For example, between June 2019 and June 2020 Serena earned $35 million, of which roughly $20 million came from endorsements. Early Life: Serena Jameka Williams was born on September 26, 1981 in Saginaw, Michigan but spent some of her childhood in Compton, California. She and her sister, Venus Williams, were steered towards tennis at a very early age. Both girls were homeschooled to maximize the amount of time available for practice. Her father, Richard Williams and mother Oracene Price served as her official coaches. Other mentors helped her learn the game young, including Richard Williams who would go on to found The Venus and Serena Williams Tennis/Tutorial Academy. When Serena was nine, she and her family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida so she could attend Rick Macci’s tennis academy. In 1995, their father pulled the daughters out of Macci’s academy and took over again as their official coach. Career: Serena Williams has been ranked number one in the world eight times and has earned more prize money than any other female tennis player in history. As of 2020, Williams has earned more than $90 million in career prize money. She has won 23 singles Grand Slam titles and fourteen doubles titles with her sister Venus Williams. She also won gold medals at the Sydney, Beijing and London Olympics. Williams played in her first professional tournament in 1995 at the age of 14. At the 1997 Ameritech Cup, a  No. 304 ranked Williams made quite a splash by upsetting the No. 7 and No. 4 ranked players before ultimately being beaten in the semifinals. The wins propelled her career and she ended 1997 with the rank of No. 99. The following year saw a number of high-profile wins, including some doubles titles at Grand Slam events like Wimbledon and the US Open. However, her first singles title continued to elude her. In 1999, Williams began to show her early dominance, defeating a string of top players and winning her first Grand Slam singles tournament, the US Open. Serena Williams continued to assert her dominance in the first few years of the 2000s, finally reaching the No. 1 ranking in 2002. That year she also won three Grand Slam titles: the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, beating none other than her sister, Venus, in the final of each tournament. In 2003, she claimed her fourth Grand Slam title, the Australian Open.

The next few years saw her struggle with both health and personal issues including knee surgery and the death of her half-sister, Yetunde.
