Alex Rodriguez is a multi-faceted individual. While most baseball fans will recognize the former slugger from his days in pinstripes, the star has grown far beyond. After his retirement in 2016, A-Rod has pushed his business into several sectors. The father of two has made his way in several business ventures, including real estate. Among those business ventures comes the part ownership in an NBA franchise. And the star slugger has hit it big even after retirement.
With his investment in sports ownership, A-Rod is part of the ownership of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves. And A-Rod is showing time and again that he shirks away from no responsibility, fulfilling his duties to the franchise in wishing their star player on his special day.
