Serena Williams’ family is very grateful for this Thanksgiving. Media Take Out confirmed that her husband Alexis is recovering successfully after surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his thyroid.
Alexis shared on her X account today that she had some lumps removed from her thyroid that “could potentially turn into cancer.” The entrepreneur revealed that he was first diagnosed with nodules 4 years ago.
And during a recent checkup, doctors noticed the lumps growing and decided to remove them. He is recovering well and is expected to be back to full strength in no time.
This is his statement.
He also revealed that his mother died of cancer when he was 41, the same age.
Alexis is an American internet entrepreneur and investor. He is best known as the co-founder and former executive chairman of the social media site Reddit along with Steve Huffman and Aaron Swartz. He also co-founded early-stage venture capital firm Initialized Capital, helped launch travel search website Hipmunk, and started social enterprise Breadpig. He was also a partner in Y Combinator.
Ohanian lives in Florida, where he lives with his wife, former tennis player Serena Williams, and their daughters Alexis Olympia Ohanian and Adira Rivers Ohanian.
As of 2024, Ohanian’s net worth is estimated to be $150 million.
