At the young age of 18, Alex Rodriguez made a splash in the baseball world when he debuted with the Seattle Mariners. Despite humble beginnings, including the failure of his family’s shoe business and abandonment by his father, A-Rod’s mother, Lourdes, worked tirelessly to provide for her family. But through his impressive MLB career, including a record-breaking $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers, the former MLB slugger was able to lift his family out of hardship and secure their financial stability.
A-Rod’s MLB career was marked by exceptional achievements. Furthermore, his net worth has soared to over $350 million, solidifying his success not just in the ballpark. But also in the business world. As a result, his expertise in both fields is more than justified, along with his notified celebrity status. But back in 2019, A-Rod defied the ideal norms and unofficial rules that come with notable celebrity status, by explicitly revealing his personal phone number through his Twitter account.
