INSIDE ROGER FEDERER'S AMAZING £6.5M GLASS MANSION LOCATED IN SWISS HIDEAWAY

Tennis star Roger Federer is set to move into a £6.5m glass mansion next to Lake Geneva.

The huge property, for Federer and his family, is expected to be ready before the end of the year.

The state-of-the-art three-storey building - called The Residence - is located in Wollerau in Schwyz county, and comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a swimming pool and large balconies with magnificent views stretching across the lake.

It's believed his parents Robert and Lynette could be the new residents of two luxury apartments being built next to the main home.

 

Federer, 33, moved from his birthplace of Basel to the 'tax paradise' of Wollerau in March 2008, one year before marrying his Slovakian-born wife Mirka, 36.

The couple, who have four children, were no doubt attracted by the mansion's location.

The house is 20 minutes drive from Zurich, and an hour from Basel, with Wollerau having one of the lowest tax systems in Europe.

The liberal tax structure has attracted other multi-millionaires and Formula One drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa live nearby.

 

Scores of builders have been working to get the impressive structure completed this year.

It's described as "prestigious, contemporary architecture with extensive glazing,' by the developer, Kamata Development.

According to the list of the world's highest paid athletes, published by Forbes, Federer is ranked 7th.

He added an eye-watering $56.2m (£40m) to his personal fortune over the past 12 months, with just $4.2m (£2.55m) coming from on-court winnings.

As the face of a number of high-profile brands such as Nike and Rolex, the Swiss star picked up around $52m (£33m) in endorsements.

Despite his huge earnings, Federer dropped down the list this year after being ranked 2nd in 2013.
