefer djokovic and Not 40-15 Federer the businessman
@@MrBOBANRAJOVIC how does this have any relevance?
@@jaiskreno djokovic is the goat
Federer is a elegant butterfly
He's just unbeleivable.A Genius. A Brand. An Icon. A Legend. A Superstar. An Experience. A Trendsetter . A Role model.The GOAT and yet difficult to beleive that he is also just another Human Being who carries himself with Elegance, Honesty and is respectful and Friendly. I dont have any adjectives left. What the heck..I think He must be an Alien!!
your comment pretty much sums it up! lol
Your content is so unique. Can't wait until you have sponsorship. Keep this up
I was thinking just the opposite. It's interesting how our minds operate. How is this unique content? Haven't learned anything that I didn't know. On top of it, there are typos and silly statements like Roger developed an image of "the international and culture-loving person who sells pasta" .. simply, what? He did a Barilla ad, it's an ad, he did it, that's it. I watched it because I just love Roger. The great Roger Federer. So many great nights and performances
@@89strangelove your problem is that you're a fanatic. I just wanted to get some information to waste a few minutes. It turned into a nice watch. I don't give three donkeys how far up your "hoo hoo" Rodger Federers "rocket" is, this video was nice and I liked it.
@@justicesangweni4598 well nothing against you liking it, just saying that I've found it interesting that you found the most common info "original".
Roger has a powerful intelligence and an amazing memory and would make a formidable diplomat. He is clearly good at making money and I would be delighted if he also tried to make the world a better place for humans to live. 2021 is proving to be a dreadful year with Covid rampant and Afghanistan once again at the mercy of murderous fanatics . We need someone who can inspire others to stop the anger , greed and nationalism which corrodes every effort to improve conditions for the average citizen.
He's an icon at this moment, more than a sportman or human, he's a brand himself
Exactly the same as Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s more a brand himself than a footballer
@@anakinskyguy6582 Penaldo is a selfish idiot, he's nothing like Federer
@@marjansarec2337 There's a certain difference between individual and team sports.
Interesting content in video. Something fresh... Federer is unique, the way he thinks, so fluid, so relaxed, at times intuitive, at times analytical, strategic... He showed how tennis could be played without obsessively serving big. Now he is trying sports brand entrepreneurship with variations at global level. Smart.
More like greedy.
I am one of his fan off and on the court. He is genuine genius in everything he touched.
God I love this channel so much! Just wanted to press Subscribe...then stopped and remembered: "I already did"
He is a genius, on and off the court.
LOL you know. I love the content on this channel.
@MUFC tennis is more important than soccer in Australia and usa
Cringe
The best move this channel made is dissecting the video in parts and also informing the viewer about the timestamp of each part
Great video! Very informative, well thought, and you articulate your message in a fantastic way which keeps the viewer interested.
He is such an amazing human and athlete! Such a great role model who will be missed greatly when he retires from the sport! It's been inspiring to watch his journey, thank you Roger!
Loving this video...we need more amazing videos soon!
He deserves every dollar he makes. He’s the epitome of a role model you want for your kids. A legend of his sport and an intelligent businessman.
Very well put together and informative documentary. I really enjoyed it.
Great video! Almost didn’t want it to end (just like Roger’s playing years) 🙏🏼
Excellent Analysis. Well done
Awesome video!
Such an underrated channel, found it during pandemic as my love of sports (and its business) grew more .
Great Video. Thoroughly researched and pleasantly presented !
This page will be big in a years time
A remarkable human being in every facet of his life
Your channel is great man. Keep doing what you're doing. Do it consistently.
this channel is that good! keep it up guys
good video, well done!!!
very interesting video!!
really great work
Good video , dude! Mirka is behind all the important decisions making.
Nice informative video that's also entertaining as well.
Everything about Roger Federer are always very interesting and his think first before doing it will always lead him to greater success.
and yet very humble man
Literally binge watching your content. Just subscribed, keep it up.
such a great breakdown of fed the business man
Roger Federer is so inspiring just by being the man himself. His accolades speak volume but his attitude (as shown in public) is nothing but remarkable. Keep pushing boundaries and go for the long-term are what I learnt in this video.
@Christy Dolan Hi, I agree with you and appreciate your sharing from another perspective. Indeed, being in the public eye is a "game" in its own and he has played it well. And I'm sure this is together with the support and ideas of those around him. Well, I try to pick out the good things (and the bad if I'm aware) that I see and learn from them. Thanks for your honest sharing. I hear you. BE BLESSED!
Christy Dolan that doesn’t mean prostitute for corporate at all. Obviously none of us knew about that Tiger Woods scandal and he rightfully cut ties with him after knowing those things about woods. Since then now Woods is seen at box of Rafa at US Open does that mean Rafa is bad?
Christy Dolan endorsements work in both ways. The company gets benefits from emotions of people towards their favourites while athletes benefit financially as well since they aren’t going to play forever considering the physical limits in sports. Prostitution is selling yourself keeping moral values aside which isn’t done here. They don’t endorse bad or harmful things. Every athlete in every sport is involved with endorsement that doesn’t make them prostitutes imo. And if that forces them to keep the image clean than it’s rather good since so many people look up to them as role models and being a clean role model is better than abusive or disrespectful one without money. And anything when practiced over a certain amount of time becomes a habit which in his case since he is involved for more than around decade with these companies I believe is his habit to be nice and staying away from unnecessary scandals. In case of Woods more than friendship it was again because of involvement with Nike. Like before he was seen as friend of Roger in his box and after that scandal now a friend of Rafa which I don’t believe is a complete truth becoming friend of a rival suddenly while sharing endorsement with same company.
Christy Dolan I agree with all other points. The only thing my mind somehow can’t accept is calling them corporate whores since it sounds disrespectful. Though it was nice to see a different perspective.
Good video, would have added all his philanthropy work and his fund which is mainly focused on helping children in Southern Africa
That's pretty irrelevant to his fans..
Great video!
Very nice and informative video. Good job and effort. Thank you.
one of the few who fully deserves what hes got!
Defnitely the real "Maestro", 20 Grand Slam Titles, 320 Weeks on #1 Position and the first tennis player to become Billionaire :)
310 weeks
I discovered this channel a few days ago with the Red Bull empire story (which I've always admired) and I love it!
He is a genius, on and off the court.
One of the best athletes of all time
He is like the Jordan of tennis. His brand is far bigger than his game
Sammy abrams They both are legends. Nobody will have such an impact in sport like they did with tennis and basketball. If you think they are overrated...well, this is your deal.
@@federicozucchero6770 I don't think he's necessarily overrated however there are players who are playing as well as him and better who are not getting that level of admiration and sponsorship dollars so he's not just getting paid for playing tennis. His brand is earning him many times as much money.
@@araarmo Or Jordan is like Federer of basketball
This channel deserves far more viewers
That's why he is the one, and only one "MAJESTY" in Tennis. Like if you are a Federer Fan as well!
@Richard Mays Hope he can play for a few more years!
This legend deserves every bit of success!
Keep it up with the good content!
I like Roger Federer not only as a great tennis player but also a great human being. His successes as a player and as a businessman are well deserved due to his kindness, humility and dedication. Congratulations on your new endeavor!
Imagine the kind of financial planning advice her gets from his Swiss mates
Looool
Lool
Loooool
Simply the best. Forever Roger.
Love ur videos, requesting u to make more such content on more individuals, cheers
Quality content respect bro *Dave Liverpool UK* 👍🏼 Stay Safe people ❤
Taking those little business deals instead of Nike is amazing and an inspirational decision
Little deals? Lol uniqlo paying him 30mil per year
Huge potential here. Keep the good content coming 💪🏾
lmao its obvious you created these accounts to boost your channel
Love this channel ❤️
Nice Content. Subscribed.
He deserves it. Nohim. So much love

Always inspiring, in or out the court.
He's been surpassed by Novak and Rafa, but in terms of popularity he is unmatched
Rafa ahead now
