Serena and Venus Williams, renowned figures in the history of tennis, boast numerous Grand Slam victories and a wide array of WTA tour titles. With a combined career prize money totaling approximately $136 million, the sisters invested a portion of their earnings during their peak tennis years to buy a mansion in LA for their mother, Oracene Price. Now, the same property in Woodland Hills is listed on the market for $4.6 million.
In 2005, Serena and Venus Williams experienced a triumphant season, with Serena claiming victory at the Australian Open and Venus securing the Wimbledon title. During this successful period, they made the decision to purchase a mansion for their mother in LA’s Woodland Hills neighborhood.
The exact value of the property at the time of purchase is undisclosed. However, after Oracene Price resided in the home for 15 years, it was sold for $2 million in 2019. Remarkably, just five years later, the property is now listed on the market with a starting price of $4.64 million, as reported by Figure 8 Realty.
The 1.4-acre property boasts several impressive features, including seven bedrooms, a pool, an expansive open kitchen, walk-in closets, a living room with a fireplace, an 18-foot vaulted ceiling, three garages, and even a tennis court. Described as “ideal for the most discerning California lifestyle buyers” by Figure 8 Realty, this property offers luxury and comfort tailored to sophisticated tastes.
The Williams sisters, with a combined net worth of nearly $400 million—$300 million for Serena and $95 million for Venus—could have significantly increased their wealth had they waited five years to sell the lavish property in 2024. Each sister could have added more than $1.3 million to their net worths with the sale.
Serena Williams has a substantial real estate portfolio, including properties in Los Angeles and Florida. The 23-time Grand Slam champion also owns a residence in Paris, which serves as her European base.
Venus Williams also boasts a strong real estate portfolio, with properties in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as acquisitions in Hobe Sound and Hollywood Hills, among other locations.
