Even since co-founding Reddit, Ohanian has managed to project himself as one of the most prominent entrepreneurs. However, despite being at the top of his field, he hasn’t shied away from putting himself below the gigantic aura of his wife, Serena Williams. Recently, the 39-year-old took to his Twitter handle, drawing a comparison between the influence of Reddit to that of his wife.
Alexis Ohanian praises Serena’s impact
Needless to say, Ohanian has rightly been the biggest support for Serena Williams in her personal and professional life. After plying her trade in the WTA tour for close to three decades, the 23-time Grand Slam champion recently announced her retirement. While she has been receiving heartfelt messages from her fans ever since then, who’s not left behind is her husband, Ohanian.
Taking to his Twitter handle, he wrote, “I’ve seen over the last 7 years how much y’all love my wife—what she means to so many, worldwide. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Plenty of folks have told me “how Reddit changed their life,” but the scale & impact of “how Serena changed my life” stories absolutely dwarfs it.”

Serena Williams is counted in the elite list of the greatest athletes of all time. A feat that has helped her to be an inspiration for many. However, in the words of Ohanian, his wife has no idea about it. Ending the heartfelt message, he wrote, “And for what it’s worth, as far as I can tell, she has no idea. She doesn’t think about it.”
