Billions on the Line: The Bizarre Intersection of Wealth and Tennis The US Open's "Battle of the Billionaires" was a marketing gimmick that served as a stark reminder of the role of family wealth in professional sports.

The combined estimated wealth of the two families is around $15 billion, drawing comparisons to the so called "big three" in men's tennis: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.
