Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams called time on her iconic playing career in 2022, and her years at the top have earned her a staggering fortune.
American tennis legend Serena Williams reigned supreme on Wimbledon's grass courts for nearly two decades, clinching her first title in 2002. Her most recent triumph at the All England Club was in 2016, when she overcame Angelique Kerber in straight sets to secure her seventh Wimbledon title.
With this year's SW19 action unfolding, such dominance is unfamiliar in the women's game. Williams retired in 2022 with an astonishing 23 Grand Slam titles under her belt. She now relishes life with her husband, American entrepreneur and investor Alexis Ohanian, and their two daughters, Olympia, seven, and Adira, one. The power couple boast a staggering combined net worth, which has previously sparked disputes concerning their children. We delve into Williams' post-tennis life, exploring her immense wealth, luxurious Florida residence, 'inspiring' fitness journey and the reason behind her absence from Wimbledon this year.
What is Serena Williams' net worth?
Throughout her career spearheading the WTA Tour, Williams has accumulated an estimated fortune of £220million. This wealth has been generated through her on-court victories and a host of endorsements, including Nike, Gatorade and Beats by Dre. Williams' spouse, Reddit co-founder Ohanian, has also achieved success, amassing a fortune of £110m through his various endeavours, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Williams and Ohanian boast a combined wealth estimated at £330m, but it was the topic of their daughter Olympia's allowance that sparked a playful disagreement between them. Ohanian divulged details of Olympia's £5 weekly chore allowance, whilst Williams had previously pushed for their daughter to enjoy a work-free weekend.
Ohanian shared: "Yes, Olympia's got a contract. £5-a-week allowance, negotiated by her mom (who somehow got her weekends off). Feed the dog, clothes in the hamper, make her bed, get paid. We're trying to build the muscle: work = reward. Good things come when you work for it.
