Serena Williams is widely regarded as the best tennis player to ever grace the court. Her sporting success has made her a household name but her business ventures are just as fascinating.

In fact, her decorated career and impressive business partnerships could see her become the world’s first ever female athlete billionaire.

As the most successful female singles player of the Open Era, the US star is extremely marketable. Williams currently has a net worth of $225 million, which Petcash has predicted to rise significantly based on her investments.
