US Open champion Stan Wawrinka is one of the most recognized tennis players (and athletes) on the planet. The world no.3 didn’t have a great run in the World Tour Finals in London (he crashed out in the round-robin), but he has still managed to be rewarded with 5 million shares from London Capital Group Holdings.

The Swiss was rewarded for being the new Brand Ambassador for LCG. The value of the shares is £250,000 and Stan will have 1.3% of the company.

Stan commented has follows

“I am overjoyed to have partnered with a globally recognized name like LCG. They have put their full confidence behind me, and I’m very excited to work with them as I start this new phase of my career.”
