American WTA legend Serena Williams‘ husband Alexis Ohanian has earned both fame and wealth after he co-founded Reddit. The 39-year-old millionaire is one of the few people who, even after touching the heights of greatness, never forget the steps that led them to it. Along the way, Ohanian had people who did not believe in his dreams and thought they were a far cry. However, there were also people who pushed him to do better, believing in his abilities. Recently, Ohanian lost one such mentor to cancer, and soon after, he took to Twitter to express his emotions on the profound loss.
