Tennis Former World No. 1 Penniless After $50 Million ‘Betrayal’

  • Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, former World No. 1 tennis player, claims she is penniless after her ex-husband Josep Santacana drained her $41 million fortune and was sentenced to three years and three months in prison for fraud related to hiding assets to avoid paying debts to Banque de Luxembourg.
  • In January 2024, both Sanchez Vicario and Santacana were found guilty of fraud for hiding assets, and Sanchez Vicario received a two-year prison sentence that was waived because she agreed to repay debts, currently giving half her earnings to the bank to avoid jail.
  • Sanchez Vicario asserts she was unaware of wrongdoing, blaming her ex-husband who managed their finances, and despite career earnings of $60 million, she is repaying $11 million in debts and relies on friends to survive.
