Serial Winner & Celebrity Mum, Serena Williams, Serves Major Inspiration To Women Yet Again

Celebrity mum-of-one and 23-time Grand Slam winner, Serena Williams has made herself, family, and many women across the world proud. The tennis star has just made history as the first athlete to make Forbes’ list of the World’s Richest Self-Made Women.

According to the publication, the 23-time Grand Slam champion made the list as a result of her estimated fortune of $224m (£177m). The majority of William’s fortune has been made as a result of her “brain and brand rather than her backhand”, according to Forbes, with the star investing in 34 startup businesses in the past five years alone.
