Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian, a highly successful entrepreneur, recently reflected on his numerous business accomplishments from the past year. The 41-year-old regularly shares his insights and perspectives online.
Ohanian, a seasoned tech entrepreneur, co-founded Reddit in 2005 and retains a 5% stake despite having stepped away from the company in 2020. In 2014, he invested $15,000 in Ethereum, a cryptocurrency now valued at over $80 million. Ohanian diversified his portfolio through numerous other ventures with a net worth of nearly $150 million (per Marca).
The 42-year-old, who co-owns the venture capital firm Seven Seven Six, recently shared key highlights from his business journey over the past year in an X thread. In one post, Ohanian revealed that his NWSL team, Angel City FC, is now the world's most valuable women's sports franchise, with a valuation of $300 million. He also boldly predicted the club's future valuation in 2030.
"→ @weareangelcity is now the most valuable women's sports team in the world. In just 4 years, they're worth $300M. *This* is what happens when we invest in women and actually market greatness 🔥. Mark my words: we will see the first $1B women's team by 2030," he wrote.
Angel City FC reached a $300 million valuation earlier this year, driven by a significant long-term investment from Disney CEO Bob Iger and his wife, Willow
Through Seven Seven Six, Ohanian launched Athlos NYC, a women-only track event held in September 2024 at New York City's Icahn Stadium. The event featured 36 athletes from around the world competing across six track disciplines, with each winner guaranteed a minimum prize of $60,000. Ohanian also highlighted the event's achievement in the X thread.
"→ @athlos brought women's track to a global stage. Our latest incubation. 36 of the world's fastest women on one track, for one night, with special musical guest @theestallion. Sold out seats, over 3M viewers, record prize pools... we literally lit up the Empire State. This is just the beginning for what these athletes can achieve when given the spotlight and resources they deserve," he wrote.
Additionally, Ohanian expressed pride in the success of his co-produced series The Office Season. Created in collaboration with NWSL star Midge Purce, the series documents the journey of 11 players training together in Miami during the 2024 off-season.

Alexis Ohanian concluded the thread by sharing a series of family photos, including moments with his wife Serena Williams, and daughter Olympia at the Paris Olympics, and introducing the seven-year-old to renowned actress Lupita Nyong'o at Athlos NYC. He expressed gratitude to his loved ones for their unwavering support in fueling his vision for a brighter future.
"These are just a few things that made 2024 one for the books – full of wins and incredible moments with the athletes, builders, and founders who are pushing for a new and better future.It goes without saying, but none of this would be possible without the support from those I love most – it's what gets me up in the morning and fuels my vision for a brighter, better future.Grateful for the journey and ready to make 2025 even bigger.Let’s keep building,"
