The tennis champion admitted on The Hottest on Thursday (July 4) that she was at least distracted when it came to winning in the early years of her career.
“I never played for money,” he assured. Which explains why Serena Williams was able to get away with it in her early days. So the tennis champion revealed on the American edition of Hot Ones on Thursday (July 4) that she once tried to cash a $1 million (€923,000) check at a vending machine, the first of her career.
“I never spent a lot of money,” he said. I just went to an ATM and an employee told me. “Um, I think you’ll have to go into the bank for that.” Serena Williams has also repeatedly forgotten to collect her awards over the years. “My accountant told me. “You didn’t get your money back?” he recalled. And I said: “Oh, I didn’t go and bring it to Zurich.” Or. “I forgot this one in Moscow.”

Contracts with sponsors
Restraint, which he partially attributes to his defeats. “I was playing to win, and if I didn’t win, I couldn’t think anymore,” he said. I was so angry that I just wanted to find a way to improve and win next time.” Since then, the tennis player has earned $94.8 million (€87.5 million) in winnings in this category.
He, who retired in 2022, offered another explanation for these oversights in a podcast The deal , in May. He confided that the request to sign a sponsor was overshadowing his winnings on the courts at the time. “I learned very early on that the paychecks from tennis, and maybe that’s why I forgot about them, had to be the smallest part of my income,” he concluded. Moreover, these small neglects did not bother him very much. Agreed Forbes: Serena Williams’ fortune today will be 340 million dollars (314 million euros).
