Stemming from his father’s shoe business, Alex Rodriguez has always housed an entrepreneurial drive, which first came to light when he initiated the idea of venture capital firm A-Rod Corp in 1996. Since then, as A-Rod’s career in the ballpark grew to new heights, his ambitious dreams through A-Rod Corp continued to grow, too.

The slugger first began to construct an empire in the world of real estate before eventually expanding A-Rod Corp to the larger business world.

Analogues to that, under its real estate division, A-Rod Corp founded Monument Capital Management, a real estate firm. President of the firm, Erin Knight, recently found a place on the esteemed board of directors at Amerant Bank. And A-Rod couldn’t keep calm.

In 2020, with Marc Lore and Jennifer Lopez, he started bidding for the Yankees’ Subway Series rivals, the New York Mets. While that bid didn’t go as planned, A-Rod and Lore purchased a 20% stake in the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves in 2021.

Their second biggest asset is a previously owned Doland Trump property. The Waldorf Hotel in DC, which Donald Trump owned, was purchased by A-Rod Corp for $375 million earlier this year.
