Whoa, okay, so let’s dive into the whirlwind that is Serena Williams’ life these days. I mean, this woman has basically taken “retirement” and turned it into some kind of turbo-charged next level career – if you can even call it a career, because it’s more like she’s just, well, being Serena. So, first off, the big news, Time has slapped her on their list of the world’s most influential people for 2025. No biggie, right? Just chilling with folks like Simone Biles and that legendary Saturday Night Live guy, Lorne Michaels. Titans, they call them. Fitting, but also kinda funny if you picture Serena, like, actually as a titan. But I digress.
So she’s like, retired from tennis, but seriously, is she? Misses it, obviously—she says with “all her heart.” Serena, if you’re reading this, I feel you. It’s kinda like leaving high school and reminiscing every now and then. Best days and all that. But it’s almost like she just swapped her racket for, uh, basically a bazooka? Like a metaphorical one, of course. She’s invested in over 120 companies! I can barely manage my Netflix binge schedule. Fourteen of those are unicorns, valued over a billion. Let that sink in. Imagine picking 14 lottery tickets and they all win.
And just when you think she’s done, nope, she’s on stage at the Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar. Imagine going, “Oh yeah, I danced at the halftime show. No big deal.” I wasn’t there, obviously, but if I had been, I’d probably have been staring, jaw on the floor. Serena also owns a chunk of the Toronto Tempo, a WNBA team. Because why not? I mean, sure, owning a sports team is just what you do in your free time, apparently.
In conclusion, or maybe it’s not a conclusion, and I’m just tripping over my own thoughts here, Serena is kind of, well, unstoppable. Turning retirement into something this epic? Unreal. Just makes you wonder what’s next. Space travel? Global domination? Honestly, who knows, but I’d bet she’d do it with that classic Serena flair.
