Djokovic is the player with the biggest prize money, taking inflation into account
Novak Djokovic is the player with the biggest prize money in tennis. The winner of 24 Grand Slams has taken home $185 million, and according to Forbes, taking inflation into account, that figure would rise to $211 million.
The second player in this ranking is Roger Federer, with an actual win of 130 million and 171 million according to Forbes.
Rounding off the podium is Rafael Nadal, who earned $134 million over the course of his career, which with inflation equates to $162 million.
Taking inflation into account, this ranking greatly enhances the earnings of former tennis glories such as Pete Sampras, who won $43 million and, with conversion, earned $77 million, or Andre Agassi with $57 million versus the official $31 million.
