Venus Williams net worth: What to know about career earnings, properties and more after engagement confirmation
As fans rejoice at the news, here's a look at Venus Williams' net worth:
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Williams has a net worth of $95 million. Besides her career in sports, she also started her own fashion line, EleVen, in 2007. She released her first book, titled Come to Win on How Sports Can Help You Top Your Profession, in June 2010. She also appeared on various talk shows to promote her book, including The Early Show and Good Morning America.
Williams earned $38 million on the court through 2017, making her the second highest-earning female tennis player of all time, topping Maria Sharapova ($36.5 million). She even put her sister, Serena Williams
($85 million), behind. Williams' career earnings stood at more than $42 million as of March 2022.
Williams also made a whopping amount from endorsements – between $5 and $10 million per year – off the court.
Williams spent almost $10 million on a secluded waterfront 'retirement home' in 2019. She bought the property, with its own beach and private cottage, for her sister Serena in exclusive Jupiter Island, Florida. While the main house has three bedrooms, the property has two guesthouses, tropical gardens, beautiful ocean views, a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a bar.
Venus and Serena lived together in a Palm Beach Gardens mansion in Florida during their tennis days. They bought the house for more than $600,000 back in 1998, and 20 years later, they listed it for sale at $2.5 million.
Venus Williams announces engagement
Williams was asked by Rennae Stubbs in a post-match interview, "You are now an engaged woman. So, how has Andrea helped you in this comeback? You're happy, a smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?"
"My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing," Williams replied.
"There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill," she added. "Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play."

Washington is hoping to take a step forward in the Huskies' second Big Ten season
SEATTLE (AP) — Getting some strong quarterback play out of Demond Williams Jr. would go a long way as Washington looks to improve upon the 6-7 record it posted in its first Big Ten season. HT Image Williams, who appeared in 13 games for the Huskies as a freshman and completed over 78% of his passes, drew praise from first-year offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty at the beginning of fall practice, not just for his passing abilities, but also his attention to detail. 'Demond only had one interception on over 100 attempts,' Dougherty told reporters in July. 'If we can keep that ratio going, we're going to do a lot of good things in the passing game.' During head coach Jedd Fisch's first year at the helm, Washington did a solid job airing it out even before Williams took over for the final two games of the season. The Huskies ranked 32nd among FBS teams in passing yards per game (261.7), but struggled to consistently establish a run game. Washington running backs combined for 128.8 yards per contest, good for 100th in the country, though Jonah Coleman was a steady contributor by rushing for 1,053 yards and 10 touchdowns. With Williams and Coleman back in Seattle, as well as wide receiver Denzel Boston, who had 63 catches for 834 receiving yards in 2024, the Huskies have a trio of offensive weapons that can stack up with plenty of others in the conference. But, as Fisch noted, competition will be stiff in a conference that produced four College Football Playoff teams a year ago. 'We have a really, really good conference with really, really good coaches,' Fisch said. 'We have really good teams. We have a lot of big-name programs that have spent years and years building up rosters, coaching staffs, facilities, fan base, etc., to be able to prepare themselves to play in the Big Ten.' The Huskies will be hard-pressed to do much better in the secondary than they did in 2024, when they ranked second in the country with the fewest passing yards allowed per game. Washington returns cornerback Ephesians Prysock and has added fellow 6-foot-4 cornerback Tacario Davis to the mix. 'Obviously having 6-4 corners is something that not a lot of NFL teams can say,' first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Walters said. 'So, it allows you to be aggressive at the line of scrimmage. And, hopefully, those guys can make it hard for those guys on the outside.' While Boston returning for a fourth season bodes well for the Huskies' passing game, questions persist about who will most frequently line up at slot receiver. Following Washington's final open practice of fall camp, Fisch sang the praises of freshman Braiden Vines-Bright, as well as Kevin Green Jr., who missed last year due to injury, and Penn State transfer Omari Evans. From Fisch's perspective, it's an ongoing competition between John Mills and Paki Finau to see who will start at left guard for Washington in 2025. Finau, a redshirt freshman, and Mills, a freshman, don't bring much experience to the table, but both were highly regarded recruits. 'Those two guys continue to battle it out,' Fisch said. '...I would expect alternating in some regard. But, really good job by Mills stepping in as a true freshman, and Paki keeps getting better.' The Huskies open at home against Colorado State on Aug. 30 and visit rival Washington State on Sept. 20. Washington's first conference game comes at Husky Stadium against Ohio State on Sept. 27. The Huskies' longest road trip is Oct. 4 at Maryland. Washington also travels to Michigan on Oct. 18 and Wisconsin on Nov. 8. The Huskies conclude their season at home against rival Oregon on Nov. 29. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

Scottie Scheffler doesn't like comparisons to Tiger Woods. But Tiger inspired him
ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler shies away from comparisons to Tiger Woods even as the numbers are starting to make that inevitable. HT Image Scheffler has been No. 1 in the world longer than anyone since Woods. He is the first player since Woods to have five-plus wins in back-to-back years. He comes into the Tour Championship on a streak of 13 tournaments in the top 10. 'It's very silly to be compared to Tiger Woods,' Scheffler said. 'I think Tiger is a guy that stands alone in the game of golf, and I think he always will. Tiger inspired a whole generation of golfers. You've grown up watching that guy do what he did week in, week out, it was pretty amazing to see.' Scheffler was amazed by the only time he played with him in a tournament, a moment nearly five years ago that shaped the way the 29-year-old from Dallas now dominates his sport. It was the final round of the Masters in November 2020, both of them 11 shots out of the lead with no chance to win. What stands out from that autumn Sunday was Woods making a 10 on the par-3 12th hole and then made birdie on five of his last six holes. Scheffler remembers the opening hole just as well. As he looks back to the start of his pro career, Scheffler felt he was guilty of not giving himself enough chances at winning and rarely being in the final group. 'I always found myself just a little bit on the outside looking in, and that's one of the things I learned from playing with Tiger,' he said. "We're in 20th place or whatever going into Sunday at the Masters. Tiger has won five Masters, he's got no chance of winning the tournament. Then we showed up on the first hole and I was watching him read his putt, and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this guy is in it right now.' 'That was something that I just thought about for a long time,' Scheffler said. "I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. And I feel like the reason I've had success in these tournaments is ... just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf is not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard, and you compete hard on every shot.' That's what golf has witnessed since Scheffler finally broke through at the WM Phoenix Open in 2022, and within two months he was a Masters champion and No. 1 in the world. It doesn't mean he wins every week — golf is still golf, an impossible game to master. This week is an example of that. The change to the format in the Tour Championship put emphasis on getting to East Lake, and now the top 30 players start from scratch for 72 holes to see who wins the FedEx Cup. Scheffler has no advantage by starting at 10-under par, nor does he have a points advantage. It's a welcome change for most players because they signed off on it. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion, says he didn't mind the starting strokes because great play should get some reward. 'I didn't hate the starting strokes. I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here,' McIlroy said. 'But you could also argue if it was starting strokes this week, Scottie with a two-shot lead, it probably isn't enough considering what he's done this year.' Scheffler started with a two-shot lead each of the last three years and it still took him the third try to win the FedEx Cup. He loves the pressure of competing. And besides, not starting with an advantage is sure to get his attention from the start. He has his caddie, Ted Scott, back on the bag this week as Scott is dealing with a family emergency. Scheffler is quick to point out how his career took off when he brought in Scott to work with all the preparation he put into his job. This year has been as good as any considering he started late because of hand surgery, and he added the PGA Championship and British Open to his two previous Masters titles. But it's not over yet. Scheffler was reminded of that in 2022 when he lost a six-shot lead in the final round to McIlroy. That was the year he won his first Masters, rose to No. 1 in the world and had four victories. But when he returned home, he was met with condolences for not winning at East Lake. 'It just irked me so bad finishing off the year where guys were like: 'Hey, great playing, I'm sorry about how it ended.' It's like, 'You know what, man, I won the Masters this year, won a few other tournaments.' It was a pretty good year.' The tournament starts Thursday. It's already been a good year for Scheffler. ___ AP golf:
