Alexis Ohanian, Aaron Swartz, and Steve Huffman, who were roommates in college, founded Reddit. Reddit was sold to Condé Nast for $10 million. Compared to Reddit’s most recent 10 billion-dollar valuation, Alexis Ohanian received a ‘pennies-on-the-dollar’ kind of deal when he sold the company in 2006.

However, Ohanian later revealed that the thing that affected him the most in making the decision to sell Reddit at the time was his mother’s illness. He also talked about the emotional moments with his late mother, who skirted the law in order to do what was best for her family.

Alexis Ohanian talked about his decision of selling Reddit

The American internet entrepreneur and investor, Alexis Ohanian talked about his late mother, Anke Ohanian, who was a pharmacy technician.

He revealed that this mother broke the law in order to do what was best for her family. She arrived in the United States as a young immigrant from Germany with no documents. He also mentioned the sacrifices she made for her family.

Ohanian said, “She skirted the laws to do the right thing for her family, sacrificing whatever life she might have had back home for something bigger for us,”

Alexis revealed that his decision to sell Reddit was the greatest thing he could do in return for her mother’s unwavering support and sacrifice for him over the years.

He said, “The best phone call I ever made in my life was telling my mom that Reddit had sold — in a real, tangible way, that seemed like the perfect capstone to her 23 years of unflagging support and sacrifice for me.”

Ohanian’s constant support to his wife Serena Williams

The American tennis legend’ husband and her constant supporter, Alexis Ohanian, have won the hearts of people all over the world. Since their wedding, Ohanian has continuously emphasized the value of encouraging women to achieve greatness and openly expressing genuine affection.

Alexis has always been there for Serena. Whether it is cheering Williams on from the stands or lauding his tennis-star wife in the media. The American entrepreneur has been in the spotlight for his honesty, loyalty, and endearing approach towards his wife. During Serena’s matches, Alexis Ohanian was frequently spotted in the stands. He was once photographed wearing a t-shirt with the words “greatest of all time” (GOAT). It was printed beneath an image of his wife. He is always there to cheer on for his wife during her tournaments.

Also, while Serena is baking in the kitchen, Ohanian can be seen in the background. He is there holding their daughter, Olympia and being as supportive as ever.

Just as Serena Williams is known as the greatest tennis player, Alexis Ohanian can be called as the greatest husband.
