ANDY Murray is doubling down for his emotional Wimbledon farewell.
The Brit tennis superstar will form a ‘dream team’ partnership with Emma Raducanu, as well as his brother Jamie, in the mixed doubles at this year’s tournament after being forced to pull out of the men’s singles due to injury.
It will be a fitting send off as he prepares to retire later this year, following a glittering career that has earned him an incredible £130million fortune.
Having racked up £50million from prize pots over the years, the 37-year-old has also netted millions away from the court thanks to canny business investments, which include the most luxurious hotel in Scotland.
And he knows how to spend his hard-earned cash too, snapping up a stunning collection of supercars.
We look at how Murray has built up his huge bank balance over the years…
Murray has earned over £50million in career prize money over the years, having won Wimbledon twice, in 2013 and 2016, and the US Open in 2012.
Only Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have earned more in prize money.
In 2016, his most fruitful year, he made an astonishing £12.8 million thanks to winning nine titles.
From just his Wimbledon men’s singles title alone, he earned a cool £2 million.
As a tennis champ, big brands have offered Murray millions to sponsor him.
Since 2019, he’s been sponsored by clothing brand Castore.
In November of that year, he launched his clothing line, AMC, with the brand, with all the clothes made from recycled and regenerated materials.
Andy now always plays in AMC, and will be seen sporting the brand throughout Wimbledon.
Prior to Castore, Murray was sponsored by Under Armour, signing a four-year sponsorship deal with the sportswear brand in 2015 for a whopping £15 million.
Prior to that, he was sponsored by Adidas.
He’s worked with many other brands, including sports equipment company Head, watchmaker Rado and insurance company Standard Life.
And in 2016, he signed a sponsorship agreement with Jaguar, for £1.5million.
In 2013, after becoming the first British player to win Wimbledon in 77 years, Murray started up his sports marketing agency, 77 Management.
The business, created alongside his two business advisors, Matt Gentry and Gawain Davies, was valued at £22.6 million in 2021.
The company controls Murray’s image rights, and manages many other sports stars.
In 2018, Murray also invested in Deuce, an app that helps tennis players find courts and coaching sessions across the UK
Murray bought the luxury Cromlix House Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland, near his home town of Dunblane, for £1.8million in 2013.
The hotel is surrounded by 50 acres of woodland, and boasts its own chapel and trout loch.
Murray got married to his wife Kim at the hotel, as did as his elder brother Jamie.
He spent £6million renovating the hotel and it’s since become a five-star complex with an Albert Roux restaurant.

It’s also been named the most luxurious hotel in Scotland at the Scottish Hotel Awards.
Cromlix was run by a management firm until December 2022, when Murray and his wife Kim announced they would be taking over the running of it.
And last year, Murray applied to trademark the name of his luxury hotel to launch a range of merchandise, including air fragrance diffusers, soap, perfumes, massage gels and hair conditioners.
Murray is also seeking ownership over any furniture, candles, bath robes, dressing gowns and slippers bearing the name.
Murray knows how to spend the money he earns too. He now has an impressive collection of supercars, but was clinging on to his first ever car – his beloved Vokswagen Polo – for 14 years.
Despite his wife Kim begging him to scrap it, he was using the car he got at the age of 22 as a runaround to avoid being recognised in, admitting he’s still “strongly attached to it”.
He finally traded it in for a bright red Ferrari 430 in 2010, estimated to have set him back £117,000.
But. amusingly, he ditched it just five months later, saying he felt like “a bit of a prat” behind the wheel of the stand-out car.
He said: “I keeled in to peer pressure but I didn’t enjoy driving it at all. It was a mistake.”
The Scottish star swapped the extravagant supercar for an Aston Martin DB9 – just like James Bond – for £200,000 instead.
Murray confessed he liked the stunning motor “a lot more”, especially because of its inconspicuous colour.
He explained: “With the Aston, yes, it’s a beautiful car, but it was a bit more understated — and it wasn’t red.”
Murray later bagged a £125,000 BMW i8 after winning the Munich Open – but regifted it to his father.
PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring.
But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best…
In 2016, his sponsorship deal with Jaguar ensured the tennis ace was always traveling in style.
He rolled around in the enviable Jaguar XKR before owning the £66,000 Jaguar I-Pace, arguably a standout in his collection.
He was one of the first owners of the British carmaker’s all-electric performance SUVs.
The tennis legend has also been spotted ferrying his family around in a Porsche Cayenne SUV.
But despite his enviable car collection, the VW Polo is the vehicle that remains closest to his heart.
He reportedly allows his pals to whizz around in the budget motor to ensure it isn’t left to rot.
Murray has had some beautiful homes over the years too.
He bought a penthouse apartment in Miami in 2008, selling it eight years later for £2.4million, to spend more time with his family in the UK.
And in 2016, he moved from his riverside London apartment to a £5.5million country mansion in Oxshott, Surrey.
The 28-acre mansion, where he lived with Kim and their four children – Sophia, seven, Edie, five, Teddy, three, and Lola, two – features a tennis court, swimming pool and a gym.
Murray reportedly added another home in the area to his property portfolio worth £3million, but had plans approved to demolish it and build a new house.
They sold the Surrey mansion and Murray is using the funds to build his dream family home in Leatherhead, which has a tennis court in its 28 acres of grounds.
