From Olympic courts to personal life: Andy Murray’s journey after retiring from profession

Tennis legend Andy Murray, 37, has announced his retirement from the sport after a commendable performance at the Paris Olympics. He partnered with Dan Evans for one last time in the men’s doubles quarter-finals, which saw them exit the competition.

The duo suffered a straight-sets defeat of 6-2, 6-4 in the Olympic men’s doubles quarterfinals on Thursday, August 1. The British pair secured their place in the quarter-finals after a nail-biting match against their Belgian opponents, saving two match points and missing two of their own.

Evans’ victorious smash winner sparked jubilant celebrations from both players.

Murray’s achievements on the court are well-known, boasting 46 titles including two Wimbledon and one US Open championship, as well as Olympic victories. However, as one of Britain’s most successful and high-profile athletes, there has also been significant interest in his life off the court, according to Wales Online.

As he retires his racket after his final match, we take a look into Murray’s personal life, from his staggering wealth to his unexpected split from wife Kim, reports the Mirror.

As one of the greatest players in tennis history, Murray has amassed an impressive personal fortune, earning over £50million in prize money alone throughout his illustrious career.

His earnings are further boosted by lucrative endorsement deals and sponsorship partnerships with big brands like Jaguar, Castore, Under Armour, and Head. Over the years, he’s also teamed up with other major brands such as Amazon Prime Video, Standard Life, and American Express.

Celebrity Net Worth estimates that these deals and winnings have contributed to a net worth of around £85million. However, some sources suggest it could be closer to a whopping £100million.

Andy Murray boasts a mighty portfolio in the property game, kicking off with the purchase of his lavish Oxshott pad back in 2009 which set him back over £5 million. Not just sitting pretty on his Surrey spread, the tennis ace has rolled in profits from flipping other assets including a trendy Miami flat.

But that’s not all – he showed true love for his Scottish roots by snapping up the posh Cromlix House, a stone’s throw from where he grew up, doling out £1.8 million for the pleasure ten years ago.
