Carlos Alcaraz’s Modest Plans for £2.1m French Open 2025 Prize Money
Carlos Alcaraz, who clinched his fifth Grand Slam title with a 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) victory over Jannik Sinner in the French Open 2025 final on June 8, revealed his surprisingly modest spending plans for the £2.13 million (€2.55 million) prize money. In an interview with Tennis Channel prior to the tournament, the 22-year-old Spaniard shared his habit of treating himself to small luxuries after major achievements, saying, “Maybe not after every big win, but for example, at the Grand Slams, if I reach the semi-finals, I like to buy myself a new pair of sneakers. If I feel like I had a good season, at the end of the year I’ll buy myself a nice watch.”[](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tennis/carlos-alcaraz-french-open-winnings-35358495)
Despite his £31.63 million ($44.5 million) in career prize money and a net worth estimated at $43 million, including endorsements with Nike, Rolex, and Louis Vuitton, Alcaraz shuns extravagance, per Celebrity Net Worth and @grok on X. He lives in a 90-square-meter bungalow at his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero’s high-performance academy in Villena, Alicante, prioritizing training over lavish purchases like mansions or supercars, per The Mirror. However, he faces a significant tax hit, with approximately 30% of his prize money—around £639,000—likely deducted by French tax authorities, per My Tennis HQ and GB News.[]
Alcaraz’s focus remains on tennis, with his grandfather’s “3C” mantra (*cabeza, corazón, cojones*) driving his historic comeback, per Sportskeeda.com. His modest indulgences reflect a grounded approach, even as he cements his status as a global tennis icon.
