What is Chris Evert’s Net Worth?

Chris Evert is a retired American world number one professional tennis player who has a net worth of $16 million. Chris Evert has 18 Grand Slam singles titles and was the world’s No. 1 for a period of time.

In the history of professional tennis, she established various records, including the number of consecutive years with at least one Major victory (13), as well as the most Grand Slam singles final appearances (34).

In addition to her tennis career, Evert served as the Women’s Tennis Association’s president for 11 years. She set records by winning seven championships at the French Open and six at the U.S. Open.

Childhood

Chris Evert was born on December 21, 1954, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Colette and Jimmy. She has two brothers, John and Drew, and two sisters, Jeanne and Clare, for a total of four siblings. When she was just five years old, Evert started receiving tennis lessons from her father, a certified coach.

When she was a youngster, she went to St. Thomas Aquinas High School. Evert rose to the top of the under-14 girl rankings during this time period in 1969. She competed in her first senior competition that year and beat Mary-Ann Eisel in the semifinals.

Evert won the 16-and-under national title in 1970, and as a result, he received an invitation to take part in an eight-player competition in North Carolina. In the match, she triumphed over Françoise Dürr and world No. 1 Margaret Court. This resulted in Evert being selected for the US Wightman Cup team at the youngest age ever.

Career

Evert made her Grand Slam tournament debut at the 1971 US Open at the age of just 16. After making it to the semifinals, she was defeated in straight sets by Billie Jean King. Evert finished in second place at the French Open and Wimbledon Championships a few years later.

The next year, Evert won both of those competitions as part of her record-breaking 55-match winning streak. She won 16 tournaments, including two Grand Slams, and concluded the year with a 100-7 match record. For the following five years, Evert held the top spot in the world ranking.

She won her first of four straight US Open championships and her second French Open in 1975. Evert gained the nickname “Ice Maiden” for her commanding performance and steely temperament. In 1976, one of her best years professionally because it was the only time she won both the Wimbledon and US Open titles in the same year, she continued to have success.

With two additional US Open victories and a final record of 126-7 in matches, Evert continued to dominate in 1977 and 1978. She was skilled on all surfaces, but her clay court dominance, which included 125 straight victories, set a new record for her. In addition, Evert has won 10 Grand Slam matches on clay, which is the most in Grand Slam history.

Achievements

One of Evert’s biggest achievements throughout the 1980s was her victory over Martina Navratilova at the 1986 French Open, which gave her her final Grand Slam championship. She again overcame Navratilova at the Australian Open two years later, setting a record and advancing to her last Grand Slam final.

Following the US Open in 1989, Evert announced his retirement from competitive tennis. With a record 18 Grand Slam singles victories to her credit—including a record seven at the French Open and six at the US Open—she ended her career as the all-time leader.

The most singles match victories in history are represented by her 101-13 record in the US Open. With a 90.00% victory percentage in singles matches throughout the Open Era, Evert also retains the record. She also holds a WTA record with a 94.55% victory rate in singles matches played on clay courts.

Earnings

Throughout her professional career, Chris Evert earned just about $9 million from tournament prizes. After accounting for inflation, that would be comparable to close to $30 million in today’s currency. Her endorsement contracts also brought in many million dollars for her.

Relationship

Evert and Jimmy Connors, a famous tennis player who occasionally joined her on mixed doubles teams when she was on a winning streak professionally in the 1970s, were the subject of a well-reported affair. Evert and Connors became engaged when he was 19 years old, but the marriage was called off when the couple’s relationship broke down.

Evert wed British tennis player John Lloyd as her first husband in 1979. Evert’s liaison with British musician Adam Faith caused the relationship to decline, which resulted in a breakup. But gradually Evert and Lloyd were able to mend their differences, and they got married in 1987.

After a year, Evert wed downhill skier Andy Mill; the couple produced three kids, Alexander, Nicholas, and Colton, before getting divorced in 2006. Two years later, Evert married Australian golfer Greg Norman, who would become her third spouse. The couple separated after 15 months, and in December 2009, they finally got divorced.
