Alexis Ohanian, the husband of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, has similar interests as his wife. Both of them enjoy a variety of sports. The couple owns shares in sports such as NFL and soccer. While Serena has been a minority stake owner of Miami Dolphins, she and Ohanian are one of the main investors in the women’s soccer team, Angel City FC.

In fact, their four-year-old also has her name on the list as the youngest investor. The father-daughter duo recently drew everyone’s attention by attending the football club’s latest match against OL Reign in the NWSL.
