How much is Novak Djokovic worth?
Novak Djokovic net worth according to Forbes 2021 is estimated at $220 million. The Serbian tennis player is one of the richest athletes in the world. Born on the 22nd of May, 1987, Djokovic is widely considered one of the all-time tennis players. He became the first tennis player in 2016 to hold all 4 major trophies on 3 separate surfaces.
Novak Djokovic is also the first tennis player in the men category to emerge winner in all 9 Masters 1000 Tournaments. His rivalry with Rafael Nadal will go down as one of the most exciting in the history of the sport.
Since becoming a professional tennis player in 2003, he has won over $145 million in prizes from victories and titles. No doubt, Novak Djokovic is the highest earning tennis player ever especially when you are talking of money made from the courts. He also set a record in 2012 as the highest amount made in a single season. A whopping $12 million!
Djokovic makes tons of money from endorsement deals. He signed an eight million euro deal with Uniqlo, which will run for a period of 5 years. He also has sponsorship deals with top brands like Seiko, Peugeot, Lacoste and Mercedes-Benz.
Naomi Osaka net worth
Naomi Osaka is one of the highest paid tennis players in the world right now. Osaka tennis player became the first tennis player in all categories from Asia to top the world rankings. This came after she took the number one spot in 2019 in the WTA’s rankings.
The Japanese-American Tennis player in the female category is said to worth around $25 million. That may be miles behind Djokovic in terms of wealth but considering how much she made in recent years, it is not far from possibility of catching up with the Serbian ace. She made a staggering $40 million between June in 2019 and June in 2020.
Naomi Osaka was born in October 1997 in Osaka, Japan. It is quite interesting knowing that her family name is the same with her place of birth. She became a professional tennis player in 2013. That is another area where you have to give her a break since Djokovic began as a pro player in 2003. She defeated Serena Williams at the 2018 US Open, which began her journey to the top of the ladder.
Naomi Osaka has 2 WTA titles and got to the number 7 spot when she won the US open in 2018. In 2020, she won a cash prize of $3 million after emerging the winner of the 2020 US open.

Naomi Osaka cars
Well, much isn’t known about what Naomi Osaka owns in her garage. Luckily, there is no way we can miss the custom Nissan GT-R given to her by the Japanese carmaker.
Since she is an ambassador to Nissan, we expect nothing less from the carmaker.
The car Nissan GT-R Nismo was reportedly given to her in 2018 to celebrate her victory at the US Open. We learnt she chose the colour for her special GT-R car. In case you are wondering what colour she picked. Well, she went for Midnight Opal.
- Naomi Osaka private jet
With her net worth, we doubt if she can afford to splurge her entire net worth on a private jet. However, she still finds time to travel in style. Hopefully, in the near future, she can decide to add a private jet to her collection.
Verdict
Truthfully, there is no basis for comparison here. The duo are doing exceptionally well in their career. While Djokovic has been a professional tennis player way before Naomi Osaka began high school, they both stole the show at the 2021 Australian open. The sky they say is the beginning of an exciting tennis career for Naomi Osaka.
