Base case is our central scenario. Bear and bull cases show how uncertainty around private holdings, retained proceeds, taxes and liabilities can move the estimate.
Switch scenarios to see how the total and each component move together. The bars show each positive component's share of the estimated assets in that scenario, not audited holdings.
WTA match notes listed Gauff at $31.7 million of career prize money during the 2026 Madrid Open. Forbes separately estimated about $25 million of annual off-court earnings in late 2025.
That mix makes the endorsement platform at least as important to the financial story as tournament prizes. The estimate accumulates both conservatively rather than treating gross career earnings as current wealth.
Forbes reported that Gauff invested in the women’s basketball league Unrivaled and partnered with Religion of Sports on media projects.
The size and current value of those interests are not public. The private-investment component therefore remains deliberately wide instead of converting a high-profile investment announcement into unsupported equity value.

WTA match notes recorded $31.7 million of career prize money by April 2026, while Forbes estimated about $25 million of annual off-court earnings in late 2025. The model treats both as historical inflows and applies a wide retention range after taxes, representation and spending.
Sources[3][2]Forbes reported that Gauff invested in Unrivaled and partnered with Religion of Sports on media projects. Exact investment size, ownership percentages and current marks are not public, so the component remains deliberately wide.

Initial Grizzly Bulls estimate published with prize and endorsement earnings separated from private investments.
This is the first retained snapshot, so there is no earlier comparable Grizzly Bulls estimate to show yet.
