Alexis Ohanian Net Worth 2024: How much money does Serena Williams’ husband make?
American internet entrepreneur and investor Alexis Kerry Ohanian has built an impressive empire by the age of 41. Along with the earnings generated throughout his career, his wife, Serena Williams, contributes to a combined net worth fit for royalty.
Ohanian met his friend Steve Huffman at the University of Virginia while studying commerce and history. After finishing their studies, they presented their project, reddit.com, to Y Combinator in 2005. A year later, they sold it to Condé Nast for around $20 million. In July 2015, Alexis Ohanian returned to Reddit with his friend Huffman to lead the now-independent company, which he would leave in 2020.
Alexis Ohanian’s net worth
His investments in technology and through his venture capital firm, Initialized Capital, are fundamental to his net worth. Initialized Capital alone manages assets valued at $3.2 billion.
Although he is no longer part of Reddit, it is estimated that Ohanian owns 5% of the company.
A testament to his vision as an entrepreneur was when he paid $15,000 for a portion of Ethereum cryptocurrency in 2014. If he still holds that investment, it is now worth over $80 million.
His net worth is estimated at $150 million, and combined with his wife Serena Williams’ net worth of $300 million, they total over $450 million.
Ohanian is a passionate advocate for net neutrality, opposing the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act, which were ultimately defeated in 2012. He led protests and launched a crowdfunding campaign against the FCC’s plans to eliminate net neutrality.
He also advocates for universal paid paternity leave, writing about his experience after the birth of his daughter and announcing plans to introduce legislation on this issue in 2019
