Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, has been an avid supporter of women's sports, acquiring a 10% stake in Chelsea FC Women's team in the WSL for $26 million. He also became the lead investor of the National Women's Soccer League's franchise, Angel City FC, which is now the highest valued team in the league after Disney's CEO purchased a controlling interest in the club.

Continuing to promote women's sports, the Reddit co-founder shifted his focus to the basketball court where Indiana Fever's star, Caitlin Clark, faced off against Dude Perfect's co-host, Cody Jones, as per the sports group's X post.

In the video, Jones claimed that he would defeat Clark in a one-on-one bout.

"This might sound crazy but I think I can take Caitlin 1 on 1."

Jones then tried to shoot and said:

"It's not that she's fast. It's like she's quick, it's the twitch," Jones later admitted.

Serena Williams' husband reacted to the action-packed 30 seconds, writing:

"This format never gets old"

Serena Williams' husband has always been vocal about his admiration for one of the most promising WNBA athletes, Caitlin Clark. The latter's Gold Vinyl Prizm rookie card was up for sale in the Goldin auction.

After it was sold for a whopping $366,000, eclipsing Williams' record of $266,400 in 2022, the tech mogul expressed that he wished to invest in the card but couldn't since he was already associated with ALT.

"I'm talking about the one and only 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA number 145, also known as the Caitlin Clark Gold Vinyl Prizm one on one. This is arguably the second most important Caitlin Clark rookie card in existence and the best to be auctioned. Caitlin is a record breaker in terms of women's cards."

He added:

"Yes, she did unseat my wife, Serena, and has continued to break her own record sales. This is a big deal, I'm so happy we got it on ALT. I wish I could bid on it but I can't as a significant ALT investor."

Ohanian balances family duties along with his career. He often spends time with his daughters, Olympia and Adira, and his wife.
