The celebration in the Wade household won’t stop anytime soon. After all, outside the Kaseya Center, there is a bronze statue honoring Dwyane Wade. Multiple events filled the calender leading to the historic day, from the first-ever When We Gather Food & Wine Festival in collaboration with the $13 billion PepsiCo company to the pre-celebration party “Statues Are Forever.” And now his father has also found a new way for fans to celebrate the Heat legend’s legacy.

“Ready to own a piece of history? This isn’t just a shirt—it’s a LEGENDARY tribute to Dwyane Wade’s Hall of Fame greatness, directly from his family! 🏀💯,” Dwyane Wade Sr. wrote as he uploaded a photo on his Instagram with friends and family wearing the latest t-shirt. “Tap the link to secure yours before it’s too late—once these exclusive shirts are gone, they’re gone for good! ⏳ Don’t miss out!” On the website, currently, only the latest design is available in multiple sizes ranging from S to 2XL.

The brand’s name is ‘Wade Different’ and according to the website, it “is a brand that embodies the spirit and resilience of a basketball legacy, founded by Dwyane Wade Sr., father of Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade.” The latest release is in order for more fans to celebrate the 3x NBA Champion. The photo on the t-shirt is from the HOF enshrinement ceremony when the father-son took the stage, with the caption of “We in the Hall of Fame DAWG” around the photo. The merch will be available at $45 each.

Not to forget, Dwyane Wade is a serial entrepreneur himself. That’s why he took a break from his broadcasting career at TNT in 2022, and now successfully runs the Wine Cellars. As per reports, his total net worth amounts to $170 million, and also helps with its foundation.

Decoding Dwyane Wade’s path to immense success

In 2021, the 13-time All-Star decided to invest his money in an NBA team. He became a minority owner with the Utah Jazz, which had the majority owners in Ryan Smith, Ryan Sweeney, Mike Cannon-Brookes, and others. In two years, the team’s value increased close to 28.5 %, from $1.75 billion to $3.46 billion, as per the Boardroom.

But he did not stop there, Dwyane Wade is also a minority stake owner in the Real Salt Lake of the MLS. But that dream of owning a team where he grew up was missing until the opportunity arose and the 2009 scoring champion took it with both hands. He invested in Chicago Sky and joined the list of athlete investors in the WNBA.

Currently, the Sky franchise is the second-valued franchise behind the Seattle Storm. Further, he produced a movie, The Barber of Little Rock, that also received a nomination for the Oscars. Dwyane Wade also works with his daughter Zaya, who launched The Translatable Project, which was aimed at delivering a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. So the Heat legend is making sure that his career post-basketball is long enough to sustain his family, and his father celebrates the hard work with the new merch.
