Serena and Venus Williams are legends of the world of tennis with a combined net worth of almost $400 million (£312m) and multiple major titles to their name.
Serena has a solo net worth of $300m (£234m) and Venus is worth $95m (£74m), according to Celebrity Net Worth. Both of the sisters have won Wimbledon multiple times in the past but are both absent from this year’s tournament – with Serena retired and Venus opting out.
The pair began their tennis career at just 14 years old, with Venus in 1994 and Serena a year later in 1995, and were coached by their parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price.
Venus has won seven Grand Slam singles titles, five at Wimbledon and two at the US Open, with Serena winning an eye-watering 23 Grand Slam singles titles in her illustrious career. Serena has won the Australian Open seven times, the French Open three times, the US Open six times and Wimbledon a whopping seven times.

As well as this, the pair have won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles which includes four Australian Open titles, two Roland Garros titles, six Wimbledon titles, and two US Open titles. The impressive part of this statistic is that they’ve never lost a final when playing together, boasting an incredible 14-0 record when playing doubles together in the final round.
Serena announced her retirement from the sport in 2022 but admitted at the time that she didn’t like the word ‘retirement’ and instead dubbed her exit from tennis as a “transition”.
Speaking to Vogue in 2022, Serena said: “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.
“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.”
