Dwyane Wade –  $170 Million  –  Food and Beverage

Dwyane Wade is a professional basketball player who spent 16 years in the NBA. He earned an estimate of $200 million playing in the professional league. His endorsements from Converse, Nike, Jordan, and later on, Li-Ning made him earn over $100 million. Due to his injury early in his career, Dwyane decided to venture into business.

His first venture in the restaurant business may not be that successful and gave him problems, but this did not stop the basketball player to carry on and learn from the mistakes that he made. Dwyane started another restaurant with his former teammate Udonis Haslem called 800 Degrees. He also collaborated with Jayson Pahlmeyer and started a wine company called D Wade Cellars. He credits what he learned from basketball into how he runs his businesses. For one, Dwayne believes that teamwork is very important in winning championships. Understanding different personalities and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your teammates as well as yourself could make the difference in making the business successful. As of 2021, Dwyane’s net worth is estimated to about $170 million.
