Heiress to $6,700,000,000 Fortune, American Tennis Star Clearly Puts Wimbledon Over Family Inheritances As She Makes Giant Revelation

The 29-year-old American tennis star Jessica Pegula, an heir to a billion-dollar family fortune, has enough money in her bank account to lead a pretty opulent life without playing professional tennis. Though her father, a billionaire, owns the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, she chose not to pursue her family’s business. She is, in fact, the daughter of Terry and Kim Pegula, well-known NFL and NHL tycoons in America.

Despite having everything at her fingertips, the American tennis player has picked her own life path. She has made a reputation for herself in the tennis world, and she is currently the fourth-best WTA tennis player in the world at the age of 29. And today, she lost in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. A few days ago, when she made it to the quarterfinals, she made the rather audacious claim that nothing in her life is more important than winning a Grand Slam tournament, especially Wimbledon.

Jessica Pegula was ready to sacrifice a lot for a Wimbledon title

In the tennis world, Pegula is well known for being the ‘world’s richest tennis player.’ While everyone has made her career about money, there is only one thing that she wants. Unfortunately, she lost her chance to win Wimbledon after coming so close to the title. The 29-year-old recently talked about whether she would trade $6.7 billion for a Grand Slam title.

After the fourth round, in the post-match press conference, a British press member questioned her family’s worth and her billionaire status. She said, “It would be nice if people didn’t say that. But do I really care? Not really. I don’t really think it matters how much money you have. It would be great to win Wimbledon, ’cause then I would also have a lot of money from winning Wimbledon. I think I would trade, yes. I think that would be, probably better.”

After shrugging off her billionaire status, she said that her next objective is to ascend the rankings as quickly as possible by taking small steps. Not only that, a few days ago, she talked about her idea of earning more money, rather than going for her family’s fortune.

Even after coming from an incredibly wealthy background, the 29-year-old has always tried to be down-to-earth. And last year, when a similar question was raised about being more privileged than other tennis players, here is what she had to say.

Pegula tries to be a down-to-earth person

The WTA world number four, in an interview with Sportskeeda last year, acknowledged the fact that she was probably more privileged than others because of her background. Along with that, she stated that even after being very privileged, she has always tried hard to be as humble as possible.

Further, she detailed how maybe her answers regarding her wealth are not the story that people would like to listen to. As they are mostly into the other aspects of her life rather than her tennis talent. Well, she also stated that as a tennis player, she has also earned a lot of people’s respect and love as her own.
