Everyone deserves a father like Alexis Ohanian. Be it making pancakes for Olympia or investing in projects following his daughters’ names, Serena Williams‘ husband has everything planned for his two adorable princesses’ future. While the media questions whether his elder daughter has the slightest cue about her financial worth, Ohanian drops a cheeky response.
Ohanian attended the youth-focused digital media brand Overtime’s podcast and talked about many things including his investments for his daughters. When the host asked him jokingly whether Olympia who turned six, knew about owning two sports teams in kindergarten, Ohanian gave a rather hilarious response.
“She doesn’t know so don’t tell her please. She knows, well, uhh, no she has no idea. In 2019, I start this team, I set aside, a few hundred grand into a trust for her and any other future kids Serena and I have. Adira, good news you’re also splitting it now with Olympia. I really feel my number one responsibility to conduct my business life, my home life in a way that girls are proud,” he said.

Ohanian’s response showed that he is a devoted father who wishes to secure his daughters’ futures. Olympia caught the spotlight when she became the youngest investor of Angel City FC at just 2. She also became the part-owner of the Los Angeles Golf Club with her younger sister, Adira River Ohanian, last year.
While Ohanian jokingly asked not to inform Olympia about his jaw-dropping career flex already, it was he who shared the news with his social media family on Instagram. “Announcing my fellow co-owner of @wearelagc… @olympiaohanian! Olympia is the youngest owner in professional sports (@weareangelcity) and is now the youngest 2-team owner in professional sports. She’ll be joined by her future sibling,” Ohanian wrote.

Despite all, Ohanian seemed very careful and thorough in providing the best possible future for his kids. While he confirmed how fatherhood is not the “strongest part” of his identity, he expressed a keen desire to become a guide for Olympia and Adira.
Alexis Ohanian offered an interesting point of view about his daughter’s upbringing
In his podcast, Business Dad, Ohanian talked with Rain Wilson and affirmed Wilson’s advice on gentle parenting. This Reddit co-founder said, “You see, to your point, right, you see the trophy chest, and you don’t see all of the small failures, the big failures, the struggles, especially someone like her it’s invaluable to hear from but any parent.”

He further said, “Yeah, I love this idea of even just saying like, Hey, here’s this thing I really wanted for and I really worked for, and it didn’t work and, and that’s okay, because it’s a chance to learn it’s a chance to grow from that it sucks, but it will make me better.”
Ohanian’s response to Olympia’s multi-million dollar flex at 6 shows how proud he is as a father. His investments also speak about his careful consideration to secure his kids’ future. While the host called it a flex, the Ohanian fam simply referred to it as a father’s affection for his daughters.
