On shares had at times fallen by around 19% on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. This was triggered by the company’s quarterly results. Although On saw a significant increase in turnover, it still fell short of market expectations.
Forbes estimates Federer’s stake in On at around 2.5% to 3%. The Basel-born former tennis ace joined the company as an investor and partner in 2019.
Forbes first ranked Federer as a billionaire in 2025. In addition to his stake in On, his long-standing sponsorship deals with brands including Uniqlo, Rolex, Lindt and Mercedes-Benz contributed to his fortune.
During his tennis career, Federer also earned more than $130 million in prize money.
