Roger Federer showcases business side by turning 50 million into 300

Over a year ago Roger Federer teamed up with On Running to design a release of a shoe called the Roger. It was not a tennis shoe meant for playing but rather one for wearing every day. At that time Federer also invested about 50 million in the brand buying a 3 % share of the company. Recently the company went public and his stake in the company is now worth around 300 million.

A great investment move by Federer who demonstrated his business savvy by teaming up with a brand and adding his name to it. The interest skyrocketed and in turn, he profited heavily. The Swiss ace is currently still recovering from a knee surgery and he was last seen attending the Paris Fashion Week where he used a cane.

It's unclear when he will return to the courts but if he still uses the cane occasionally than it's still a few months away. It's highly unlikely he will take part in the 2022 Australian Open.
