Venus Williams is no stranger to fame. After all, the tennis force turned professional way back in 1994 and was joined on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour by her sister Serena Williams just a year later. In the time since, no other female player has come close to matching the sisters' net worths and earning power. TL;DR: It's safe to say we can all learn a thing or two from the tennis pros!

Over the course of her career, Venus has won over $42,513,897 in prize money, according to the WTA. We're not even shocked by that jaw-dropping figure TBH, since back in 2019 the tennis star was the 10th highest-paid female athlete in the world and earned a whopping $5.9 million that year--$5 million of which came straight from endorsements alone.

Venus' success is already beyond impressive, but when you consider the fact that, for a majority of the history of tennis, female players were paid significantly less than their male counterparts, it takes her icon status to new heights. Like, back in 2007 (aka the year that Venus earned her fourth Wimbledon tournament win), she actually became the first female tennis player to receive prize money equal to that of the male winner.

So, while Venus may not have quite the same net worth as Serena, she has certainly made her mark in the tennis world and amassed a significant fortune of her own.
