Serena Williams has cemented her place among the greatest tennis players of all time. In doing so, she’s generated a massive net worth.
Throughout her career, the American captivated spectators with her sensational performances. Renowned for explosive power, Williams always brings the heat. She’s spent her professional life terrorising any woman who dares set foot on her court.
Although she turned 40 in September, she’s still at the top of her game. The Women’s Tennis Association have had her ranked as the number one player on the planet for a record-breaking 319 weeks. In addition, with 23 Grand Slams to her name, she’s just one away from equaling Magaret Court’s tally.
Williams has transcended tennis to become a global superstar, and in 2021, her life story hit the big screens. ‘King Richard’ told the tale of her father, Richard Williams, who trained her and her sister, Venus, to remarkable success. Demi Singleton, who played the sportswoman, and the rest of the cast received critical acclaim. Consequently, the project generated $38.4 million.
Generally, sportspeople at the highest level make a lot of money. But Williams has accumulated even more cash than you’d expect.
