One of the legends of the game, Alex Rodriguez has achieved many accolades in the MLB. After retirement, he became a brilliant businessman and became one of the richest sportspersons in the world. Earlier, he became the owner of the NBA team Minnesota Timberwolves; he opened up recently about acquiring the team.

In 2020, A-Rod and his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez tried to acquire ownership of the New York Mets. They battled with Steve Cohen regarding the purchase. Unfortunately, they lost, as Cohen bought the Mets for $2.4 billion.

The disappointment of the failed Mets deal did not demoralize A-Rod, as he quickly teamed with billionaire Marc Lore and bought the NBA team, Minnesota Timberwolves, in the very next year for $1.5 billion. As per reports, they will pay the whole amount in three installments.
