Billionaire tennis star set to inherit £58m superyacht after touching private jet gesture
While many tennis aces are accustomed to life’s finer things, Jessica Pegula is in line for sumptuousness beyond most. Ranked World No. 4 but yet to clinch a Grand Slam, the 31-year-old American sports a personal net worth of £11.6million and stands to inherit a slice of her oil magnate father Terry Pegula’s extraordinary £5.4billion fortune – ranking him as the world’s 373rd wealthiest person, according to Forbes.
Apart from Terry’s impressive business realm, the 73-year-old also owns sporting giants Buffalo Bills (NFL) and Buffalo Sabres (NHL), not to mention his jaw-dropping £58m superyacht, Top Five II, so named in anticipation of it being handed down to his five children. This vessel is nothing short of an aquatic palace, kitted out with a swimming pool, barbecue space, a sauna, jacuzzi, fire pit, and spacious cabins befitting maritime royalty.
Despite the potential for a highly comfortable life backed by her father’s wealth, Jessica has determinedly carved her own trajectory on the tennis courts, independent of her father’s significant shadow. However, she doesn’t entirely eschew the luxuries that come with her name—quite notably using the family’s private jet.
