What is Ion Țiriac’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth estimates his fortune at $2.4 billion, the largest in Romania. He is the only former tennis professional in the billionaire ranks.
Sources of wealth
Țiriac built Banca Țiriac, sold a majority to UniCredit, and co-owns the Allianz-Țiriac insurance joint venture. Țiriac Auto is one of the largest car dealers in the region.
He co-founded and still holds a share of the Madrid Open, one of the biggest tournaments outside the Grand Slams, and owns a car collection considered one of the finest private museums in Europe.
How the fortune was built
He won the French Open doubles in 1970 and reached the singles quarter-finals, then moved into coaching and sports management before Romania’s 1989 revolution opened business opportunities.
Banking and insurance produced the steady profits, while real estate around Bucharest and the car collection added trophy assets.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Most of his companies are private, so values are estimated from disclosed transactions and comparable deals.
