Pegula-Navarro: the $15 billion match

As the US Open enters its final stretch with the quarter-finals being held. Today, there will be a match of billionaires. Specifically, the one between two American tennis players: Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro. Despite having earned significant prize money throughout their careers and having good sponsors, the economic empires they have behind them are due to their families.

Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula have two billionaire families backing them

Emma Navarro is the daughter of Ben Navarro, a successful businessman and founder of the financial services company Sherborne Investors and the Credit One Bank group. Moreover, he is the owner of the WTA 500 in Charleston and the Cincinnati tournament, which is a Masters 1000 and WTA 1000. In fact, the organization of the Ohio tournament valued the purchase at 260 million euros. Meanwhile, his total net worth is estimated at 3.2 billion dollars.

But Jessica Pegula, not to be outdone, surpasses this figure. The world number three is the daughter of Terry Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Bills (NFL football) and the Buffalo Sabres (NHL hockey). However, most of his fortune comes from East Resources, his company dedicated to natural gas extraction. Terry Pegula's total net worth is estimated at 11.8 billion dollars.

This means that the combination of both families amounts to a stunning 15 billion dollars. A figure that is practically impossible to surpass. For context, the combined total net worth of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafa Nadal is 1.5 billion dollars. A difference of 13.5 billion dollars.
