Maria Sharapova
Former World No. 1 Maria Sharapova is a successful businesswoman, but the Russian tennis beauty has revealed that she never intended to become a brand.
Post retirement, Maria, 33, who has won five Grand Slam titles, invested her time and money into various business ventures besides her own candy company, Sugarpova. "Well, I never thought of it as creating a 'Maria Sharapova brand' - I was always doing things that I really loved. The bottom line is people determine who you are and what you are by the things that they read and see. When I woke up every morning, my priority was to become a champion at my sport," she was quoted as saying by
essentiallysports.com.
Maria recently signed a deal with a tech wellness firm where she will also be an advisory board member and consultant. In addition to that, she is also the co-owner of a sunscreen brand.
