The world’s current number-five tennis star Jessica Pegula‘s net worth at this age will shock anyone. This goes the same for her colleague and another American rising star of tennis, Emma Navarro. While Pegula’s father is the owner of two notable NBA clubs in America, Navarro’s father is known to be a very successful businessman. Following these two American tennis stars’ success, their billionaire fathers have also attracted a lot of spotlight.

Previously, Jessica Pegula faced a lot of criticism due to her billionaire status. Critics doubted whether such enormous wealth could outweigh Pegula’s tennis skills. While Navarro is yet to be a subject of similar criticism, people are already surprised to see her actual family status. Let’s have a look at both Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro’s rich fathers.
