Serena Williams

(USA) "The Diva"

THE LOWDOWN:
With a love of the big stage and all that comes with it, "The Diva" steals the spotlight wherever she goes. Equally capable of making a statement with forehand or fashion. Two-time US Open champ may make the US open Series her own personal runway. $2 million buys a lot of boots.
