Serena Williams, 35, told Uninterrupted how she handled her first million dollar check, which she says she “never touched.”
“I just put it in the bank and I just remember I went through the drive through to deposit my check,” she said. “They were like, ‘I think you need to come in for this.’ So I ended up going inside.”
She continued, “I should have taken a picture of it. Selfies didn’t exist back then.”
As Williams’ career took off, so did her finances, but the expectant mother says it was just a byproduct of her passion for tennis.
“I’ve actually never played for money. I thought you would just go out there and you would hold a trophy,” she said. “Not once did I think about a check. In fact, when I first turned pro, you had to go pick up your check.”
“At the end of the year, the tournament directors would literally hand me the check because I would never go get it,” she said. “I just played for the love of the sport.”
