One of the top seeds at this year's Wimbledon stands to inherit billions, with her eye-watering net worth being more than Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic combined.

Emma Navarro, the 24-year-old New York native who is currently seeded 10th in the women’s singles rankings, recorded a convincing 6-3, 6-1 win over two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova on Tuesday.

It has been a season to remember for Navarro, who was named the ‘Most Improved Player’ at the WTA awards, just days after beating Jessica Pegula in a match that was dubbed 'the battle of the billionaires'.

That's right. Navarro is sitting on a £3 billion inheritance, according to Forbes, as she is the daughter of wealthy businessman Ben Navarro and the grand-daughter of former American football player Frank Navarro.

A former Citigroup vice president, Ben Navarro founded Sherman Financial Group in 1998 and built it into a credit card and debt collection empire.

A report from Forbes suggests Navarro, 62, has forked out more than $350 million buying up property around Charleston, including a stadium and the city's biggest hotel.

He also spent nearly $300 million to buy the Western & Southern Open, a major tennis tournament.

Emma Navarro, meanwhile, is keen to distance herself from the billionaire tag that has followed her career.

Ahead of her first round game against Kvitova at Wimbledon, she opened up on her unique upbringing.

"I don’t read anything. I don’t read the comments, the articles, any of that stuff," she said in an interview with Tatler magazine. "I don’t know what the fans are saying.

"There will be headlines and they kind of mention that [her father’s billionaire status] which is fine, but I didn’t grow up being handed things. We grew up in a sort of traditional way.

"We’d get up at 6am on a Saturday morning and go play tennis... growing up it was a priority that we learnt toughness and we learnt work ethic and how to be intentional and purposeful and live productive lives so I don’t love being referred to as whoever with however-much-money’s daughter."

She added: "It’s a label I don’t really like."

Navarro's prize money on the WTA Tour to date currently stands at $4,637,393 (£3,376,381). She has also won two titles – the 2024 Hobart International and 2025 Merida Open.
