Serena Williams and Venus Williams are known by their fans primarily for their endeavors in tennis, but they hold a place beyond that. Not only are the sisters talented in sports but also when it comes to being entrepreneurs. All this started when they began their journey in business by making one of their initial investments in 2019 in the Miami Dolphins.

A national football league as an investment turned out extremely resourceful for the sisters not only because now it is valued at $5.3 billion but also because it opened a path for entrepreneurship for them. Serena Williams also previously shared how investing in the league was not only an investment but also an emotional journey for them as it connects to their childhood time.

And that is the reason they celebrate the success of the team so greatly and closely. Besides that, this investment also allows Serena and Venus to turn to their entrepreneurial side and excel there.
