How Rich Is Taylor Gahagen? Comparing Jessica Pegula Net Worth To Her Husband

Due to her excellent £2.9 million in prize money, which is anticipated to surpass the $3 million mark after her first WTA 1000 final in Spain, Jessie’s net worth is far more than that of her husband, Taylor.

This amount, though, is nothing compared to what she hopes to inherit. She is essentially the lovely daughter of Terry Pegula, the 434th richest person on earth who made £3.6 billion from natural gas production.

The self-made businessman owns several sports clubs, including the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, which he acquired in 2014 by outbidding Bon Jovi and Donald Trump. And if that weren’t enough, Jessica could spend her spare time driving her dad’s $14 million superyacht. Surprisingly, she is wealthier than Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, and Roger Federer.

Taylor Gagahen, her American senior investment analyst husband, may be valued between $100,000 and $1,000,000. He spent seven years employed for Jessica’s parents’ business, Pegula Sports and Entertainment. Following that, he worked for the Buffalo Sabres, an NHL team owned by the Pegulas, as a director of corporate development, brand strategy, and marketing.

He has a long working relationship with the Pegula family. The 28-year-old chief investment analyst reportedly works for Pegula Sports broadcasting. Gahagen later had leadership positions in brand development and business communications before joining the Buffalo Sabres’ marketing division, which Pegula owns.

The pair, who like dogs, founded a nonprofit to support canines. The couple had a magnificent wedding at the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina.
Gahagen also holds an MBA from Canisius College and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from The State University of New York located at Fredonia.

The guy is also known for his work with animals; he co-founded A Lending Paw, an organization that aids in rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need of new homes.

The most underrated tennis player Jessica Pegula is the daughter of Terry and Kim Pegula.

Terry, a self-made billionaire, used $7,500 to launch his first business, a drilling operation for natural gas. His wealth skyrocketed after a deep deposit of natural gas benefited his company. Later, he sold his assets, generating around $5 billion in profit. In 2014, he outbid Bon Jovi and the former US president Donald Trump to get the Buffalo Bills franchise.

In addition to serving as co-owner and president of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres with her husband, Kim Pegula is also the CEO of Pegula Sports and Entertainment. Kim participates in the Super Bowl and the NFL’s business venture committees.

Oil and gas wealth-maker Terry Pegula built a sports empire that now includes the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres. In 2010, he sold most of the assets his oil and gas company owned, East Resources, to Royal Dutch Shell for $4.7 billion. Next year, he paid $189 million for the Sabres, then in 2014, he outbid Donald Trump and Bon Jovi-led teams to acquire the Bills for $1.4 billion.

Pegula, a former math major, changed his major to petroleum engineering while receiving financial aid and then joined Getty Oil after graduation. He established East Resources in 1983 using a $7,500 loan from friends and family for drilling wells. He still holds oil and gas holdings in four states.

2011-2012: Third round of the Grand Slam doubles

Pegula and Taylor Townsend competed in the US Open doubles tournament on August 30, 2011, after receiving a wildcard into the main draw. The third-seeded duo of Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova ultimately defeated them in the third round. Pegula upset better-ranked players Bojana Jovanovski and Paula Ormaechea to qualify for the main event at Indian Wells in March 2012. There, she was defeated in three sets by Magdaléna Rybáriková.

2015: saw the first Grand Slam singles victory.

At the 2015 US Open, Pegula qualified for the singles tournament and made her Grand Slam debut. She won over Margarita Gasparyan, Shuko Aoyama, and Melanie Oudin to get to the main draw, where she overcame Alison Van Uytvanck in the opening round. In the second, Dominika Cibulková defeated Pegula in three sets.

2018: First WTA final and top 125

Pegula qualified for the Tournoi de Québec in September of 2018 and advanced to her first WTA singles final there. To reach the final, where eighth-seeded Pauline Parmentier defeated her in straight sets, she defeated Kristna Plková, Ons Jabeur, second-seeded Petra Marti, and fifth-seeded Sofia Kenin. She completed the year inside the top 125 and raised her rating back into the top 200.

2019: Top 100 and first WTA title 

Pegula spent most of the year competing on the ITF Circuit until she made her first-ever top-100 appearance in February. Where she competed in several major WTA Tour events, including those in Indian Wells and Miami, she defeated world No. 12 Anastasija Sevastova in Charleston to advance to the third round, which was her best performance during the early clay court season. She was able to enter the top 75, thanks to this initiative. She also made her debut in the main draw of a Grand Slam competition that wasn’t the US Open. 

2020: Third round of the US Open and the Auckland Open final

Jessica won over CiCi Bellis in the opening round of the Auckland Open to begin her tennis season in 2020. To advance to the semifinals, she won two other matches in straight sets against Tamara Zidanek and Alizé Cornet. She defeated Caroline Wozniacki in three sets to reach her third WTA singles championship match. Pegula lost in straight sets when she played Serena Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slam singles matches. She then made her debut at the Australian Open, where she was eliminated in the first round by another American, Taylor Townsend, in straight sets.

2021: Top 20 in the first significant quarterfinal

Pegula achieved significant success in the Australian Open, defeating top seeds Kristina Mladenovic, Samantha Stosur, Victoria Azarenka, and Elina Svitolina to advance to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal. There, she fell to eventual runner-up Jennifer Brady despite taking the first set. Pegula’s impressive performance at the Australian Open in February allowed her to break into the top 50. It propelled her to a new career-high ranking of No. 43. She won the most excellent match of her career against world No. 2 Naomi Osaka in the Italian Open’s second round in May, where she made her debut. It was her fifth top-ten triumph overall and in 2021. She defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova to advance to a quarterfinal matchup with Petra Marti. She again made her maiden appearance in the top 30 thanks to this impressive performance in her second WTA 1000 quarterfinal of 2021 after the one in Dubai.

2022: Top 10 in doubles, two WTA 1000 championships, and singles rankings of 7 worldwide and 1 in America.

She began her campaign in Melbourne, where she competed as the top seed but got eliminated in the first round by Irina-Camelia Begu. Caroline Garcia defeated her in Sydney’s opening round. She defeated third seeds Elise Mertens and Veronika Kudermetova in the Doha doubles final to win her maiden WTA 1000 doubles title with unseeded Coco Gauff. As a result, on February 28, 2022, she moved up to No. 29 in the doubles rankings.

After retiring in the first set of the quarterfinal against Paula Badosa in the round of 16 against Kalinina at the Miami Open, she advanced to the second WTA 1000 semifinal of her career. Iga witek, the incoming No. 1, defeated her.
