Andre Iguodala has announced his retirement from the game. After spending 19 years in the league, Iguodala’s incredible NBA journey has come to an end. However, the 39-year-old is not yet going to live the typical retired life. He has always been a tech-savvy entrepreneur and that’s exactly what the future has in plans for him.

Being a successful athlete, Iguodala has also amassed a sizeable net worth. Although his next business move will dwarf his current net worth, Iguodala recently expressed his feelings about revealing his off-the-court earnings.

The 39-year-old played for several franchises during his 19-season stint. However, he has always been very vocal about his love for the Golden State Warriors. This could be because of the fact that he spent the most amount of his life with the Warriors. Additionally, Iguodala’s four NBA rings were earned during his time at the Dub Nation. Now that he has retired, his primary focus will be on the several businesses he has invested in. More importantly, his recent project is worth over $200 million. However, Iguodala is not looking forward to disclosing his actual earnings.

During a recent interview with Andscape, he was asked about his off-the-court earnings. Iguodala made nearly $200 million playing in the NBA in his 19-year stretch. However, he said that disclosing his off-court income would be equivalent to opening a “can of worms”. He said “People don?t understand what that means until you open up a can of worms to try to understand. So, market cap, quite possibly, but it?s not like I can go to the bank and get it tomorrow.” Whether Iguodala will disclose his earnings or not, the long list of investments are testament to his business acumen.
