Ever since, both Serena and Alexis have been successfully leading their professions while managing their personal life. In fact, the former world no.1 never misses to update her fans about the activities she enjoys with her angel daughter.

Specifically on the professional front too, the power couple is setting a benchmark. Thanks to their worldwide reach and brand value, they’re doing wondors with business partnerships and other things.

What helps Serena Williams become a top-earning athlete?

Currently, top companies such as Nike, Wilson Sporting Goods, Bumble, Gucci, Gatorade, Beats Electronics, Ford Motor, etc. sponsor Serena Williams. Moreover, she is the brand ambassador of Aston Martin and also got appointed as its chief sporting officer back in 2015.

Along with endorsements and sponsorship deals, Serena also has various investments to her name. Through her venture capital firm Serena Ventures, the American has currently invested in close to 66 startups and was also one of the main investors in NFT platform, Bitski.

Additionally, her clothing line, S by Serena, which debuted in 2018, has been a successful affair in women’s apparel business. Last but not least, the former world no.1 holds a minor stake in American football team, Miami Dolphins.

Coming to her tennis earnings, Serena sits comfortably on top with a whopping $94 million dollars prize money. Meanwhile, her elder sister Venus Williams boasts career earnings of $42 million, less than half in comparison.

Combining the career prize money and the income through endorsements and sponsors, Serena Williams’ overall earnings shoot up to $480 million dollars.

In the recent list of highest-paid athletes released by Sportico, the American managed to stay inside the top 40 with her earnings over the past couple of decades.

How do Alexis Ohanian’s earnings add to the equation?

Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian is a millionaire himself and also a startup investor. Initially popular as the co-founder of social media site, Reddit, he resigned from the board last year and sold the company to Conde Nast Publications for an amount ranging between $10 to $20 million dollars.

For his active investments on various startups, Forbes called Ohanian as the ‘mayor of internet’. Currently, the entrepreneur is running a new venture capital firm named, ‘776’. The intention behind the launch of this company is to promote tech startups.

Notably, even before 776, Ohanian had launched another venture capital firm along with Garry Tan named Initialized Capital. However, soon after resigning from the Reddit board, Alexis decided to leave Initialized as well.

As a result of his multiple interests and investments, the exact net worth of Alexis Ohanian might be tricky to figure. But, according to several estimates, the internet entrepreneur’s worth could range between $40- $70 million dollars.

Adding this to Serena’s whopping $480 million dollars earnings, the power couple’s total worth lies somewhere between $520 to 550 millions. From their portfolio, it’s evident that the duo is  passionate about investing in different startups that amalgamate serving people with latest technology.
