Analyzing the richest players in different sports is always a fun task. However, the most successful athletes are often not the richest in their respective sports. For tennis, career prize money would undoubtedly put Novak Djokovic on the top spot. But, when we add the inherited income, he falls behind the American number 1.

Jessica Pegula’s father Terry Pegula is an American billionaire who owns Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League. Home to one of the most famous business executives in America, the Pegula family’s wealth knows no bounds. As a result, Pegula also owns a good amount of heavily priced possessions. A certain possession of the American goes on trump Djokovic quite significantly.

Tennis players and their love for watches go way back. Many players don them while taking the court. While some would delay their on-court interviews to put them on after their matches. Pegula and Djokovic both happen to be watch enthusiasts. But how would you compare the market value of their possessions?

At the ongoing US Open, Jessica Pegula has stunned the fans with her racket brilliance. However, a certain addition to her kit went under the radar. The American has been donning De Bethune’s DB28xs Sarry Seas watch, which is valued at a whopping $90,000. Pegula took to her Instagram to flex her valuable possession. She had also flexed the watch on her previous Instagram posts. Today, she reposted De Bethune’s official account on her story after receiving a shout-out.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic falls behind in this department. Despite being the highest prize money earner in tennis, his watch is valued at about $21,000. Hubolt specifically created the Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 for the Serbinator. However, despite Djokovic’s unparalleled success, his watch fails to dominate the tennis world like the 23-time major champion.
