My friends don’t just make moves, they make history! This is incredible. Today, Serena Williams made history and we couldn’t be prouder! My girl is currently on the cover of Forbes. Why you may be asking? She’s the first athlete to make Forbes richest self-made issue! I couldn’t be prouder of my girl! Check out her cover below.
Serena Williams Makes History as First Athlete to Make Forbes Self-Made List
Forbes and Serena announced the news via social media. Here’s what Serena had to say on making history: “Be the brand. Starting @Serena and @Serena.Ventures are just a few steps. Honored to be the first athlete on @Forbes #SelfMadeWomen list.”
“I want to be a part of it,” she told Forbes. “I want to be in the infrastructure. I want to be the brand, instead of just being the face.” Serena has been “really leaning” on her husband, Alexis Ohanian, for support and mentorship, a fitting mentor since he’s the co-founder of Reddit. Forbes predicts Ohanian is worth $70 million.
So proud of my girl! Congrats, Serena! This is what it’s all about!
