If you didn’t know, the Williams-Ohanian family adore him! Serena calls herself a “fan girl” of MrBeast, and he has interacted with the family multiple times. In February, he surprised her daughter, Olympia, with a special gift!
Serena William’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, shared the moment on Instagram Stories. He walked in holding a box of MrBeast’s Feastables creamy peanut butter eggs and called out, “Olympia, we’ve got a surprise package from MrBeast!” Olympia’s enthusiastic “Yay!” captured their excitement perfectly. Ohanian tagged MrBeast and Feastables, writing, “Thanks @MrBeast @Feastables.”

Beyond applauding his charitable efforts, Ohanian admires MrBeast’s relentless dedication to content creation.

The video also praises MrBeast’s generosity and care in his work. The speaker urges creators not to copy MrBeast but to find their own niche and work hard and smart. Ohanian fully agrees.
He commented on the video, saying the speaker “put forth their points properly.” He also reposted it with the note, “Well said about @mrbeast! Don’t try to be him – find your own lane, but bring the same dedication.” Wise words from someone who knows the hustle well.
Earlier this year, he also celebrated MrBeast’s knack for suspenseful storytelling. At the NBA All-Star Game on February 16, MrBeast hosted a thrilling contest where 18-year-old Jaren Barajas sank a buzzer-beater shot against Damian Lillard to win $100,000. The crowd at Chase Center went wild! Ohanian took to X and wrote, “What is it about @MrBeast that makes him divinely attached to unbelievably dramatic storylines!?! That $100K shot contest was gonna be a snooze right until the final second-maximum drama!”
With Serena now teaming up with MrBeast, it’s clear the Williams-Ohanian family is hooked. And honestly, if it means more tennis content from the Grand Slam champ, that’s a win-win for all of us! What do you think? Drop your thoughts below!
