It has been three years since the Russian tennis legend Maria Sharapova bid farewell to professional tennis. However, since then, we have heard the ripples of her influence in her off-court endeavors.

Apart from that, the whole trip seemed quite splendid as she talked about her champion mindset and entrepreneurial journey. This entrepreneurial journey started with Supergoop eleven years ago. Since then, she has not looked back.

How did Sharapova get into the business world? 

It was eleven years ago that Sharapova first stepped into the world investment. At that point, a lot of players were turning from brand ambassadors to brand owners.

Sharapova, too, wanted to do that. However, instead of making an impulsive decision, she approached her favorite skincare brand, Supergoop. She followed the working of the brand for a few months and then finally invested her money in it. Consequently, after all these years, the brand evaluation of Supergoop has gone to a whopping $750 million.

Now, with multiple business endeavors, the five-time Grand Slam champion has become a successful entrepreneur and investor.
