It's been a big week for Andy Murray. It has emerged that the retired three-time Grand Slam champion will be part of Jack Draper's coaching team for the upcoming grass season - which includes Wimbledon. And the former world No. 1 has now been named as one of the UK's wealthiest sportspeople.

Since retiring from professional tennis at the 2024 Olympic Games, Murray has been busy playing a lot of golf - and working on his investment portfolio. The 39-year-old has invested in Manors Golf, a golf apparel brand, and shoemaker hylo.

Murray has also partnered with brands like Albert Bartlett and Walker's Shortbread. Along with his dog, Bonnie, he has also appeared in adverts for Purina PRO PLAN. And his off-court endeavours are paying off.

According to The Sunday Times Rich List, Murray's estimated wealth for 2026 sits at £110million, making him the joint-10th wealthiest sportsperson in the UK, along with Harry Kane. Bernie Ecclestone and his family topped the sportsperson list, with a reported wealth of £2billion. And Rory McIlroy is the UK's richest sportsperson under the age of 40, with an estimated wealth of £325m.

While Murray has been busy building brand partnerships and investments, he will soon be back on the tennis tour, supporting British ace Draper during the grass season. The two-time Wimbledon champion previously spent six months coaching his biggest rival, Novak Djokovic. That partnership ended last May.

Murray hadn't planned to return to tennis in a new role so soon after his retirement - he joined Djokovic's team at the end of 2024 - but couldn't pass up the opportunity to learn from the sport's greatest champion, and one of his old foes.

Now, the two-time Olympic gold medallist will assist Draper, after the former world No. 4 parted ways with his coach, Jamie Delgado, who had also previously coached Murray.

"I am very grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me over these past six months. He is a world-class coach and a great man," Draper said in a statement earlier this week. "In the interim, I will continue to be supported by the excellent team at the LTA, with the addition of Andy Murray, who will be supporting me throughout the grass court season."

Draper started 2025 on a high when he won Indian Wells, reached two other finals, and cracked the world's top five. But an arm injury derailed his season, and he shut things down after the US Open in August.

The 24-year-old hired Delgado in October, but they worked together in only four tournaments this season, as Draper made his comeback in February but skipped some events. Draper, who now sits at No. 50 in the world, picked up a knee injury in Barcelona last month and has since ruled himself out of the clay swing, but will return on the grass with Murray in tow.
