Serena Williams’ daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr is just 2 years and 10 months old. But she is already an owner of a pro sports team.
Alexis Olympia and tennis superstar Serena became co-owners – along with a slew of celebrities — of a new Los Angeles-based women’s football team called Angel City, making the kid the youngest-ever owner of a professional sports outfit.

“I am proud to be a part of this wonderful group working to bring a women’s professional football club to Los Angeles. Chiefly, because I’m a fan of the game, but also because I believe there is massive potential for the sport and it’s been undervalued by too many people for far too long,” said Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is Serena’s husband.
“As someone who spends hours kicking around a football with my two-year-old daughter, I want her to have a front row seat to this revolution. I’m personally investing on behalf of my family because creating more opportunities in women’s sports is important to my wife and me, and we want to be a part of making a better future for our daughter,” explained Alexis, who has also played a major role in the initial fundraising for the team.
