The Lucrative Endorsement Deals of Tennis Star Roger Federer: A Closer Look at His 10-Year Contract with Credit Suisse

After his triumph at Roland-Garros, the then 28-year-old athlete launched his career as an advertising medium and major earner. The contract with Credit Suisse was designed for ten years, in 2019 it was extended by another ten years. That was to the liking of the bank, which was still making a profit of 3.4 billion that year, and it was also in the spirit of Federer, who focuses on the long term in his sponsorship contracts – on terms of five, ten or even thirty years (Uniqlo ). The CS contract brought Federer 6 million francs every year, sources say. It was structured in a complex way, part of the sum – exactly: 1 million dollars – went to the Roger Federer Foundation account from 2011.
