“That Has Stuck With Me”: Serena Williams Recalls Her Best Financial Advisor Ever

American star Serena Williams has won so many titles and along with that, she has earned a lot of money. She could do anything with it but she chose to follow her father’s financial advice. This advice was told to her when she was very young but she still remembers it and she has just revealed what it is.

Serena Williams On Her Father’s Advice

In a recent talk with Chase Bank, Serena Williams spoke a lot about money and worth. She revealed the incredible advice that was given to her by her father as she said, “My dad always said ‘athletes lose their money,’ He always talked about the importance of not losing it once you get it and not just buying everything you see. That has stuck with me for my whole life. It was really about when you get something, have a plan on what you want to do, how you want to spend it, or how you want to invest it or how you want to save it.”

The American star went on to reveal how she applied this advice to her very first paycheck. She did not buy anything but she went and deposited it right in the bank. Obviously, after earning a lot more money, she has started to invest it, especially in Serena Ventures.

The American star founded Serena Ventures back in 2014 with the goal of giving opportunities to early-stage companies. She wants those companies to be heard and so far, she has invested in 30 companies across multiple industries. This project is obviously very close to her heart and that is why she directs a lot of focus to it. However, right now, the American star’s main focus is on the 2020 US Open which starts in a couple of days. She wants to win her 24th Slam there and like always, we can expect her to give it her all.
