She is not at the Paris Olympics but she is enjoying the sunny Italian summer; Venus Williams was spotted while enjoying her vacation on a boat on the Amalfi Coast with her new (alleged) boyfriend, the Italian actor, director and writer Andrea Preti.
The legendary American tennis player was in Nerano, in the company of the Italian actor. The two were photographed in intimate and private attitudes, which suggest that there is something more between them than a simple acquaintance or friendship, as can be seen from the photos shared by the Instagram account deuxmoi.
Serena and Venus, during their careers have won many tournaments, taking home millions of dollars in prize money, so much so that they have entered the ranking of the richest tennis players ever. In addition to the prize money, there are also millionaire sponsorship contracts and investments that today bring in millions of dollars. Serena retired from competitive tennis in 2022, her sister Venus, although officially still active, no longer plays tournaments and has slipped below 400 in the world.
Serena concluded her career with 73 titles, including 23 Majors. Unfortunately, she was unable to equal or surpass the 24 of Australian Margaret Court, but I continue to maintain that Serena is the GOAT of tennis. Venus has won 49 titles in her career, including 7 Majors and 5 Olympic medals: one gold in singles, three in doubles with Serena, and a silver in mixed doubles.

Serena accumulated $94.6 million and is number 4 among the richest tennis players of all time behind sacred monsters like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer, but in first place in the women’s category. In second place is her sister Venus with a prize pool of $42.4 million. Rich endorsement deals and corporate investments did the rest. Serena has about a dozen of them and since she retired she has become very popular in the United States, especially on television. She is exactly 90th, with an estimated net worth of 260 million dollars in the ranking of the richest self-made women in America.
Then there are the investments. Serena is the owner of the clothing brand S for Serena and since she retired she has invested in start-ups. She founded Serena Ventures, a fund that invests mainly in companies created by women. The fund has invested in over 60 companies.
