$25 Million Worth Stefanos Tsitsipas Shares Hilarious Take on the True Value of Money

Stefanos Tsitsipas is not your typical tennis star, and his social media presence proves it. Unlike many of his peers who focus on match highlights, training sessions, or travel snapshots, Tsitsipas uses his account as a personal journal. This unique approach lets fans see the real person behind the athlete. His latest tweet about money has caught many off guard and sparked plenty of laughs. So what did he say?

Recently, the Greek tennis star took to X and shared his thoughts on money in a way that left fans laughing. “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ clearly never paid to skip the ads on a streaming service,” he wrote. His witty remark instantly resonated with followers who know the struggle of sitting through endless ads.

Speaking of money, the World No.11 is doing just fine in that department. His career prize money has now reached an incredible $30,360,563, thanks to his triumph at the Monte Carlo Masters last year. This milestone makes him the first tennis player born after 1998—male or female—to cross the $30 million mark in earnings. Off the court, Tsitsipas has a lineup of lucrative sponsorship deals. He is signed with Adidas for apparel, while Wilson provides his tennis equipment. His brand partnerships don’t stop there—New Balance, Rolex, Rexona, and Red Bull are all part of his growing endorsement portfolio. The Greek tennis player reportedly has a net worth of $25 million.

While he enjoys a comfortable life now. Such was not the case in the early days of his career. In an interview with Guardian in 2024, the 26-year-old tennis player revealed, “Obviously tennis is expensive and my father was struggling. The banks wouldn’t let him withdraw X amount of money each day so it was very stressful for him.”

However, Tsitsipas was determined to make it. He further added, “As a kid, I felt it, but I had so much belief in my skills that I was determined to make it, to give my parents a better life.” So now, it’s safe to say his money doesn’t jingle-jingle, it folds. But he’s also been spending some of it in an unexpected way. How? Apparently, on broken rackets.!

Stefanos Tsitsipas reveals his costly habit of breaking rackets

Stefanos Tsitsipas’ recent form has taken a dip, with early exits in multiple tournaments. Frustration has clearly been building, leading to some heated moments on the court. And he just admitted to having a habit that’s getting quite expensive.

During the Dubai Tennis Championships, the Greek tennis sensation played a round of “Never Have I Ever” in a lighthearted interview. When asked, “Never have I ever broken something expensive?” he didn’t hesitate. “A tennis racket,” he replied. But the real surprise came when he was asked just how many he had broken. With a laugh, he confessed, “Probably under 20. Let’s say under 30 just to be safe.”

After crashing out in the first round of both the Australian Open and the Qatar Open, he is looking for redemption in Dubai. The former World No. 2 has reached the quarterfinals, where he will face Matteo Berrettini on February 27. Tsitsipas is still searching for his first title since Monte Carlo last April. More importantly, he hasn’t won a tournament on hard courts since Los Cabos in 2023.

With a tough challenge ahead, he’ll need to keep his emotions in check. Will he finally get back to winning, or will his struggles continue?
