Business genius! In more than seven months, the principal of 6.5438+0 million has become 25 million. Durant is awesome.

As we all know, NBA players not only earn wages, but also make investments off the court. After all, the more money the better. As for investment, if there is profit, there must be loss, long-term profit and overnight wealth. "Business genius" Durant belongs to the latter.

Although he looks like a contractor, Du Xiaoshuai really has a good eye.

At the end of August last year, Durant invested in Dutchie, an online e-commerce platform, and completed their round B investment with howard schultz, a rapper and former president of Starbucks. Although Durant only invested $6,543,800+,the return on this investment is quite amazing.

As of today, that is, in just seven months, Durant's investment of $6.5438+0.8 million has expanded to 25 million, because Dutchie, an online e-commerce platform, has just received 200 million financing, with a valuation of 65.438+0.7 billion, which should be the fastest money earned by Durant in his investment career.

Of course, this investment not only reflects Durant's vision, but also reflects his courage.

Why? Because Dutchi, an online e-commerce platform, is engaged in hemp business, the business model is to provide a platform for consumers of industrial hemp, browse and select products from different pharmacies in a centralized way, and expand the distribution destination to places other than medical institutions and pharmacies (equivalent to our group's distribution of hemp).

Since its establishment in 20 17, Dutchie has cooperated with more than 300 pharmacies in125 states in the United States and Canada, and executed an average of 75,000 orders every day, accounting for about 10% of all legal industrial cannabis transactions in the world. This platform was detonated by the epidemic in the United States, because everyone can only smoke marijuana at home, and addicts can only use this platform.

Durant saw this and decided to invest.

In fact, Durant is not the only NBA player who sees this business opportunity, but Du Xiaoshuai is the only one who dares to invest in marijuana-related industries.

The NBA completely bans marijuana. Other players are afraid to get involved in marijuana-related business, which will not only cause dissatisfaction in the NBA, but also drive them crazy. But Durant is not afraid. Anyway, he doesn't care much about fan management. Plus, he set foot in the marijuana industry very early, so lice don't itch, so he has nothing to hide.

Earlier last year, Durant recently publicly called for the legalization of marijuana when he was a guest on a program called "All Cigarettes". He thinks smoking marijuana is harmless. His view is this: "Everyone in our team drinks coffee and takes caffeine every day. After the game, everyone will drink some red wine or look for something to drink everywhere. He can unite people. "

So Durant is the only NBA player who dares to touch the marijuana industry now. As we all know, the tobacco industry makes a lot of money and is profitable. After hitchhiking, Durant's total assets are estimated to increase day by day.

Except Durant, most other NBA stars invest in sports.

For example, James recently invested in Fenway Sports Group and became a partner in the group. Fenwei Sports Group is the fourth most valuable sports group in the world, with a total value of $6.6 billion. Although this investment is not as fast as Durant's, it costs a lot to be slow and steady.

In addition, James has officially become one of the owners of the Boston Red Sox, an American professional baseball team. Before that, he was a small boss of Liverpool. He got a 2% stake for $6.5 million, and now it's worth $52 million, making a full eight times.

Another James, james harden, also invested in sports. He invested in Dinamo Houston, Major League Soccer, Darth Houston, American Women's Professional Soccer Team and BBVA Compass Stadium (Houston Multifunctional Stadium), which cost as much as $25 million.

Investing in a team requires a strong vision, because once the team wins the championship, the value of the team will rise. Of course, some teams themselves are hot potatoes, and whoever gets on the bus to make money must be eligible to enter. For example, the Los Angeles Dodgers introduced Magic Johnson only to invest in racing cars. He spent $2 billion to buy the Dodgers with other rich people. Now the market value of the Dodgers has reached $3.3 billion, and the dowry of EJ sauce has also been earned.

But for most players who have no investment vision in the NBA, buying the shares of the team and becoming the small boss of the team is the safest investment. After all, the market value of NBA teams is rising every year, but not falling.

For example, Jordan bought the NBA team Charlotte Bobcats and changed its name to Charlotte Hornets. Although the team's record is not ideal, the market value of the team is rising year by year. At the beginning, Jordan spent $275 million to buy the team, and now the market value of the Hornets has exceeded $/kloc-0.4 billion.

So it's no wonder that Garnett will scold the owner of the Timberwolves regardless of his face after he failed to acquire the Timberwolves. This is equivalent to losing a golden rice bowl that can make money. Can he not be angry?

It can be seen that when these top NBA players retire, it is likely that there will be new bosses of NBA teams such as Boss Zhan, Boss Du and Boss. At that time, the player really failed, and boss took off his suit to fight!
