Patrick Mahomes has arguably been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL ever since the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in 2017. The quarterback is the youngest player in the league’s history to win both the NFL and Super Bowl MVP. He has always expressed his love for the city he reps and has taken a lot of initiatives to do so.

Be it helping Texas Tech to reach a wider audience by striking a marketing alliance with Kansas City Chiefs or being a stakeholder in Kansas City Royals baseball team, the Texas Tech Raiders alumni has always given his all on and off the field. This helped him become the first-ever North American athlete to rake in a half-a-billion-dollar deal. He signed a 10-year, $503 million extension with Kansas City Chiefs.

In this article, we will list down all the sporting investments made by the Kansas City quarterback.
