Serena Williams is surely the best female tennis player in the game’s history. The American has been ranked number one in the world numerous times, and has been paid more cash prizes than any other female player. Some even call her the greatest female athlete of any sport, of all time.
Serena, 40, turned pro in 1995 and won her first major title, the US Open, in 1999. However, she really made a name for herself in the 2002/3 season, where she won four back to back grand slam titles. Awkwardly, she beat her sister, Venus, in every one of those finals! Even with injuries and having taken time off including leave of absence to become a mother, Serena Williams has continued to be a force to be reckoned with in women’s tennis.
What Is Serena Williams’ Net Worth?

The star has piled up her vast wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to her success in the sport - and now, as well as maintaining her corporate partners, she is reportedly set to invest.
Her net worth also means she has much more cash than her husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and her older sister Venus Williams. Despite being the older sister, Venus Williams has generated less funds than Serena Williams and her net worth is around $95m, of which $42m have come from her career in pro tennis.
Both of the sisters have suffered with injuries, but unfortunately Venus Williams has been especially unwell in recent years, which has affected her ability to play. “I have recently been diagnosed with Sjogren’s”, she said in a statement. This is a disease “which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain”.
