Arthur Fery, the 23-year-old British qualifier making waves at Wimbledon, is already the wealthiest British tennis player thanks to his family's fortune. His father, Loic Fery, a former finance executive, has an estimated net worth of £275 million, ranking 398th richest in France in 2023. Loic owned and presided over Ligue 1 side FC Lorient from 2009 until earlier this year.
Fery attended a prestigious private school in Wimbledon with annual fees of £33,000 before earning a tennis scholarship to Stanford University in the United States. Reflecting on his time there, Fery said: "Yeah, spent three years at Stanford as a transition after my career as a junior. Really loved it. Don't regret it at all. I came out with a lot of hunger and was ready to attack the pro circuit. Learnt a lot. Made some great friends. The coaches are awesome, and obviously it was a great academic school, as well. Provided me with a backup in case tennis didn't work out."
Prize Money and Wimbledon Earnings
To date, Fery has accumulated £650,000 ($868,000) in ATP Tour prize money. His run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals guarantees at least £480,000, with a potential £900,000 minimum if he defeats Flavio Cobolli on Centre Court on Wednesday evening.
His family's wealth dwarfs that of other British tennis stars. Andy Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion, has a net worth of £110 million according to Forbes, while US Open 2021 champion Emma Raducanu, with lucrative sponsorships from Dior, Porsche, and British Airways, holds a net worth of £13.5 million.
Background and Education
Fery's father, Loic, built his fortune in finance before acquiring FC Lorient in 2009. The family's wealth allowed Arthur to attend elite schools and pursue tennis without financial pressure. His Stanford scholarship further developed his game and provided academic security.
