Andy Murray’s astounding net worth, shock split from Kim and plans for retirement

Andy Murray will look to keep his retirement roadshow rolling on as he teams up with Dan Evans again in the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles at the Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old – who will retire from tennis following the Games – has secured two stunning victories in the competition so far to keep his career and medal hopes alive. He and Evans pulled off a remarkable recovery from five match points down to beat Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel of Japan in the first round, before a similarly dramatic win over Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen in the second.

The British pair booked their place in the quarter-finals after seeing off two match points for their Belgian counterparts – and missing two of their own – with Evans’ triumphant smash winner seeing both men jump around in wild celebration.

If they make it through to the semi-final, Murray will have a chance to add to his impressive Olympic medal haul, having won gold in the men’s singles at London and Rio, while also claiming silver alongside Laura Robson in the 2012 mixed doubles. He reached the quarter-final stage of the men’s doubles in Tokyo but will be hoping to go one step better this time.

Of course, the tennis ace’s achievements on the court speak for themselves, having won 46 titles, including two Wimbledon and one US Open championship, as well as his Olympic triumphs. But as one of the most successful and talked-about British athletes ever, there has also been plenty of interest in Murray’s personal life over the course of his career.

Ahead of what could be the final match of his career, here’s a look at Murray’s life away from the court, from his staggering net worth to his shock split from wife Kim.

Stunning net worth

As one of the most successful players of all time, Murray has amassed remarkable personal fortune, bank over £50million in prize money alone during his illustrious career.

These wins are bolstered by his substantial earnings through endorsement deals and sponsorship partnerships, with big names like Jaguar, Castore, Under Armor and Head all working with the tennis ace. Over the years, he’s also collaborated with other major brands such as Amazon Prime Video, Standard Life and American Express.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, these deals and winnings have contributed to an estimated net worth of around £85million. However, some sources suggest it could be closer to £100million.

Murray has invested significantly in property and lives in a sprawling mansion in Oxshott, Surrey, which cost him over £5million when he bought it back in 2009. He’s also made considerable profits from selling other properties, including a flat in Miami, while he bought the five-star country house hotel Cromlix House, located near his hometown, for £1.8million a decade ago.

Split from Kim and ‘s*****’ father claim

Murray is married to Kim Sears, the daughter of tennis coach Nigel Sears. The couple met at a party during the 2005 US Open and went public with their relationship a year later, before ultimately getting married in 2015.

They are now parents to four children – Sophia, eight, Edie, six Teddy, four, and Lola, three – with Murray humorously remarking in a 2021 interview that his proudest achievement in his life was getting all four to bed on time.

But it’s not all been smooth sailing for the pair, as in 2009 they shockingly split up after publicly dating for three years. The split was amicable, however, with Kim ‘winning custody’ of their dog Maggie.

However, they were soon back together as they were reunited just six months later, with Murray admitting: “I work better in a relationship. At the end of the day, especially if I’ve lost a match, I don’t like talking about tennis, so it’s nice to have someone to talk to about other stuff.”

Kim is often seen supporting her husband and has become known for her fiery spirit in the stands. During Murray’s Wimbledon semi-final win against Tomas Berdych in 2015, she was famously caught saying: “F****** have that you flash Czech f***”.

After being awarded a knighthood in the Queen’s New Year Honors in 2016, Murray joked that his wife would have to mind her swearing upon becoming a Lady. “She’s going to have to (do) no more swearing during my matches any more, for any of you who saw that a few years ago,” he laughed.

Murray has often spoken about his delight at being a parent and admitted in a previous interview that his top priority in life is to be a good father, rather than adding to his achievements on the court.

”I’d rather be getting up in the middle of the night and helping (with the kids) than winning every tennis match and her thinking when she grows up: ‘Actually, you know what, he was as****y dad but he won a lot of tennis matches so, you know, well done’.”

Feud with brother

Despite Murray being very close with elder brother Jamie, their competitive spirits have seen them fall out.

The most famous bust-up among them came in 2008, when Murray made the decision to withdraw from Great Britain’s Davis Cup match against Argentina – which he would have played alongside Jamie – to avoid aggravating a knee injury.

In his younger brother’s absence, Jamie then had to pair up with Ross Hutchins for the match which they lost. He was incensed by Murray’s withdrawl as he admitted: “It kind of affects the way we feel about him.”

Jamie added: “I think it’s disappointing he chose not to come. From what I have been reading he hasn’t come out and said he’s injured, it’s more a prevention thing. I think if he had really wanted to push himself he could have come here for the match.

“It was a shock for me and for the team. I was not aware he had a problem. From his point of view, I guess he doesn’t have anything to apologize for as he’s made the decision not to come.

“If he had come here, he would have caused them problems because he has the ability to win singles matches, he’s a world-class player. He’s been in the top 10 and not by fluke. I think he would have liked to come here and had the crowd against him, he plays better in those circumstances.”

Andy soon fired back at his brother’s remarks, however, as he said: “It was a little bit disappointing. But he obviously felt pretty strongly about it and he’s entitled to his opinion. If he knew what it was like playing three five-set matches in a row on clay then maybe he’d understand my position a little bit better.

“I’ve not spoken to him yet. I’ll see him soon. I guess we’ll have to have a chat about it and just discuss our feelings about Davis Cup and the sort of position that I am in, but it’s probably “Not going to be the most fun conversation to have with your brother.”

The brothers did not speak to each other for two weeks, but eventually reconciled.

Retirement plans

With retirement looming, the question of what Murray will do next is on everyone’s lips.

“I don’t know exactly what the rest of my life will look like, but I will still stay in touch with the sport,” he shared during an interview in the Olympic Village ahead of the Games. “Initially, I want to be at home with my family. I want to spend a lot of time with my kids and my wife, so I won’t be on the road much, I know that.”

But as one sporting chapter closes, another may open for Murray, as he revealed plans to dedicate time to improving his skills on the golf course once his tennis career concludes.

“I’ll play a lot of golf,” he said. “I want to become a scratch golfer. I’ve always loved playing golf, but because of the issues with my back, I haven’t played for five or six years.

“I would also love to be part of the next Olympics in some capacity, but I don’t have any clear plans on what it is I’m going to do from a work perspective.”

Addressing a potential return to tennis, the ace added: “I don’t see myself playing any of the invitational things or those sort of events. I expect I’ll still hit some balls and stuff, but when I play sport, I like to compete – whether that’s in cards, golf or whatever I want to be competitive.

“I know it’s the right time to stop – I didn’t feel that way a few months ago when I thought this is when I was going to stop but I didn’t really want to, whereas now I want to – and I know that it’s the right time for me, so I feel good about it.”
