While Ohanian has invested in women’s sports, Serena Williams has been investing massively in the business world, particularly in cryptocurrencies. Currently, Serena is on the sidelines since last year’s Wimbledon owing to a hamstring injury. In the meantime, she is using her off time by investing in various businesses and is occupied with her business ventures.
