Serena Williams Net Worth

Serena Williams, on the verge of potentially taking home yet another US Open championship tomorrow at Arthur Ashe Stadium, stands alone not only as one of the greatest women's tennis players ever, if not the greatest, but one of the most successful and influential female athletes in any sport. She's also a model of how to establish a business career away from sports.

What Is Serena Williams' Net Worth?

Serena Williams has a net worth of $225 million. However, only $89 million of that money comes from tennis winnings. That number is still more than $40 million greater than the next highest female athlete.

Most of her money comes from endorsements, which includes companies like Beats by Dre, Gatorade, Wilson, and Intel. Williams reels in a cool $18 million per year on endorsements alone. She is also heavily invested in UFC and the Miami Dolphins.

While she signed her first contract with Nike after making it big in the early 90s, she signed a $40 million deal with Nike in 2004 that has been continuously re-upped for undisclosed amounts.

As long as she remains at the pinnacle of her sport, expect Williams to be the highest-paid female athlete.
