In 2009, Venus and Serena Williams became minority owners of Miami Dolphins! The pair made history as the NFL franchise's first-ever Black women to hold the title. But why the Miami Dolphins if sisters were originally raised in California? Well, that's because the Williams family moved from Compton, California to West Palm Beach, Florida in 1990 for the girls to attend the prestigious Rick Macci International Tennis Academy.
"To have this opportunity is really where our heart is," Venus explained to NFL.com. "We're South Florida girls. When we get off the road, this is where we come home to. When we come home to Dolphins games, it's going to be exciting."
But Venus and Serena do more than just attend games at the Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins in Miami Gardens, Florida. They have also worked toward the charitable advancement of the Miami Dolphins Foundation. Per ESPN, Gloria Estefan, Emilio Estefan, Marc Anthony, Fergie are fellow minority owners of the team.
