NBA Players Could QUIT Because of One Ultra-Lucrative Investment

By Matthew Milner, on Wednesday, August 22, 2018

The world’s most successful athletes and entertainers are already rich…

But now they’ve discovered an investment that’s so lucrative, they could quit their “day job.”

For example, rumors have been swirling that Kobe Bryant will come out of retirement to play alongside LeBron James. But Kobe won’t do it — he’s too busy making a fortune from this investment. In fact, he just used it last week to make $200 million.

Kevin Durant is using this investment, too. So are NBA stars Steph Curry and Draymond Green, the NFL’s Glover Quinn, and tennis legend Serena Williams.

And it’s not just pro athletes who are jumping in. So are professional entertainers like Bono, Ashton Kutcher, and Jay-Z.

But now let me tell you the most intriguing part about this investment of all:

You can use it, too.

Enough To Quit Your Day Job

In a moment, I’ll tell you what this investment is…

But first, let me tell you what it’s not

First of all, it has nothing to do with real estate or bonds — those assets just don’t provide big enough returns. And it has nothing to do with stocks, either…

You see, over the last 20 years, the stock market has returned about 8% per year. So if you’d invested $500 into stocks 20 years ago, today you’d only have about $2,300.

But during the same time frame, the investment the pro athletes and entertainers are using has returned 56% a year…

And at that rate, your $500 would now be worth (hold onto your hat) $3.64 million.

And now, to explain exactly what this investment is — and why the superstars of sports, music, and Hollywood are piling into it — let me tell you a story about Kobe Bryant…

Kobe Invests in Body Armor

A few years ago, Kobe invested in a small company called Body Armor.

Body Armor was making all-natural sports drinks to compete with Gatorade, and Kobe believed in its mission and long-term potential.

Slowly and surely, the company kept growing — and last week, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) stepped in to buy a big stake in it.

And just like that, Kobe’s stake in the company skyrocketed to a value of $200 million.

How did he do that?

And how can you do the same thing?

The Secret to Life-Changing Wealth

Here’s the secret…

When Kobe invested in Body Armor, it was a tiny startup. In other words, Kobe didn’t buy its shares on the stock market. He bought its shares when it was just a small, private company.

And as it turns out, startups like Body Armor are the type of investment that’s returned 56% a year — which makes it the most profitable type of investing in history.

And now that pro athletes and entertainers have stumbled into this world, they’re diving in head-first…

Building a Portfolio of Startups

For example, U2's front man Bono invested in Facebook when it was still a tiny startup…

Ashton Kutcher invested in Airbnb, Spotify and Uber just when they were getting started…

And Jay-Z recently invested in a stock trading startup called Robinhood.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams is backing a food startup called Daily Harvest, and NFL star Glover Quinn is putting 10% to 20% of his wealth into startups focusing on everything from pet products to human superfoods.

Then there’s NBA star Kevin Durant. His startup portfolio includes delivery service Postmates; drone maker Skydio; an emoji keyboard called Mirror; and chatbot company Hugging Face.

Startups like these might not look like much when you first invest in them, but as Kobe discovered, they can quickly gain in value — and can make you wealthy beyond your dreams.

Invest Like a Pro Athlete

For the past 85 years, the U.S. government made the ill-informed decision to legally prohibit all but the wealthiest citizens from investing in startups.

But now, because of a new set of laws called The JOBS Act, anyone can invest in these young, private companies — and anyone can put themselves in position to earn 56% per year.
