Novak Djokovic to leave behind $11,530,000 asset in major family decision with wife and kids – Reports
Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, is reportedly set to make Greece his permanent home after retiring from tennis, a major family decision involving his wife Jelena and children Stefan and Tara, according to Greek media outlet Protothema.gr, per Sportskeeda. The move would see Djokovic leave behind his luxurious nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom Marbella mansion, valued at $11.53 million, which features a game room, spa, and tennis court, per Sportskeeda. The Serbian star, who lived in the Spanish property during the pandemic, reportedly met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in June 2025, securing a “Golden Visa” for a five-year residence permit, per Sportskeeda.
The decision stems partly from a strained relationship with the Serbian government, exacerbated by Djokovic’s public support for student protests against President Aleksandar Vučić’s regime in late 2024, where he wrote on X, “As someone who deeply believes in the power of youth… their voices [must] be heard,” per Sportskeeda. Protothema.gr suggests this political rift has prompted Djokovic to seek a new base in Greece, where he has a history of warm relations, including a 14-match rivalry with Stefanos Tsitsipas, per Sportskeeda. Despite owning a $675,000 Belgrade penthouse and a tennis center in Serbia, Djokovic’s focus appears to be shifting abroad, per Irish Star.
With a net worth of $240 million, bolstered by $186 million in career prize money and endorsements from Lacoste, Hublot, and Asics, Djokovic’s move reflects strategic planning, per Celebrity Net Worth. X posts, like @TennisWorldUSA, speculate on his post-retirement life, noting, “Djokovic’s Greece move could signal a new chapter,” per @TennisWorldUSA. While he eyes Wimbledon 2025 and the 2028 Olympics, this relocation could redefine his legacy off the court, per Express.
