Venus Williams Signed A Reported $12M Reebok Deal When She Was Only 15 Years Old

In April 2000, her contract with Reebok expired. However, the company had no intention of losing the star athlete. Venus, who won her first Wimbledon tournament against defending champion Lindsay Davenport within that same year, would sign a new contract with Reebok in December 2000. The deal was reportedly valued at $40 million across five years, per the outlet.
