Wimbledon 2012: Andy Murray could earn £100m if he wins in final Philip Beresford, editor of the Rich List, said: "The £100m won't happen straight away but he would get up to £50m very quickly. Federer is worth £196m, so if Murray carries on winning he could easily end up north of £100m [over his career]. It came as Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Group, revealed that his health clubs turned down the chance to support Andy Murray. Branson posted the story on his blog and referred to Murray as 'the one that got away.' Murray, and his mother Judy Murray, approached Virgin Active to ask for sponsorship nine years ago but the chain of health clubs did not want to back the Scot. He wrote: "The one that got away! A 16-year-old tennis player and his mum came to see me in Oxford a few years ago to ask if Virgin Active would sponsor him. Peter Norris, Virgin Group Chairman, had seen the youngster play and was convinced he'd one day win Wimbledon. We had a wonderful lunch but couldn't get enough support from our health clubs. The tennis player was Andy Murray.
