Roger Federer is now reportedly the highest earning athlete in the world, taking the crown from football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 20-time grand slam champion earns $157.7 million per year, most of which comes from endorsements, Forbes reported last week.
And he hasn't been shy in spending those riches onproperty, including a $25 million Dubai apartment, according to The Sun.

Federer would spend most winters in the Middle East to escape the freezing weather in his native Switzerland, where he has two homes, and decided to buy a presidential penthouse in Le Reve ('The Dream' in French).
The 210m, 50-storey building, known as Dubai's most exclusive tower, overlooks the marina that's often filled with yachts worth millions.

"I remember it was brutally hot, I think like 39 Celsius every day. But I had a good time practising, it was peace and quiet and we kind of enjoyed it here," Federer said, according to The Sun.
"I was like, 'You know, I think this works well for practice and leisure'. The next thing I knew, I had an apartment."
