It\u2019s been two years since Serena Williams<\/strong><\/a> hung up her tennis racket in 2022 after becoming the sport\u2019s biggest star for almost three decades. During a July 2024 appearance on Hot Ones<\/em>, the four-time Olympic gold medalist reflected on her experience cashing out a $1 million check. Serena shamelessly admitted that she tried to deposit her large amount of tennis earnings through the ATM and was told she needed \u201cto come inside\u201d with that much money.<\/p>\n The incident seemingly happened in the early stages of her career, leading fans to wonder what her net worth<\/a> is after retirement.\n<\/p>\n The tennis legend\u2019s 2024 net worth is $340 million, according to Forbes<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Serena began playing tennis at just 4 years old.<\/p>\n After announcing her plans to move on from the game in August 2022, the GOAT played her last match during the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open on September 2, 2022, losing to Ajla Tomljanovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been reluctant to admit to myself or anyone else that I have to move on from playing tennis. Alexis, my husband, and I have hardly talked about it; it\u2019s like a taboo topic. I can\u2019t even have this conversation with my mom and dad. It\u2019s like it\u2019s not real until you say it out loud,\u201d Serena penned for\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0magazine<\/a>, referring to her husband,\u00a0Alexis Ohanian<\/strong>, and her parents,\u00a0Richard Williams<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Oracene Price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt comes up, I get an uncomfortable lump in my throat, and I start to cry. The only person I\u2019ve really gone there with is my therapist! One thing I\u2019m not going to do is sugarcoat this.\u00a0I know that a lot of people are excited about and look forward to retiring, and I really wish I felt that way,\u201d she continued. \u201cAshleigh Barty<\/strong>\u00a0was number one in the world when she left the sport this March, and I believe she really felt ready to move on.\u00a0Caroline Wozniacki<\/strong>, who is one of my best friends, felt a sense of relief when she retired in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat Is Serena Williams\u2019 Net Worth?<\/h2>\n
