A look into Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian & Giannis Antetokounmpo's investments

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, and the 'Greek freak' Giannis Antetokounmpo are well-known entrepreneurs who have jointly made two prominent investments to provide much-needed impetus to the sporting world.

Antetokounmpo, along with his brothers, invested in the Los Angeles Golf Club in 2023, which was also owned by Ohanian and the Williams sisters. The club started playing in the TGL League in 2024 and has been a promising venture since.

“We want to make golf our own and for everybody. We couldn’t be more excited to shape the future of this sport," Antetokounmpo told the media.

Their most recent venture includes investing in Scoreplay, which has helped raise $20 million for the company. This AI-powered sports content management company will aim to uplift the standards for sports media.

“ScorePlay’s growth and impact over the past year have been remarkable, and we were blown away by the reception to the platform at the inaugural Athlos in September. They’re setting a new standard for the industry and this was obvious in the founding days of Angel City FC, which is why we invested then and every round since," Ohanian told the media.

The company now works with more than 200 companies.
