The famous annual tennis event was canceled this year because of coronavirus, but the bank account will be just fine.
According to Darren Rovell, Wimbledon has been paying $2 million a year for pandemic insurance the past 17 years, and now the policy will pay out $141 million.

(Total: $34 Million)
For this year's cancellation as a result of the Coronavirus, Wimbledon will reportedly receive $141 million from the policy.
