JAKARTA - Serena Williams has signaled that she will soon leave the tennis world that made her name. How much will he earn after he retires?

Serena is considered one of the best female tennis players of all time and she is certainly the highest earner. In the past year, Serena has earned US$30 million to US$40 million in revenue and endorsements in the field.

For example, between June 2019 and June 2020, Serena earned US$35 million, of which about US$20 million came from endorsements. Thanks to such steady income, his estimated net worth is now around 250 million US dollars.

However, Serena's income will undergo a change in the near future as she will be retiring from the sport soon. He said in Vogue magazine that the US Open should be his last major tournament, having won 23 Grand Slams.

He also shared an Instagram post alluding to retirement.

"Unfortunately, I'm not ready to win Wimbledon this year and I don't know if I'll be ready to win New York, but I will try," he wrote.

"I know there was a fan fantasy that I might have tied up Margaret that day in London, then maybe beat her record in New York, and then at the trophy ceremony said, 'See you!'

"I see. It's a good fantasy. But I'm not looking for a ceremonial moment, a final on the pitch.

"I'm terrible at breakups, the worst in the world. But know that I have more to thank you for than I can express in words."

Serena has been ranked number one in the world eight times and has earned more prize money than any other female tennis player in history.

She has earned more than 90 million US dollars in prize money of her tennis career. She has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles and fourteen doubles titles with her sister Venus Williams. He also won gold medals at the Sydney, Beijing and London Olympics.

Thanks to various endorsement deals and other business interests he has, he may be able to recoup most of his tennis income in retirement.
