Federer to join billionaire club

[Vegas]

Roger Federer has made a career of piling up records on court, but he's also approaching some big numbers off the court.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion appears likely to break the $100 million mark in annual earnings for the first time, and is on course to earn a billion dollars through sponsorship and prize money. That's based on widely-cited—if unofficial—figures published by Forbes, which has regularly identified Federer as one of sport's top-earning names with the highest sponsorship income among professional athletes.

Wow, Federer deserves all of this what he accomplishing now is just icing on the cake. I love Fed and is proud of his illustrious career and what he has brought to the game regardless if he wins another slam.

Of course what I meant to say is what he has accomplished now. Sorry about the grammatical figure of speech.
