Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, has seen her net worth skyrocket to an estimated £13.5 million ($18 million USD) as she prepares to chase a second title at Flushing Meadows, starting August 24, 2025. The 22-year-old British tennis star, whose historic win as a qualifier four years ago captivated the world, has leveraged her on-court success and marketability to build a financial empire through prize money and lucrative endorsements, despite recent struggles with form and injuries.
Financial Rise and Business Acumen
Raducanu’s wealth stems from her company, Harbour 6, which reported a £5 million profit in 2024, equating to roughly £100,000 weekly, according to The Sun. The firm, where she serves as sole director, holds £13.5 million in assets, primarily in cash, though it faces £1.5 million in bills, including £1.2 million in corporation tax. Her prize money totals $5.5 million, with $2.8 million from her US Open triumph, but endorsements dwarf these earnings. Forbes reported $12 million in off-court earnings in 2024 from brands like Nike, Wilson, British Airways, Dior, Tiffany & Co., HSBC, and Evian. Sports marketing expert Nigel Currie praised her team’s savvy, noting, “Emma capitalised brilliantly on her 2021 win. Her talent and charisma make her a sponsor’s dream.”
On-Court Challenges and 2025 Outlook
Since her 2021 US Open victory, Raducanu’s career has been hampered by injuries, including wrist and ankle surgeries in 2023, and inconsistent form, with her WTA ranking dropping to No. 39 as of August 2025. Her 2025 season showed promise with a Miami Open quarterfinal and Billie Jean King Cup wins, but losses like a first-round US Open exit to Sofia Kenin in 2024 highlight her struggles. Now coached by Francisco Roig, formerly Rafael Nadal’s mentor, Raducanu faces a tough draw, potentially meeting Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals. She remains optimistic, stating, “I’m tougher than people think. The US Open brings out something special” (E! News).
Broader Context
Raducanu’s financial success mirrors that of peers like Coco Gauff, navigating coaching changes, or Luke Littler, thriving in darts. Her marketability, boosted by a 2.5 million Instagram following, contrasts with on-court inconsistency, drawing comparisons to Iga Swiatek’s £17.5 million net worth. Fan sentiment on X reflects hope, with one post stating, “Emma’s got
