Athletes aren’t always competing only in their respective sports. Sometimes, the battle moves over to the entrepreneurial world, and it’s a complete crossover with two of the most renowned athletes of two different sports – WWE’s Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and NBA’s LeBron James.

Both James and The Rock have tequila brands. Dwayne Johnson is the founder and chairman of Siete Bucks Spirits, which produces Teremana Tequila. Teremana Tequila was launched in March 2020.

In the first year itself, it sold 400,000 cases. In the second year, the number is projected to reach 600,000 to 650,000 cases. Reportedly, the brand is valued at somewhere around $3.5 billion. Teremana Tequila could be the reason why The Rock becomes a billionaire.

Coming to Lobos 1707, in 2020, Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and NBA Legend LeBron James became part owners. After investing in the brand, Schwarzenegger revealed that he believes Lobos 1707 will sell at least 100,000 cases by 2022.
