Serena Williams’ daughter becomes ‘the youngest owner of two teams in professional sports’ after buying LA Golf Club
Who needs the Glazers! Serena Williams’ 5-year-old daughter Olympia is the ‘youngest two-team owner in professional sports’ after acquiring LA Golf Club – adding to portfolio that already includes Angel City FC
Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia has become the proud owner of her second professional sports club – at the tender age of just five years.
Olympia — full name Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr — was announced this week as a co-owner of LA Golf Club by her father, entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, when he posted a sweet photo of the elementary school student hitting a golf ball on a pristine green.
The five-year-old is already a co-owner of the women’s soccer franchise Angel City, also based in Los Angeles. Co-owners of the club also include Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman and Christina Aguilera.
Ohanian explained that she’s not even the youngest co-owner, as her yet-to-be-born sibling – arriving in the summer – will also be involved in running the high-profile golf club.

“Olympia is the youngest owner in professional sports (@weareangelcity) and is now the youngest owner of 2 teams in professional sports.”
He added, “She will be joined by her future sibling.”
Williams and Ohanian are currently expecting their second child together.

Three years ago, Serena announced that her daughter was a “Proud Owner Angel City” with photos of then-two-year-old Olympia holding a soccer ball.
Actress Natalie Portman and a number of high-profile partners are currently helping fund the women’s sports team.
Angel City shares its 22,000-seat BMO stadium with LAFC, the current MLS cup holder.
Portman’s recent Netflix docuseries, released in May, chronicled Angel City’s first season in the NWSL – where they finished a respectable eighth in the standings.
