Emma Raducanu has become a global superstar since her US Open win last September and now a report has revealed how much she might have earned from her breakthrough success.
Raducanu was still working on her A-Level schools exams this time last year before she exploded to the top of the tennis ladder with a run to the fourth round of Wimbledon and then her remarkable Grand Slam win in New York.
Sponsorship deals with Porsche, Tiffany and Co, British Airways, Evian, Dior and Vodafone has flowed for Raducanu since with the Daily Mail reporting her wealth has ballooned to $15million in the last few months.
The report states:
"Accounts for Emma Raducanu’s company,
Harbour 6 limited, show she had total assets of £55,682 but owed
creditors £54,88, leaving her with around £795,” read the report,
reflecting on her finances a year ago. A further £750 was subtracted as
‘provision for liabilities’ leaving her with £44. The
accounts show how vertiginous her rise has been; she’s come from barely
making any money to winning £1.8 million in prize money at the US Open
and then signing big money endorsement deals with companies including
Porsche, Evian and Dior.”
Raducanu recently expressed frustration with the media's focus on her brand deals since her US Open win saying:
“Maybe you just see, on the news or
on social media, me signing this or that deal and I feel like it’s quite
misleading because I’m doing five, six hours a day (of training), I’m
at the club for 12 hours a day,” Raducanu told reporters. But I throw out one post in the car on the way to practice and all of a sudden it’s ‘I don’t focus on tennis’. I think that it is unfair but it’s
something I have learned to deal with and become a bit more insensitive
to the outside noise."
