NFL Legend Tom Brady is known for his business ventures, whether through sponsorships or investments in growing opportunities. Recently, Brady acquired a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders for a reported $6.2 Billion. He has navigated the final hurdles on his path to becoming an owner. Brady enjoyed a successful career with the New England Patriots, winning  6 Super Bowls and 1 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carrying such an everlasting legacy, Brady parallels the hype Michael Jordan enjoyed after retirement from Basketball.

This move makes excellent sense for Brady because it has been strategically planned to benefit his expenses. His group intends to acquire a 10% stake, with Brady owning 7% (worth over $400 million). This adjustment also prompted concerns from some owners. They highlighted how Brady’s initial investment did not justify the franchise’s current value.
