Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian has excelled as an entrepreneur, much like Momma Smash has on the tennis court. Ohanian, along with his friends, started his entrepreneurial journey during his college days. Since then, the co-founder of Reddit has made some smart decisions, which have led to great success for him in his business endeavors.

However, it all started with Ohanian’s initial decision to forgo pursuing a professional career as a lawyer and launch his own entrepreneurial project, Reddit, instead. That one decision shot the American internet entrepreneur to unprecedented heights. This life-altering decision was taken at a rather unconventional spot, and recently, this was recognized by the establishment, which sent Ohanian over the moon.
