Tennis great Roger Federer has reason to smile this week, not because he has a ton of money and 20 Grand Slam titles.  Back in 2019, Federer inked a partnership with high-end running sneaker brand On Holding. Federer also invested an undisclosed sum (at an undisclosed valuation) in the maker of sneakers with “cloud” soles, and has since worked alongside the brand to develop his own footwear line dubbed “The Roger.” Federer’s stake is very likely worth multiples more amid an enthusiastic… Source link
