Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player and is regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Since making her debut in the mid 90s, she has accomplished almost everything in tennis, while scripting new records and smashing previous ones. She has won 23 Grand Slam titles, the most by any man or woman in the Open Era. She has also won 14 Grand Slam titles in women’s doubles along with two in mixed doubles. Williams has also won an Olympic gold in singles, while winning three gold medals in doubles. She has been ranked as the World No. 1 player for 319 weeks during her career. Along with sister Venus Williams, the duo have changed the face of tennis with their game and talent.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Williams’ net worth is estimated to be around $250 million.
Tennis players don’t have a fixed salary as such and rely on prize money earned from various tournaments throughout the year. Since the start of her career, Serena Williams has amassed more than $94 million in prize money, the most amongst women. Only Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have earned more prize money than her.
Her achievements on the court have made Serena Williams a household name and consequently, a favorite among brands. She has had a huge endorsements portfolio right from the start of her career. In the initial stages of her career, Williams was sponsored by Puma for apparel and footwear. Since 2004, she has been endorsed by Nike for the same. Wilson has been her racquet sponsor throughout her career. Her current endorsement deals include AbbVie, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Audemars Piguet, Away, Beats Electronics, Bumble, DIRECTV, Inc., Ford Motor, Gatorade, Gucci, Hanesbrands, JPMorgan Chase, Nike, Procter & Gamble, Subway, Tapestry and Wilson Sporting Goods.
Along with her tennis smarts, Serena Williams also has the business acumen to invest her huge fortune wisely. She has invested in various start-ups and businesses. Her venture fund, “Serena Ventures,” raised $111 million recently. She also sits on the board of the Poshmark and SurveyMonkey. Williams also owns a stake in the NFL team Miami Dolphins.
Though Serena Williams owns multiple properties, she currently lives in a sprawling mansion in Florida with her husband and daughter. The home was designed by sister Venus Williams, who also owns an interior designing firm. The huge 14,500 square foot home is a perfect blend of Williams’ taste along with the modern and minimalist aesthetic. Despite having all high-end amenities in her new home, a tennis court is missing. That was a deliberate decision on Williams’ part, as she wanted to keep her personal and professional lives separate.
Williams has an enviable car collection. She currently owns a Lincoln Navigator, Mini Cooper, Aston Martin Vanquish, Bentley Continental GT and a Mercedes G-Wagon.
Williams has been involved in considerable charity endeavors since the start of her career. In 2004 and 2005, went on a tennis tour with sister Venus Williams in predominantly black cities to raise money for the local Ronald McDonald House charities. She also funded the construction of a school in Kenya. The Serena Williams Foundation provides scholarships to underprivileged students in the United States. She has also been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF since 2011. In 2016, the sisters set up the Yetunde Price Resource Center in California in honor of their deceased sister. She contributes to various charities such as the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Hearts of Gold, the Common Ground Foundation, the Small Steps Project, the HollyRod Foundation, Beyond the Boroughs National Scholarship Fund, World Education, the Eva Longoria Foundation, the Caliber Foundation and the Cure for MND Foundation.
