Will Rafael Nadal, the world No. 1 men's singles player, win the US Open for the second year in a row? 

Informally known as the King of Clay, Nadal has 80 career single titles under his belt for a total of $7,737,347 in prize winnings. He won the 2017 US Open — and $3.7 million in prize money — as well as the 2018 French Open, earning $2.6 million and his 11th French Open title and 17th Grand Slam title.

But those are only a fraction of his career earnings.

Nadal's career winnings top $102 million. And that's not to mention what he earns from his multiple endorsements, from Nike to Kia. It's easy to see how he's become one of the highest-paid tennis players of all time.

Nadal has a history of spending his hard-earned money a little lavishly, from buying a six-figure watch to purchasing a second home in the Dominican Republic. And then there's his luxury yacht, Beethoven.

But he's also put his money toward philanthropic efforts, tennis centers, and property investments.

From his vacations to his cars, see how Nadal spends his millions.
