Nearly a year after Serena Williams gave birth to her daughter, she shocked ESPN reporters by saying she would prefer it if Olympia Ohanian didn’t pursue a career in tennis. However, even if she’s not sure she’d want her to face the pressure of competing, Olympia is already guaranteed a career in the sporting world. She’s actually co-owner of both a soccer franchise and a golf club.
In July 2020, Olympia’s social media team revealed via Twitter that she had become one of the co-owners of the Angel City soccer team. In a statement by Alexis Ohanian at the time, he revealed that investing in his daughter’s name had been something he felt strongly about. “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,” he said (via Harper’s Bazaar).

However, he added that she’ll have to share the honor with her younger sister, due in late 2023. What’s a sports club, shared between siblings?
