Rafael Nadal won the US Open for the fourth time, and with it, his 19th Grand Slam title.

Informally known as the King of Clay, Nadal has 84 career single titles under his belt. With $US3.8 million in prize winnings from the 2019 US Open, Nadal has more than $US11 million in prize winnings in 2019 alone. He also won the 2017 US Open as well as the 2019 French Open for the third year in a row – his 12th French Open title. In August, he won his fifth Canadian Open.

But those are only a fraction of his career earnings.

With his new win, Nadal’s career winnings now top $US114 million. And that’s not to mention what he earns from his multiple endorsements, from Nike to Kia. It’s easy to see how he’s become one of the highest-paid tennis players of all time.

Nadal has a history of spending his hard-earned money a little lavishly, from buying a six-figure watch to purchasing a second home in the Dominican Republic. And then there’s his luxury yacht, Beethoven.

But he’s also put his money toward philanthropic efforts, tennis centres, and property investments.

From his vacations to his cars, see how Nadal spends his millions.
