Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams, says he doesn’t want his son Dylan to follow in his footsteps of his half-sisters. “There’s not enough money in the sport,” he says.

 

 

Reeves Wiedeman talked to the most famous father in tennis for a Talk of the Town piece in this week’s issue of The New Yorker.

 

 

Serena Williams, Venus with dad Richard Williams“‘With the things I know now, Venus and Serena wouldn’t have been there,’ [Williams] said. ‘Look at Donald Sterling … What sport do you think he played? Not one! And he makes enough to pay every single player.’ Richard had wanted Serena and Venus to become millionaires; his goal for Dylan has three additional zeroes. ‘He’ll never be a billionaire in tennis,’ he said.

Williams tells Wiedeman that Dylan should avoid the tennis court in favor of learning about commodities such as gold, which isn’t a bad idea, to be honest.
