MARIA SHARAPOVA has gone from dominating the tennis court to becoming a top business guru.
That’s after three of the companies she invests in were named in the Time 100 Most Influential Companies.
Maria Sharapova has gone from dominating tennis to dominating the business world
Sharapova won Wimbledon aged 17 and is now finding success with companies she’s invested in
Russian ace Sharapova, 36, was once the No1 ranked ace in tennis – as well as the sexiest player in the game.
She won five Grand Slams during a stunning career, including Wimbledon at the age of 17 in just her second year as a pro.
Sharapova ended up retiring in 2020, four years after failing a drugs test at the Australian Open.
And since calling time on her tennis career, she has entered the business world by making savvy investments using her £30million earnings.
It’s all just a drop in the water compared to her candy store Sugarpova, which is worth £150m after being in business for a decade.
But Sharapova’s income is sure to have skyrocketed again after finding success with three companies.
The trio have all been named in the Time 100 Most Influential Companies list.
And Sharapova beamed on Instagram: “Proud to be an investor and partner in three brands that made this year’s Time influential list.”
The first company is called Happiest Baby, selling secure cots for snoozing infants.
Sharapova said: “Several years ago, I met the team behind what would become a baby’s nursery must-have. A crib designed to reduce SIDS risk.”
The next company is Therabody, who manufacture gadgets designed to help recovery for athletes.
Sharapova declared: “A company that has played an important role in my physical recovery. And has grown into an amazing wellness offering.”
The third and final company is Metaphysics, who specialise in Artificial Intelligence.
Sharapova added: “My first investment into the AI space started with this brilliant team.”
