Hamilton has not revealed publicly all the details of his gonna be investing. All these details do tell us about his entrepreneurial mind.

Hamilton recently invested in a burger joint. Neat Burgers is the first plant-based burger chain in the world. Hamilton himself being a vegan wanted to be a part of the restaurant chain.
