Serena Williams’ social media tycoon husband, Alexis Ohanian, has reportedly purchased a £20million stake in Chelsea Women FC. The pair are believed to be jetting to London for this weekend’s Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley, with Ohanian poised to take a seat on the board and tennis legend Williams also expected to be ‘engaged’ in some capacity.
Ohanian, who co-founded social media platform Reddit, has an estimated net worth of £113m. And wife of nearly eight years Williams has amassed a huge personal fortune of around £226m, helped by a glittering professional tennis career which brought her 23 Grand Slam titles.
According to The Times, Ohanian’s £20m share purchase has landed him 10 per cent of the club. The transaction effectively values Chelsea Women FC at more than £200m, which makes it the most valuable women’s football team on the planet.
