Roger Federer
Power 100 rank: 6
Rank last year: 15
Sport: Tennis
Age: 30
Most recent notable achievement: Won Barclays ATP World Tour Finals 2011
Earnings: $40,700,000
Key sponsors: Nike, Gillette, Rolex, Wilson, Credit Suisse
Why he’s on the list: Now ranked third in the world, Roger Federer may be entering the twilight of his career. He remains a force. Although 2011 was the first year he did not win a Grand Slam tournament since 2002, Federer ended Novak Djokovic’s (No. 9 on our list) perfect season and made the finals of the French Open. He’s recognizable and forever branded as a winner, with 16 Grand Slam titles to his name.
