Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez has remained ecstatic about his business ventures. When A-Rod took the first step in his journey, while still a teenager at 18, he felt as if he was on top of the world. Now, Rodriguez has turned into a full-time businessman having retired from the sport. The former player’s efforts have borne good fruit as his investment firm, A-Rod Corp, which he started back in the 90s, is now worth over a billion dollars. 

Alex has invested in countless ventures under the banner of A-Rod Corp. Notably, the shortstop is also the co-owner of the NBA side, Minnesota Timberwolves. Rodriguez recently spoke of the best investment he made in his decades of experience as a venture capitalist.

There, among other things, A-Rod spoke of the best investment that his firm A-Rod Corp has made. Talking about that investment, A-Rod said, “We bought a third of a business called Petros Pace, and it was a lending brokerage business that was ESG and green. It would lend to real estate owners, and it was a great substitute to mezzanine debt. So, in a world where in mezzanine debt, you pay mid-teens (%), you were paying for Petros PACE about 5 or 6 percent. It’s half the price of mezz debt and it’s green and makes the world a better place. I really liked it. I loved the two founders. We backed them, and then this year, we sold it to Apollo for almost 12 times.” 

Completely turning around a business for even a couple of percent is considered a good enough investment. But turning a venture around to gain a profit of 12% is a tremendous achievement. Considering Alex’s achievement as a multimillionaire and making his company worth over a billion dollars, A-Rod surely has established ground in the business world.
