Alex Rodriguez has shown time and again that he has a knack for business. With a net worth of $350 million, the man knows finance. After an illustrious twenty-two-season career in the major leagues, A-Rod hung up his uniform with pride. The retired Yankee was a much sought-after player almost all throughout his career and had the numbers to prove it. But baseball was neither his only talent nor his sole interest in life.
After retiring in 2016, Rodriguez gave his full attention to business pursuits, like his company A-Rod Corp. In addition to establishing one of the most successful investment firms in America, the former shortstop also partly owns the NBA team Minnesota Timberwolves. Evidently, Rodriguez has teamed up with partners for different ventures. But who does he consider an ideal team?

Warren Buffett needs no introduction. One of the richest people on earth, the 92-year-old has left no stone unturned when it comes to finance and strategy. Rodriguez was lucky enough to be personally mentored by him. But as for the best team-up, he would pitch for NFL icon Tom Brady to join Buffett.
As a successful business mogul, Rodriguez is more than qualified to give advice. And in a vlog from a few years ago, the former Yankee gave people advice on how they could build a great team for themselves. As for Brady and Buffett, the two are legends in their respective fields, so it would be fascinating to watch the two come together to create something.
A-Rod says in the video, “I’ve always said the perfect partnership is one Buffett and Tom Brady. One goes out and wins championships, the other one takes that capital and invests it over time. And that’s a perfect example of one plus one equals five.”

A glaring similarity between the two is of course how successful they have each been in their fields. Brady is widely recognized as the greatest quarterback of all time and that is no small feat. Buffett’s name speaks for itself since he is currently the third richest man in the entire world. The dedication and passion that the two have devoted to football and finance are unmatched.
Brady may now be retired but as an active player, he used to diligently study game plays on both defense and offense. Buffett may be past the age people usually dedicate to work but he is still dedicated to his craft. Both men have thoroughly cultivated their minds to emerge at the top.
