 Serena Williams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Serena Williams remains a magnet for both headlines and celebration even three years after her retirement from professional tennis. Just days ago, Williams dazzled on the red carpet at the 2025 TIME100 Gala in New York, rubbing shoulders with fellow honorees such as Blake Lively and Demi Moore. The star-studded event at Jazz at Lincoln Center reinforced her status as a cultural icon, recognized as one of TIME’s Most Influential People of 2025. Red carpet coverage from the evening showcased Serena’s signature glamour and poise, easily holding her own among global luminaries according to PEOPLE and AOL.

On the business front, Williams continues her ascent as a powerhouse entrepreneur. Finance Monthly recently profiled her ever-growing financial empire, pegging her net worth at approximately 300 million dollars as of June 2025. This extraordinary sum comes not just from prize money—she still holds the all-time record for women’s tennis, with 95 million dollars in career earnings—but from shrewd investments through Serena Ventures, her active portfolio in technology, beauty, media, and sports. The article notes her keen focus on diversity, with Serena Ventures having backed over 85 startups, including 14 unicorns. She remains closely identified with her beauty brand and her role in shaping early-stage companies that reflect her commitment to inclusion and innovation.

Adding to her public-facing activities, Williams turned heads on social media this week with a set of stunning Instagram photos, flaunting a floor-length gown and sharing a motivational, almost poetic caption about resilience and dignity, quoting Tupac’s “keep your head up.” Her posts quickly drew media attention, highlighting not just her style but her inspirational ethos and active connection with her fan base.

In entertainment news, Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) just announced a forthcoming video podcast featuring Serena and Venus Williams. The project is part of the platform’s ambitious push into original video content. While details remain in the early stages and there is some industry skepticism about X’s ability to draw advertisers for new originals, the involvement of the Williams sisters signals a major bet on marquee star power.

Williams’ investment activities also intersect with her personal life. Sportskeeda reports that she and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, recently became co-owners of Chelsea Women, having purchased a 10 percent stake in the top-tier soccer club. Both Williams and Ohanian are careful to keep their business ventures largely separate, though their public commentary often highlights mutual support and savvy.

Williams’ athletic legacy continues to color the tennis conversation. As Wimbledon 2025 unfolds and a new first-time women’s singles champion is about to be crowned for the eighth consecutive year, pundits and fans alike are reflecting on the era when Serena dominated the sport—her back-to-back titles a decade ago standing as a marker of one of the last periods of true stability atop the women’s game. With the draws now wide open and upsets rampant, her absence makes her era look even more extraordinary, as reported by The Indian Express.

Finally, on the lighter side, viral video clips surfaced this week showing Serena surprising fans with impromptu dance sessions in public, a further testament to her irrepressible charisma and knack for delighting audiences far beyond the tennis court.
