Naomi Osaka is one of the most popular tennis players across the globe not only for her incredible achievements but also for her multi-ethnicity. The former world no.1 was raised in the US by her mother Tamaki that is Japanese and her father Leonard Francois, from Haiti.
Naomi paid a visit to Haiti soon after she triumphed at the US Open back in 2018 and she stays close to her father’s country. Talking to Teen Vogue, when asked about what she would do if she had 1 billion dollars, she didn’t hesitate to reply:
“The first thing I’d do if I had a billion dollars [is] probably help my dad build his school in Haiti. He’s like really into it and they are building tennis courts and stuff. So, and I just think it’s cute when we see all the pictures of the kids playing tennis.”
