Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian recently sparked headlines over how to divide their $450 million combined net worth for their two daughters. Despite the wealth, the couple remains committed to teaching Olympia and Adira financial responsibility from an early age.
Alexis shared that Olympia receives a \$7 weekly allowance tied to a chore contract—negotiated by Serena herself. She acts as her daughter’s advocate, insisting on fairness and balance while instilling the value of work in exchange for money.
Their goal is to raise grounded children who understand financial discipline. Both Serena and Alexis, who didn’t grow up wealthy, are focused on helping their daughters build strong money-management habits early in life.
