Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player who is also a former World No. 1.
She has won more Grand Slam titles in singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles than any other active female player. She won 27 Grand Slam titles: 13 in singles, 12 in women's doubles, and 2 in mixed doubles. She is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously and only the fifth woman in history to do so.
Williams formerly had a special line with Puma and currently has a line with Nike. The deal with Nike is worth US$40 million and was signed in April 2004. Since 2004, she has also been running her own line of designer apparel called "Aneres"—her first name spelled backward. In 2009 she launched a signature collection of handbags and jewelry. The collection, called Signature Statement, is sold mainly on the Home Shopping Network (HSN).
Also last year Williams sisters became minority owners in the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
