Dwayne Wade is widely regarded as the best player in the Miami Heat franchise. Leading the Florida side to win all three of their Championships, the 6-foot-4 Guard has had a huge impact on the organization. While Wade might be extremely successful, having collected a long list of impressive accolades, his off-court achievements are also worth noting.

The post also highlighted some of the sports teams that Wade owns. Apart from having a minority stake in the Utah Jazz, the icon is also the co-owner of MLS’ Real Salt Lake and WNBA’s Chicago Sky, a team that was valued at $85 million a few weeks back. Further, a huge wine enthusiast, similar to Carmelo Anthony’s Vii(N) venture, Wade founded his Wade Cellars.
