Carmelo Anthony made $262 million playing 19 years in the NBA, but his biggest paycheck is still to come. Sure, Melo was savvy on the court, but he might just have a higher IQ on investing. As the first athlete besides His Airness to get his own signature Air Jordans, Melo's secretly made impressive off-court moves since then - having stakes in companies from a diverse array of fields: 🔸 Private equity 🔸 Tech 🔸 Media production 🔸 Restaurants 🔸 Fashion 🔸 Wine You can also add global ambassador for the NBL to that growing list. The NBL, of course, is Australia's basketball league that some say is second only to the NBA. He's even planning to double down on the NBL and be part of an ownership group for a future expansion team. Melo might've only officially retired from the NBA less than 2 years ago, but his next chapter already looks incredibly promising.
