From Court King to Cash King?
Hola amigos! It's Leo here your friendly neighborhood fútbol magician. I heard about this Steph Curry guy you know the one who throws balls into baskets? Apparently he's not just good at that he's got a business empire brewing! They're calling it Thirty Ink and from what I hear it's making more money than I have Ballon d'Ors... okay maybe not *that* much but still impressive! $173.5 million in revenue? Not bad not bad at all. Although I wonder if he can do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke… I bet he can’t.
Under Armour: More Like Under *Millions*!
Seems like his partnership with Under Armour is the golden goose or should I say the golden basketball? Curry's got his own brand within Under Armour making shoes and apparel. And get this he got 8.8 million shares! That's like scoring a hat trick in the Champions League final only instead of a trophy you get a mountain of cash. I should ask Adidas for shares next time… maybe they'll throw in a free pair of golden boots too! You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. – Wayne Gretzky
Profits Soaring Higher Than a Messi Free Kick!
Apparently Thirty Ink is rolling in dough raking in $144 million in earnings! That's more than I spend on alfajores in a year! (Okay maybe not *that* much either but it's still a lot!). They're not just making money they're profitable in everything they do. Bourbon sports drinks even a branding agency! This Curry guy is spreading himself thinner than dulce de leche on toast. But hey if it works it works right?
Unanimous Media: Making the World a *Slightly* Happier Place?
So this Unanimous Media arm of the empire is all about "elevating the under." Sounds noble I guess. They make movies and shows with a focus on family faith and sports. Apparently Curry himself is involved in every project making sure they're all inspirational. I wonder if he's ever considered making a documentary about me? I'm sure it would be a *massive* hit unless his vision does not align with mine then that’s a big NO.
DEI: Doing Good While Doing Business
I like this part. Curry is using his platform to promote diversity equity and inclusion. His Underrated Golf business is helping black and brown children get into a sport that's not always accessible. That's more important than any goal I've ever scored. As he said it's about 'true equity.' I couldn't agree more. We need to give everyone a fair shot on and off the field. This should be the real G.O.A.T mindset if you ask me.
Curry vs. Messi: Who's the Real G.O.A.T...Of Business?
Alright alright let's not get carried away. Curry's doing great but let's not forget who the *real* G.O.A.T is both on the field and well potentially in the boardroom too someday! Jokes aside it's inspiring to see athletes like Steph Curry using their fame and fortune to make a positive impact. Maybe I'll start my own business empire one day. I’m thinking… Messi's Magical Mate Factory? Or maybe just a really good line of yerba mate. Stay tuned amigos! Who knows maybe I'll be giving Curry a run for his money... in the business world I mean. On the field well that's a different story. I'll let my feet do the talking there!
