Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian is a dedicated father. Whether it’s about making favorite pancakes for his daughters or building a business empire with their future in mind, the Reddit co-founder has done it all. Recently honored for his contributions to women’s sports, Ohanian made the moment even more special with heartfelt keepsakes for his daughters. This thoughtful gesture reflected the depth of his love for his children and showcased how profoundly he thinks about their future.

Ohanian made an interesting gesture for his daughters Olympia and Adira. The Reddit co-founder has established a successful business empire. He founded Seven Seven Six, a venture firm that invests in all kinds of sports featuring female athletes. Recently, this venture firm hosted Athlos NYC, a track and field event only for female sprinters. Apart from that, Ohanian once co-owned Angel City FC, an all-female NSWL soccer team with his wife and elder daughter Olympia. He also co-owns the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) with Olympia. Ohanian’s successful business empire is for her daughters and he found the sweetest way to let his children know about it when they would grow up.

Williams’ husband shared a photo on his official IG profile where he could be seen keeping mementos of his success for his daughters with an adorable note. The successful techie-turned-businessman appeared on the September cover of ADWEEK and was named one of the magazine’s Brand Genius Honorees for 2024. He was recognized for his efforts to “revolutionize” women’s sports through his all-female track and field event Athlos. Ohanian, delighted with the gesture, ordered two copies of the magazine to save them as collectibles for his daughters.

“Olympia, I build this for you + your sis. Love Papa,”  Ohanian wrote in the magazine that he kept for Olympia. Alongside Olympia, her baby sister also got one copy with the message, “Adira, I build this for you + sis. Love Papa.”

Ohanian’s gesture brought him much applause from his social media followers. However, what also caught his followers’ eyes was his deliberate consciousness to use the present form of the verb “build.” Reflecting on this, the Reddit co-founder said, “I chose present tense bc I’m far from done 😏” Ohanian’s words highlighted his relentless commitment to his daughters.

However, it is not just the magazines that he saved for his daughter. Interestingly, Serena Williams’ husband has the largest collection of trading cards valued at $2.5 million, and guess whom he is saving these cards for?

Alexis Ohanian wants to share his largest collection of trading cards with children and grandchildren

Apart from ADWEEK, Ohanian has saved another huge surprise for his children and grandchildren, which is his collection of trading cards. Intending to keep the collection within the family, Ohanian said, “The whole plan for this is that like grandkids, great grandkids, they’ll have this collection, and probably a hundred years from now, museums will want to put pieces of this up for the public display, But I don’t want our grandkids to ever have to go to museums to see someone else’s possession. They should be the ones renting it out. So that’s why we got the greatest collection of all time for you [Serena Williams].”

Ohanian’s words echo his thoughtful gesture for his kids. Naturally, he believes his children should be entitled to the things he and his wife have built for them.

Alexis Ohanian’s dedication to fatherhood is indeed inspiring. The way he carefully plans his steps and ensures that his decisions benefit his children tells a lot about his commitment to his daughters. His spirit and thoughtful acts make him a perfect dad who shows how one can balance family and career.
