"It's a label I don't really like," Navarro honest about her father's wealth

In an interview shared by *Tennis Up To Date*, Emma Navarro addressed comments regarding her father’s fortune. While she has no issue with it being discussed, the player doesn’t agree when some label her as privileged:

"I don’t read anything—not the comments, not the articles. I don’t know what the fans are saying. There are messages that mention my father’s status, which is fine, but I didn’t grow up being handed things. We were raised in a traditional way.

We woke up at 6 a.m. on Saturdays to go play tennis. We were taught first and foremost about toughness, work ethic, determination, and productivity. So it’s a label I don’t really like."

For context, her father, Ben Navarro, is a businessman, founder, and CEO of Sherman Financial Group, one of the largest buyers of consumer debt in the United States. According to a *Forbes* 2025 report, the company is worth over $4.8 billion.
