Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, whose estimated net worth is now $150 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, recently expressed confidence in reaching billionaire status in the near future. This bullish outlook comes after his significant investments in women’s sports over the past few years, through which he has proudly contributed to the rapid and immense growth of women’s athletics, particularly in the USA.

The 42-year-old entrepreneur, best known for co-founding Reddit nearly two decades ago, shared his thoughts during a recent interview with The Sunday Times. In the conversation, Ohanian estimated his net worth to be around $350 million and confidently responded when asked about achieving billionaire status: “I’ll get there!”

From a strictly business perspective, Ohanian highlighted the strong case for investing in women’s sports. His successful investments so far include notable organizations such as Angel City FC, Chelsea FC Women, Athlos, and the women’s basketball program at the University of Virginia.

“There’s a remarkably strong business case for investing in women’s sports. Yes, I have two daughters, and yes, I’m married to Serena Williams. But I will never make this investment case from a standpoint of charity or feminism,” Ohanian emphasized.

He also recalled a touching recent experience while dining with his family in Denver, Colorado. A woman approached him to thank him for his contributions to women’s sports, an interaction that filled Ohanian with immense pride. He reflected on how meaningful it is for his daughters, Olympia and Adira, to witness such moments.

“That’s the stuff I want my daughters to see. That’s the stuff I want to be known for. Because it is outstanding business success, but in a way that I feel really proud of,” Ohanian concluded.

Earlier in 2025, Alexis Ohanian revealed that his wife Serena Williams was initially hesitant about his investments in women’s sports. Speaking as a guest on CBS Mornings in August, he shared how Williams — a former world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, and a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion — had reservations rooted in her own experiences as a professional athlete.

“She actually tried to talk me out of it because her experiences in women’s sports had given her this perspective to say, look, it is going to be so hard,” Ohanian explained.

Serena Williams’ illustrious tennis career came to an unexpected close with a third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic at the 2022 US Open. Since then, both Williams and Ohanian have continued to make impactful strides, especially in the realm of women’s sports, inspiring a new generation of athletes and investors alike.
