Her grandfather, Frank Navarro, was a "famous American football player and coach," according to Tatler.
Emma Navarro "bristled" in the Tatler interview when her dad's wealth was brought up.
"I don’t read anything. I don’t read the comments, the articles, any of that stuff. I don’t know what the fans are saying. There will be headlines and they kind of mention that [ which is fine, but I didn’t grow up being handed things," she told Tatler of her dad's massive net worth.
‘We grew up in a sort of traditional way. We’d get up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning and go play tennis… growing up it was a priority that we learnt toughness and we learnt work ethic and how to be intentional and purposeful and live productive lives so I don’t love being referred to as whoever with however much money’s daughter. It’s a label I don’t really like," she told Tatler.
According to the New York Post, Navarro is not the only billionaire's daughter in the pro tennis circuit's top 10. Jessica Pegula, the No. 3-ranked women’s tennis player in the world, is the daughter of billionaire Terry Pegula, whose net worth exceeds $7 billion, the Post reported.
