$350 Million New York Yankee Legend Alex Rodriguez Once Felt the Pain of His $4 Billion Business Partner’s “House Rules”

Since retiring from baseball, Alex Rodriguez has transitioned into a fine businessman. The former Yankee star is involved in a wide variety of enterprises. From real estate to sporting leagues, A-Rod has invested in it all. With this transition into baseball, Rodriguez has also been seen wearing a suit and tie more often.

Most people would see this as a good thing and appreciate the effort that A-Rod puts into his looks. But his business partner and close friend Marc Lore once showed his discontent with Rodriguez’s formal wear by enforcing his house rules.

Marc Lore enforced his house rules on Alex Rodriguez by cutting his tie off

Back in 2021, Alex Rodriguez shared an Instagram video of him at his close friend and business partner Marc Lore’s house. In the video, one can see A-Rod sitting in a chair and talking when Lore comes from behind him and cuts his tie off. Lore then says, “House rules man. I told you no ties man” as Rodriguez starts laughing at the prank.

A-Rod can be seen replying, “that’s my favorite tie” as he laughs at what Lore has done. Notably, the two are close friends and this seems to be a running joke between them. Rodriguez shared the video on Instagram and said, “Business is about winning and losing. Apparently, there are no ties, right @marclore? 👍🏼”
