How much is Steffi Graf Worth? Steffi Graf Net Worth in 2026
Steffi Graf’s net worth is estimated at $75 million as of November 2026, counting her own money and not her husband Andre Agassi’s. She won 22 Grand Slam singles titles and $21.9 million in prize money, which by our math works out to about $995,000 of career prize money per major. Graf’s fortune came from sponsors and from 27 years of patience after she stopped.

How much is Steffi Graf worth in 2026?
We put her at $75 million. The firm numbers are her prize money and four years of published athlete earnings rankings from the early 1990s. Everything else, the unranked years, her post-1999 deals and how her savings grew, is our assumption, so this is a rough estimate. The bigger figure often quoted for her is a household number shared with Agassi.
Building her half of the house
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Ranked years: 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 | $13.3 million | $6.1 million, $7.3 million, $9.8 million and $8 million in four annual rankings, $31.2 million gross. We keep 42.5%: our assumption of 15% for agents, then about 50% German income tax. |
| Unranked playing years, 1986 to 1999 | $21.3 million | Our assumption: $8 million in 1992, just under the $8.5 million that made tenth that year; $3 million a year for 1986 to 1989; $6 million a year for 1995 to 1999. $50 million gross, kept at 42.5%. |
| Deals and exhibitions since 1999 | $13.5 million | Our assumption: $1 million a year gross for 27 years, kept at 50%. Includes the 2026 Lidl deal, whose fee is not public. |
| Growth on savings since 2000 | $53.2 million | Our assumption: $30 million invested at 4% a year after tax for 26 years, a gain of 177%. |
| Living costs, her share | minus $27 million | Our assumption: $1 million a year for 27 years. |
| Total | $75 million | $74.3 million before rounding. |
What the rankings show
Annual lists of the best-paid athletes, covering salaries, prize money, endorsements and appearance fees, had Graf as the top woman at 13th in 1990 with $6.1 million, then 16th in 1991 with $7.3 million. In 1992 she missed the top 10, which closed with Monica Seles at $8.5 million. She was back at 15th in 1993 with $9.8 million, her best ranked year, and 19th in 1994 with $8 million.
Our calculation: those four years add up to $31.2 million, already about 42% more than her whole career prize money. Sponsors, not tournaments, paid for most of her career.
The longest stay at the top
Graf held No. 1 for 377 weeks, including 186 in a row from August 1987 to March 1991. She won seven Wimbledon titles, six French Opens, five US Opens and four Australian Opens, and announced her retirement on August 13, 1999, at 30, while ranked third. Since then she has raised money for Children for Tomorrow, the foundation she started, partly through exhibitions such as a 2004 match in Berlin against Gabriela Sabatini.
Back in an advert at 56
In February 2026 Lidl signed her as the face of Crivit, its sportswear range, for a campaign across more than 30 countries. The fee was not disclosed. It is the clearest sign in years that her name still sells, and the only dated 2026 money event we could confirm.
Why other estimates disagree
The bigger figures often quoted for Graf are joint numbers for her and Agassi. Counting only her own earnings, as we do here, roughly halves them.
What would move the figure
A disclosed value for the Lidl contract would replace one of our guesses with a fact. So would any record of how the couple divides its property and investments, since we split the household evenly by assumption.
