Touchdown! Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes is on a mission to crash the billionaire athlete club, a turf traditionally dominated by hoops legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Magic Johnson. At just 28 years old, the future Hall of Famer is already making waves beyond the gridiron, strategically leveraging his fame and business acumen to amass a fortune that could soon make him the youngest athlete billionaire in history.

Mahomes is strategically leveraging his fame and aligning with disruptive, high-growth brands. His latest power move? Becoming the lead investor in Throne SPORT COFFEE, a venture that positions him to tap into the colossal $400 billion coffee industry. “I am proud to be part of Throne SPORT COFFEE and to launch and introduce a better-iced coffee to the masses,” the Chiefs QB stated, channeling his signature confidence.

While the NFL has traditionally been a less lucrative battlefield for billionaire athletes compared to the hardwood heroes of the NBA, Mahomes is breaking new ground, proving that gridiron greats can also excel in the business arena. His path mirrors that of the legendary Jordan, whose $3.2 billion net worth stems largely from his iconic Air Jordans and the recent sale of the Charlotte Hornets for a staggering $3 billion, a 17-fold increase from his initial investment.

“The impact that he [Michael Jordan] made in my life, it was huge,” Mahomes shared during Super Bowl week in 2020, revealing the profound influence Jordan had on his mindset and work ethic, even going so far as to watch Jordan’s motivational videos before games. “Even to this day, I still watch videos on YouTube the day before games and just listen to him talk and how he puts everything in perspective of being great on and off the field.”

But Mahomes’ playbook extends far beyond the gridiron and the coffee aisle. Like NBA legends Johnson and LeBron James, he has diversified his investments across various industries, from sports franchises to fast-casual dining. Johnson, valued at $1.2 billion, has a controlling interest in EquiTrust Life Insurance Company and stakes in the Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA), Los Angeles Football Club (MLS), Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB), and Washington Commanders (NFL).

Meanwhile, James, with an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion, has invested in Blaze Pizza and holds a stake in the Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool FC and the Boston Red Sox. So Mahomes is on a roll with savvy investments across diverse industries taking inspiration from these greats.

The Patrick Mahomes method is aligning with excellence, redefining legacy

Patrick Mahomes’ burgeoning business empire reflects a keen understanding of market trends and an ability to align himself with brands that embody innovation and excellence. His partnership with Prime, an emerging player in the beverage sector poised to surpass $1.2 billion in annual sales, showcases his commitment to partnering with “game-changers.”

“At Prime, we believe in teaming up with greatness, and Patrick Mahomes isn’t just one of the best quarterbacks of all time; he’s rewriting the record book and bringing a whole new level of excitement to the game,” said Prime co-founders Paul and KSI, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between Mahomes’ athletic prowess and his business ventures.

But for Mahomes, this journey is about more than just amassing wealth; it’s about leaving a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the end zones of Arrowhead Stadium. By diversifying his investments, from the Kansas City Royals (MLB) and Sporting Kansas City (MLS) to franchises like Whataburger, and leveraging his brand power, he’s setting a new standard for athletes aspiring to achieve financial success and influence beyond their sports careers.

Forget the Madden ratings; Mahomes is already earning a 99 overall in the game of life. He is crafting a whole new game plan, one that transcends the traditional boundaries of athletic greatness. Like a seasoned quarterback dissecting a defense, he’s reading the market, identifying opportunities, and executing with precision, all while keeping his eyes trained on the ultimate prize – a legacy that will echo through the annals of sports history and inspire generations of athletes to come.
