Serena Williams
Iconic Professional Tennis Player & Olympic Gold Medalist; Activist, Philanthropist & Entrepreneur
Serena Williams embodies style, power, beauty and courage. Like numerous A-list celebrities, Williams is recognized by the mere mention of her first name. Her remarkable tennis skills have sky-rocketed her to fame, but only her unique charm and drive could explain her successful endeavors outside of tennis in film, television, fashion and philanthropy.
Considered one of the greatest women's tennis players of all time in a career hampered by numerous injuries, Williams has won more Grand Slam titles in singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles than any other active female player. She is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously, and is only the fifth woman in history to do so. Williams also holds the distinction of having more singles titles than any other men's or women's tennis players in the Open Era.
The Wimbledon singles champion has also earned Olympic Gold Medals in tennis. Williams became only the second woman and fourth tennis player in history to accomplish what's known as the "Golden Slam," winning all four of the sport's majors and Olympic singles gold.
Also passionate about fashion, Williams has had several lines of designer products, including Aneres (her first name spelled backwards), Serena Williams Signature Statement, and Glam Slam. In February 2019, she was appointed to the board of directors of online fashion marketplace Poshmark.
Williams is also deeply committed to philanthropic causes. She visits schools and hospitals and conducts tennis clinics for at-risk youth. She helped to fund the construction of the Serena Williams Secondary School in Matooni, Kenya. She is a supporter of the Special Olympics and the Arthur Ashe Foundation and has also worked with other groups addressing learning disabilities, ovarian cancer, homelessness and literacy programs. Williams has also received several awards for her activism, particularly for her activism directed towards Black communities.
In 2015, she became the first black female athlete to have a picture by herself on the cover of Vogue, which she did for the April 2015 issue. In 2019, she was ranked 63rd in Forbes' World's Highest-Paid Athletes list.
