Serena Williams has never been just a tennis player — she’s a walking masterclass in domination, on and off the court. And now? She’s proving once again why retirement doesn’t mean irrelevant. In fact, the only thing Serena’s smashing these days are glass ceilings — with her husband Alexis Ohanian right by her side.
The internet nearly combusted this week after Serena and Alexis announced their latest jaw-dropping venture — a strategic investment in a biotech startup that’s already been dubbed “the future of women’s health.” Wait, hold up. Serena’s dropping equity bombs now?
Apparently, yes. Because the power couple just poured millions into a female-founded tech company focused on reproductive health — and did it with a message that’s as loud as one of her Wimbledon aces: “Women’s health deserves the same energy we give every other industry.”
Let that one sink in while your jaw adjusts itself.
Fans are calling it the “business flex of the year,” while Forbes is already predicting the move will multiply her billion-dollar fortune. One user joked, “Serena doesn’t play tennis anymore, she plays Monopoly — and she owns Boardwalk, Park Place, AND your startup.”
Of course, Alexis — co-founder of Reddit and certified king of “Girl Dad” energy — isn’t just tagging along. He’s reportedly behind the push to bring more visibility (and coin) to underserved markets. But everyone knows Serena is the star of this empire. She’s got the brand, the brains, and the bank.
This isn’t her first rodeo, either. She’s already got Serena Ventures, a fashion line, a stake in the Miami Dolphins, and oh, just casually invested in more than 60 startups — many of them women- and minority-led. Basically, if Serena believes in you, the money follows.
Meanwhile, Olympia’s probably in the playroom doing flashcards on equity rounds while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to unsubscribe from Netflix.
So what’s the moral here? While some celebs fade after retirement, Serena is out here crafting a legacy that hits harder than any serve she ever delivered. She’s gone from tennis icon to investment queen, and her latest move with Alexis is proof: the Williams-Ohanian household isn’t just goals — it’s the blueprint.
Retired? Please. Serena’s just getting started.
