Buy and just lean back
Rob Gronkowski is one of the most remarkable players of the golden era of the New England Patriots. He signed a deal with them worth 54 million dollars. And still holds the record for the most touchdowns for New England.
But a very remarkable anecdote tells about how he made another small million without even realising it. His contractor pushed him in 2014 to buy Apple stock. He hesitated a bit, but eventually bought 69000 USD worth of Apple stock in 2014. But he completely forgot about it.
Now 10 years later, he suddenly realised he still had the stock, and then found out the value had 10-folded in just 10 years. So, suddenly in 2024 he was 690k richer than he thought he was.
Doing nothing can pay big
This shows once again how much sports professionals can earn, but also that it is sometimes better to do nothing with your portfolio. Just lean back and let it accumulate.
Imagine he had bought 69k of Bitcoin in 2014, he would be a billionaire right now!
