Serena and Venus Williams' lives now – including huge net worth after Wimbledon success

Serena and Venus Williams were icons of the tennis world for decades and boast an eye-watering combined net worth of almost $400million (£312m). While Serena boasts an individual fortune of $300m (£234m), Venus' net worth is around $95m (£74m) to her name, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.

Despite their illustrious history at Wimbledon, neither sister are gracing the courts at this year's event; Serena has hung up her racket while Venus has decided to sit this one out. Launching their tennis journeys at the tender age of 14, Venus first stepped onto the professional scene in 1994 followed by Serena in 1995 - both under the coaching of their parents Richard Williams and Oracene Price.

Venus has clinched seven Grand Slam singles titles, including five Wimbledon and two US Open crowns, whereas Serena has secured a breathtaking 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Her trophy cabinet includes seven Australian Open wins, three French Open victories, six US Open triumphs, and seven Wimbledon championships.

Together, the sisters have also dominated the doubles circuit, capturing 14 Grand Slam doubles titles - including four Australian Opens, two Roland Garros, six Wimbledons, and two US Opens. Remarkably, they've never tasted defeat in a final, maintaining a perfect 14-0 record when reaching the last stage of a doubles tournament.

In 2022, Serena bid farewell to professional tennis, though she shunned the term 'retirement', preferring to describe her departure as a "transition" from the game she dominated for so long.

In a 2022 Vogue interview, Serena revealed: "I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn't feel like a modern word to me. I've been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people."

She then added: "Maybe the best word to describe what I'm up to is evolution. I'm here to tell you that I'm evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me."

In a tantalising comment for fans, 42-year-old Serena hinted at a potential court return by tweeting: "I'm ready to hit some balls again." This statement, coming one year after her second daughter Adira's birth, led to wild speculation in May 2024 about a possible comeback of one of the 21st century's most talented players.

Contrastingly, Venus remains firmly present in the world of professional tennis, despite recent injuries and sporadic matches in her 40s. Her last game saw her fall to defeat to Nao Hibino at the BNP Paribas Open.

A surprising fact is that Venus has a slightly more successful Olympic record than Serena, with four gold and one silver medal trumping Serena's four golds. The siblings have frequently clashed on court, with Serena having conquered Venus in four successive major finals.

Serena also discussed the positive impact of being in the shadow of her sister Venus, declaring: "But if I hadn't been in Venus' shadow, I would never be who I am. When someone said I was just the little sister, that's when I got really fired up."

"I started playing tennis with the goal of winning the U.S. Open. I didn't think past that. And then I just kept winning."

Off the tennis court, Serena is happily wedded to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit. The couple share two daughters Olympia and Adira. Both Serena and Alexis have been raised as Jehovah's Witnesses and they both hold minority stakes in NFL team, the Miami Dolphins.
