Ohanian, widely known as the Reddit co-founder and a prominent sports investor, has another passion— collecting trading cards and sports memorabilia. Among his prized possessions is a remarkable collection of trading cards featuring his talented wife, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams. Last May, he shared a post from ALT, allegedly the largest marketplace for trading cards, on his IG story. In the post, someone revealed Ohanian’s favorite card, which is the 2018 Employee Exclusive Patch Auto. The card features a photo of Serena during the 2017 Australian Open when she was pregnant with their daughter, Olympia. “This is actually Alexis’ favorite card,” the post revealed, delighting Ohanian’s followers with the sentimental backstory.

This Reddit co-founder has expressed his ambition to have the largest collection of Serena Williams trading cards previously. Recently, he reacted to a post about a person holding the record for the most Ken Griffey Jr. cards—142,438 in total. Stunned by the amount, Ohanian commented, “Damn.” In the same comment thread, when asked how close he was to owning a comparable number of Serena Williams cards, his response surprised everyone: “Very far. I got as good a collection as my kids will need lol.” The comment reflected his humility and deep love for his children.

Interestingly, Ohanian’s collection, valued at an astonishing $2.5 million, is not just a personal treasure but a legacy he seems to be building for his family. Any guesses on who he’s saving these trading cards for?

Alexis Ohanian wishes to share his collection of trading cards with his daughters and grandchildren

This Reddit co-founder has saved his collection of trading cards for his family. “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],” said the Reddit co-founder expressing his intention to keep his precious possessions in the family.

Alexis Ohanian’s trading card collection also showcases his love for his wife Serena Williams. However, his urge to save his cards for his children sheds light on his intense dedication to fatherhood. Although Ohanian doesn’t aim to own the largest collection anymore, his interest in cards might help him reach that milestone sometime in his life in the future.
