Venus Williams — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Venus Williams has an estimated net worth of $95 million as of 2026, built through a tennis career that produced seven Grand Slam titles and one of sport's most significant advocacy achievements — her campaign for equal prize money at Grand Slam tournaments, which ultimately led to Wimbledon adopting equal pay in 2007. The California-born player has earned over $42 million in career prize money and maintains active business ventures even as she continues to compete at 45 years old.
Williams founded V Starr Interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, an athletic wear brand — two businesses that reflect her diverse interests beyond tennis. Her endorsement history with Wilson, Kraft, and various fashion brands has generated tens of millions across her career. She has managed her career with an autoimmune condition (Sjogren's syndrome) diagnosed in 2011, making her continued professional play a testament to her dedication and physical management.
Venus and her younger sister Serena represent the greatest sibling partnership in sports history, winning 14 Grand Slam doubles titles together and competing at the same tournaments for over two decades. Their story — two sisters from Compton, California trained on public courts by their father Richard — inspired the film King Richard (2021). Venus was the dominant force in women's tennis in the late 1990s and early 2000s before Serena's eventual dominance. At 45 in 2026, she remains active on tour, an extraordinary testament to her fitness and love of the sport.
