The American tennis legend, Serena Williams, smashed records during her time on the tennis circuit. Even after she stopped competing, she kept making history through her other endeavors, such as her desire to invest in young companies. It looks like her husband has joined her in this race, as he is currently trying his best to surpass a record-breaking sale of trading cards that doubled the previous records for female athletes.

Although it’s been a year since the record has been scripted, Alexis Ohanian wasn’t really pleased with the record that it set. After more than a year of being unhappy, he is now making every effort to pull another card, as he intends to create history.
