Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia, 5, became the youngest co-owner in professional sports when Ohanian became a lead investor in Angel City Football Club in 2020
Olympia Ohanian isn’t fully aware of the role she plays in Angel City Football Club, a brand new National Women’s Soccer League team in Los Angeles.
Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the team’s opener on Sunday, Alexis Ohanian, a lead investor in the team, shared that his 5-year-old daughter with Serena Williams “doesn’t actually understand” her stake in the sport.
Olympia memorably became the youngest co-owner in professional sports when her parents ensured she had a stake in the L.A.-based women’s soccer team that Ohanian became a lead investor in 2020.
“Right now all Olympia knows is that Angel City FC is our team, and she loves cheering for them,” the tech entrepreneur tells PEOPLE. “I think as she gets older, maybe she’ll come to see the different layers to it.”
“Obviously, being the youngest owner of pro sports is pretty fun, but she doesn’t actually understand that she is the youngest owner in pro sports,” he continues. “Try to keep that for as long as we can.”—Agencies
