Tennis legend Serena Williams has made millions of dollars throughout her illustrious career, but she admitted to trying to cash one of her checks at a drive-thru ATM.
Yes, Williams admitted on the hit show “Hot Ones” that the story about him trying to cash a $1 million check at a bank's drive-through ATM is 100 percent true.
“I've never really spent a lot of money,” she told host Sean Evans. “I was just very serious. I don't know what happened to me. I used to be very serious.”

“So I went through the drive-thru and the attendant said, 'Um, I think we should bring this in,'” Williams added.
Williams' dominance on the court has had a major impact on tennis and women's sports as a whole, and with that success has come huge earnings: she has won 23 major championships and earned $94.8 million over her career, and that doesn't even include the many endorsement deals she has racked up along the way.

“I played because I loved sports,” she said. “I wanted to be the best. I wanted to win. At the time, I didn't even know if I wanted to be the best. I just wanted to win.”
“My tax accountant was like, 'I haven't received the money' and I was like, 'I haven't received the money' and I was like, 'Yeah, I didn't receive it in Zurich and I forgot about it in Moscow'. I was just playing to win so if I didn't win I didn't think about it. I was so angry so I just wanted to get better and think about how to win next time.”
Williams, 42, has retired from tennis and now spends much of her time focusing on her family, including her husband Alexis Ohanian and their two daughters, six-year-old Olympia and 11-month-old Adria.
