Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter had been the face of the New York Yankees for twenty years! He has five World Series titles and fourteen All-Star selections to his name, which has earned him monikers like Mr. November and Captain Clutch. The King of the Postseason was not quite done when he played his final game in 2014. After his retirement that year, he launched the website called The Player’s Tribune. This unique site ended up becoming very successful since athletes wrote pieces for the online media platform. In 2017, he teamed up with Bruce Sherman to purchase the Miami Marlins of the MLB.

Ion Tiriac

Ion Tiriac, who was once among the greatest tennis players, hails from Romania. He ended up victorious during the 1970 French Open and even reached No. 8 in the world rankings when he was active in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Not unlike the other athletes here, his post-retirement career was highly lucrative. His success as a tennis player barely holds a candle to his various successful business endeavors. He was able to reach billionaire status by making investments in petroleum, real estate, and auto dealerships.
