The American tennis champion Serena Williams has excelled emphatically even in the business world. Recently, Poshmark, a resale shopping app she has invested in, made a fortune overnight.

Amid the pandemic outbreak, the entire world resolved their needs through e-commerce outlets. In this scenario, Poshmark became essential as it allowed Americans to both buy and sell new/used clothes, shoes, and accessories.

When it comes to Serena’s investing side, she is all about supporting entrepreneurs. “I love working with a company that gives anyone an opportunity to become an entrepreneur,” Serena said.

Considering the 5-hour training period for players during quarantine in Australian bubbles, Serena will be prepared in time for the Slam. Her coach, Frenchman Patrick Mouratoglou, has already sent out a warning to her opponents.

While many have predicted that this might be the last tennis season for the former World No. 1, Williams seems far from sharing that thought. However, if she equals Margaret Court’s all-time most major titles record, things might change.
