Andy Murray Reveals ‘Worst Financial Decision’ He Regretted Months Later

Tennis legend Andy Murray has revealed his worst financial decision that he regretted just months later.

During an illustrious career that spanned 19 years, Murray won three Grand Slam titles.

After winning his first at the 2012 US Open, the Brit won the Wimbledon title in 2013 and 2016.

Murray also managed to win two Olympic gold medals, during London 2012 and Rio 2016.

In total, Murray won 46 career titles and has a win record of 73.8%.

Since retiring in 2024, Murray momentarily dived into the world of coaching, having become Novak Djokovic's coach at the start of the year.

However, the pair ended their working relationship in May.

In his career, Murray reportedly earned more than $64 million in prize money.

During a recent interview with I Paper, Murray explained the worst financial decision he's ever made.

He said: "My worst financial decision was buying a fancy car – a Ferrari – when I was younger. I never ended up driving it. I sold it about three months after I bought it.

"A few of my friends said I should buy a fancy car and I thought why not? But when I got it, I regretted it. I’m not hugely into cars. I’ll happily drive anything."

Looking ahead, it appears that going back on tour as a tennis coach is not on Murray's agenda.

The 38-year-old added: "Right now, I just want to be around for my kids. I don’t think it’s the easiest time for kids growing up with the problems associated with screens, phones, and social media. I think it’s a little bit tricky to navigate.

"My ambition is to try and be a good dad and a good husband, and when the kids are more grown up and are able to take care of themselves then I’ll focus a little bit more on what I want to do with that stage of my life. But right now, I’m really happy doing what I’m doing. It’s a big responsibility bringing up children."

Perhaps unsurpisingly, Murray chose the London Olympics in 2012 as the moment he would want to relive again.

He said: "If I could go back and relive a moment in my career it would probably be the London Olympics. There was a lot of positivity around the country and it was the most fun I had on a tennis court in my career."
