What are Roger Federer's total earnings?

Answer 1

From NT Herald Tribune ' Roger Federer became the ATP Tour's career leader in prize money Thursday, topping $43.3 million to overtake Pete Sampras. Federer, a 13-time Grand Slam champion, set the earnings total with his 6-4, 6-1 win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga that put him in the Madrid Masters quarterfinals. "It's not very special," Federer said. "It's very nice to have records. Sure, money is important in life but it's not everything." The five-time Wimbledon champion's total is now $43,317,870. Sampras, who won a record 14 Grand Slams, held the mark at $43,280,489****. Federer, who turned pro 10 years ago, paid homage to the tennis stars before him. Top-ranked Rafael Nadal is the only other active player on the top-10 career earnings list, but he has won less than half of Federer's total. Federer has been the season's leading money winner for five straight seasons but could be displaced by Nadal. Sampras and Ivan Lendl topped the list six times, but never five straight.' This is just his Macth winnings. I think I'm right in saying that in 2008 alone he earned approximately a further $23million from sponsorship and endorsements. ****I would be interested to know how this rates if Sampras's earnings were adjusted for inflation at today's prices.
