Roger Federer decided to retire from tennis in 2022 and now, celebrating his 42 years, he is enjoying the luxuries that he can afford thanks to the fruits he has reaped in his long career. One of them is the imposing glass mansion that Switzerland has, on the shores of Lake Zurich, and that it has owned since 2014.
Federer achieved a total of 111 titles and it is estimated that his earnings, including prizes, sponsors and investments, are over one billion euros, according to Forbes magazine. This is why the 7 million expense that he had to face to buy his mansion did not mean a great effort. He has even done business with her, as it is estimated that today he costs a million more than he paid for her.

The design carried out by the Swiss studio BGS & Partner Architekten, which captivated Roger, is characterized by having numerous windows to receive natural light, even up to the ceiling, which led to it being nicknamed “the glass mansion”. ”. In addition, this conception allows to fully appreciate the lake.

“The residence”, as the tennis player baptized it, has 18,000 square meters thanks to its three floors. Due to its extensive size, he was able to include six bedrooms, a cinema, a spa, a swimming pool, a large terrace, a gym, an underground garage with capacity for up to nine cars and his greatest passion: a tennis court.
Around the house, the large number of trees that surround it and access to the beach stand out so that the family can enjoy in private and with the peace of mind of being away from the cameras that knew how to surround Federer during his career.

“His Majesty” shares his days there with Mirka Vavrinec, his wife who has been with him since 2009, and their four children, the twins Myla and Charlene, and Leo and Lenny who are also twins. Roger Federer is very close to his family and makes the most of the two private apartments that are located within the same property. These occupy 500 square meters and one of them is exclusively for his father, Robert Federer.
As for its location, it is located in Wollerau, in the canton of Schwyz, 30 kilometers from Zurich. This place stands out that several millionaires choose this commune of Switzerland to build their properties. It is an area full of luxuries, so the price per square meter there amounts to 11 thousand euros.
“The glass mansion” is not the only one: the other properties that Roger Federer has
The winner of 20 Grand Slam tournaments owns more than one house in Switzerland and another outside the country. In addition to his family residence, he decided to purchase another property in the Swiss town of Valbella, a ski area and famous vacation destination. There he also has two neighboring chalets so that his parents can accompany him.

Other projects are on the way, although still under construction: the tennis player owns a 16,000-square-meter piece of land in Rapperswil-Jona and it is estimated that, once completed, the new mansion could be worth more than 50 million euros. Also, while he decides what to do with it, he has another piece of land in Herrliberg.

Federer does not always enjoy the Swiss winter and that is why in 2012 he invested in another property outside the country, in Dubai. Since then he can enjoy an apartment in the famous skyscraper “Le Reve” (“The Dream” in French).
A year after leaving tennis for good, it is clear that Roger Federer will be able to take advantage of his retirement as he deserves, after going through 24 years of competition at the highest performance.
