Growing up, MLB icon Alex Rodriguez had seen only two dreams: playing baseball professionally and trying his hand at business. Both of his dreams came true when he turned 18. He had just started playing for the Mariners, and by selling his Rolex watches, he started his investment firm, A-Rod Corp. Since then, many hurdles came his way. Rodriguez tried to jump through them, fell at many, but stood up stronger each time. And while making mistakes and learning from them, he did not stop and continued to become one of the best in baseball and business. Through immense hard work, he pushed his net worth to a massive amount of $350 million. 

It’s been over six years since A-Rod bid farewell to the game in 2016. But he still hasn’t left the game entirely and probably never will. And his love for the game recently got shown as the former Yankee gave a glimpse of a busy day at his investment firm, A-Rod Corp.

While showing the video, he spoke, “Busy day here at the corp. Got Yankees opening day. In the background, we have Timberwolves, Phoenix, we lost yesterday. Here we have this crazy stock market every day, and I just devoured lunch. That’s the word from the Corp on a rainy Thursday afternoon.”
