18 Years After Floating His $10 Billion Venture, Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Reveals Late Mother’s ‘Timeless Advice’ That Framed His Entrepreneurial Journey

Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, is undoubtedly one of the most successful entrepreneurs, as one can see from his ventures. Ohanian has created several successful companies, including Reddit. Although he houses a brilliant business sense, he could not have thrived without the help of many. Recently, Ohanian shared a piece of advice given by his late mother, which helped him reach the top of Reddit.

Alexis Ohanian’s mother, Anke Ohanian, passed away in 2008 when the entrepreneur was just 25. Anke left an immense impact on her son, as one can see in the manner he speaks about her. One could see the love he still holds for her as he recalls a dream where he saw his mother. 

Serena Williams’ husband on his late mother’s advice

Alexis Ohanian is a sociable individual who has a great bond with many in his life. However, his mother’s impact on him is one of the strongest. Unfortunately, Ohanian’s mother passed away in 2008, in the early stages of Reddit. She passed away due to cancer borne of a brain tumor. But Ohanian was left with great memories of his mother.

He showed the vivid memories of his time with his mother in a recent Twitter post. The business magnate replied to a tweet that talked about how one can understand the perspective of their parents. Ohanian wrote that his mom asked him to live for himself instead of anyone else.

He wrote, “Thankful my mom’s career advice was to make sure I lived for myself (not what I thought she or my dad wanted) and spend time on problems I enjoyed solving. Timeless advice tbh 🙏.”

While Ohanian went through terrible trials, he was able to take his mother’s advice to heart and take Reddit to astounding heights as the platform is currently valued at $10 billion. Even though 15 years have passed since her death, Ohanian still remembers his mother clearly.
