In 1959 Buchdahl \cite{Bu} obtained the inequality $2M/R\leq 8/9$ under the assumptions that the energy density is non-increasing outwards and that the pressure is isotropic. Here $M$ is the ADM mass and $R$ the area radius of the boundary of the static body. The assumptions used to derive the Buchdahl inequality are very restrictive and e.g. neither of them hold in a simple soap bubble. In this work we remove both of these assumptions and consider \textit{any} static solution of the spherically symmetric Einstein equations for which the energy density $\rho\geq 0,$ and the radial- and tangential pressures $p\geq 0$ and $p_T,$ satisfy $p+2p_T\leq\Omega\rho, \Omega>0,$ and we show that $$\sup_{r>0}\frac{2m(r)}{r}\leq \frac{(1+2\Omega)^2-1}{(1+2\Omega)^2},$$ where $m$ is the quasi-local mass, so that in particular $M=m(R).$ We also show that the inequality is sharp. Note that when $\Omega=1$ the original bound by Buchdahl is recovered. The assumptions on the matter model are very general and in particular any model with $p\geq 0$ which satisfies the dominant energy condition satisfies the hypotheses with $\Omega=3.$
