US$31,152,975 Andre Kirk Agassi (pronounced /’?:ndre. Described by the BBC upon his retirement as “perhaps the biggest worldwide star in the sport’s history”, Agassi’s performances, along with his unorthodox apparel and attitude, have seen him cited as one of the most charismatic players in the history of the game, and credited for helping revive the popularity of tennis during the 1990s. A multi-surface specialist, he is the first of two male players in history to have achieved a singles Career Golden Slam, and one of four male players to have achieved a singles Career Grand Slam in the Open Era (one of seven in history). He was the first male player to win all four Grand Slams on three different surfaces (hard, clay and grass), and is the last American male to win the French Open (1999) and the Australian Open (2003). He is the only male singles player in history to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments, the Olympic gold medal and the ATP Tour World Championships: a distinction dubbed as a “Career Super Slam” by Sports Illustrated. Agassi was born in Las Vegas, to Emmanuel “Mike” Aghassian and Elizabeth “Betty” Agassi (née Dudley). His father was Iranian of Armenian descent and migrated to the United States from Iran. Andre Agassi’s mother, Betty, is a breast cancer survivor.
