"When I first proposed, Serena Williams was like, 'That’s not enough'... She was Olympia’s lawyer in the negotiation" - Husband Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently recounted how his proposal to the former World No. 1 included a "frustrating" negotiation involving their daughter Olympia. In an appearance on the Spolitics with Jemele Hill podcast, Ohanian shed light on Olympia's weekly allowance.

"For Olympia, she gets $7 a week; she has her chores," Ohanian said. "I probably got like $1-2 - I gotta ask my dad – for all my chores."

The Reddit co-founder recalled that Williams acted as Olympia's lawyer in the negotiation about her allowance, which even resulted in him drawing up a contract.

"And then when I first proposed, Serena was like, 'that’s not enough,'" he recalled

"She’s playing both sides. Serena was her (Olympia’s) lawyer in the negotiation. I drew up a real contract. I mean it’s plain English, no like legalese," he added. "But I drew up a contract, we negotiated it; her mom was her counsel which was really frustrating but it’s okay."

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently hit the golf course with their daughter Olympia, humorously disclosing that she "won a few Robux of him," which is the virtual currency used on the gaming platform Roblox.
