Emma Navarro is an American star and heir to a £1.18billion ($1.5bn) fortune – meaning she is worth more than three of the sport’s most iconic figures combined. The 23-year-old’s wealth comes from her father, Ben Navarro, who founded the Sherman Financial Group in 1998, which grew into a and debt collection empire.
His biggest asset, Credit One, recently raked in £356million ($453m) in the latest financial year. According to Forbes, Ben’s net worth stands at £1.18bn ($1.5bn). In comparison, Celebrity Net Worth reports that is worth £432m, £188m, and £173m, totalling £786m. While Navarro had the three male tennis icons beaten in net worth, her female counterpart – Jessica Pegula – supersedes her as she is ($7bn) from her petrol business mogul father Terry.

Emma began her WTA Tour career in 2019 at the Charleston Open and won her first major tournament match in 2023 at the French Open. The young star also reached the Swedish Open final in 2023, and claimed her first title at the Hobart International in 2024.
She then ascended to the eighth spot in the world singles rankings in tennis and was crowned the Most Improved Player of the Year by the WTA for 2024. However, she is set to share her father’s billions with her three siblings – Earl, Owen and Meggie.
Her younger sister Meggie is also a budding tennis player currently competing at college level. With four heirs to Ben’s billions, it’s likely that the inheritance will be divided equally among them.

However, earnings from her tennis career have already provided her with a substantial financial base. According to the WTA website, Navarro has accumulated approximately £535,101 ($690,000) from her victories and appearances at tennis tournaments.
And while this is a very impressive sum from the young star, she could add to this total very soon. Navarro is set to launch her campaign for another win in her record with an appearance at the Indian Wells Masters this coming weekend.
The details of her match on Friday, including her opponent, are yet to be confirmed as the initial rounds continue on Thursday. She’ll face the winner of Sorana Cirstea vs Maya Joint.
