Watch: When Two GOATs Michael Jordan and Tom Brady Played Impromptu Pickup Game in Bahamas

There are two important figures in the world of sports that have made space in their fans’ hearts forever, NBA legend Michael Jordan and NFL GOAT Tom Brady. Not only have they changed the trajectory of the sports they played, but have also become highly successful businessmen by making the right off-field choices. One such business choice made by the six-time NBA champion was to join former Victoria’s Secret Angel and Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen at DraftKings.

Gisele was the highest-paid model for fourteen consecutive years, thanks to her mega-contract with Victoria’s Secret. Her first major paycheck was $8 million, needless to say, it was just the beginning. Now, the Brazilian beauty is worth a whopping $400 million. On the other hand, MJ is not only known for his remarkable NBA career but also for his smart business investments. His partnership with Nike presented him with extremely fruitful results. He became a billionaire in 2014 when the price of Charlotte Hornets, an NBA franchise, rose exponentially. Now, the NBA legend is worth a colossal $1.7 billion.

Therefore, it makes sense that two highly successful individuals united at DraftKings as special advisors to take the organization to unprecedented heights.

Gisele Bündchen and Michael Jordan teamed up at DraftKings

In September 2020, Jordan became a special advisor to $20 Billion worth DraftKings, a company focused on daily sports fantasy and sports betting. Shortly thereafter, Gisele Bündchen also joined the Kings in the same capacity. Both MJ and the runway vixen offer strategic advice to the company’s board of directors.

The supermodel specifically contributes to environmental, social, and governance initiatives, while Jordan’s involvement stems from his passion for gambling. Additionally, they both hold an ownership stake in DraftKings, allowing them to benefit massively from the company’s success.

With a combined net worth of $2.1 billion, Jordan and Bündchen became a formidable duo in the emerging sports gambling industry. Their partnership solidified their position as two of the most influential figures in the space. Together, they hold considerable power and influence as co-workers, leveraging their vast resources and expertise in the industry, which in turn has allowed the organization to rake in massive profits.

Bündchen recently celebrated Mother’s Day after parting ways with Tom Brady

The renowned supermodel, who divorced Tom last year, is starting to focus more on her professional life. However, at the same time, she has been giving a lot of attention to her children as well. Therefore, to celebrate the special day, Gisele recently posted a series of pictures on her Instagram account.

While the last year or so hasn’t been a good one for Brady and Gisele, both the superstars are steadily creating a happy space for their children, who were massively affected after the celebs decided to part ways.
