Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian negotiated their daughter’s $7-a-week allowance: ‘Good things come when you work for it’

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are each millionaires — but that doesn’t mean they’re trying to raise entitled children.

Williams and Ohanian give their 7-year-old daughter Olympia a modest weekly allowance, Ohanian, 42, said in a video posted to social media platform X on April 24. “She gets $7 a week. Serena was her lawyer in the negotiation,” said Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit in 2005. “I drew up a real contract … Her mom was her counsel, which was really frustrating.”
