Serena Williams' $150 million-worth husband Alexis Ohanian indirectly reveals which video game instilled the love of entrepreneurship in him

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently shed light on the game that seemingly inspired his journey into entrepreneurship. Ohanian often shares insights into his life on social media.

Ohanian, a seasoned entrepreneur and co-founder of the popular social media platform Reddit, met Serena Williams in 2015. The couple married two years later in 2017.

Ohanian found significant success at Initialized Capital, which he co-founded in 2010 and where he served as Managing Partner until 2020. The firm invested in prominent startups like Coinbase, Instacart, Opendoor, Zenefits, and Cruise, amassing over $500 million in total investments.

Interestingly, a video game played a role in sparking Ohanian's passion for entrepreneurship. Charlie Light, head of content at Enduring Ventures, recently shared an image of the iconic video game RollerCoaster Tycoon, a popular series focused on constructing and managing amusement parks, on X (formerly Twitter).

"If you played this game as a kid, you're an entrepreneur now," he captioned the post.

Ohanian reacted to the post, writing:

"True."

Ohanian currently leads the venture capital firm Seven Seven Six, which has achieved notable success. Two years ago, the firm raised over $500 million across two new funds. Ohanian is also a major investor in the Los Angeles Golf Club and the National Women’s Soccer League's Angel City FC.

The Reddit co-founder currently boasts a net worth of approximately $150 million (per Celebrity Net Worth).

"Bro I know I outwork you": Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian on balancing entrepreneurship with fatherhood

Speaking with American soccer player Taylor Smith on her "Culture and Chaos" podcast, Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shared that strangers now recognize him for his pancake art rather than his entrepreneurship, often praising his creative designs.

"I get strangers now who stop me. They don't stop me for Reddit, they stop me for my pancake art, and they are like "yo dude I love your pancakes man." And I'm like thank you, I enjoy making them," he said.

The Reddit co-founder further noted that some business colleagues underestimate his commitment, thinking his focus on family and hobbies distracts him from work. He humorously believes he outperforms them despite their misconceptions.

"At the same time I have business folks I work with and I've got guys who sincerely think I am not nearly as committed as I am to success at work, because they know that side of my persona. And it's so wild, because I am like bro I know I outwork you, I know my returns are better than you. But I think it's cute that you have this idea that I can't be showing up for my kids, making some pancakes and also showing up to beat your a*s," he added.

For those unaware, Ohanian has made pancake art a cherished tradition with his daughter, Olympia, and frequently shares glimpses of their creations on social media.
