Tim Duncan: Philanthropist
The San Antonio Spurs lost a great player when Tim Duncan retired, but another sport seemed to have gained a specialist in the wake of this. Duncan trains regularly as an MMA fighter, with his trainer referring to him as a “monster” (in the best possible sense of the world) as well as a legitimate contender in the future. Duncan is a jack of all trades, running an auto body shop which he opened back in 2013. The shop is involved in philanthropic endeavors, helping out with Hurricane Harvey and getting supplies delivered across the state. He established his own foundation, the Tim Duncan Foundation, in 2001, which helps fund programs about education, health awareness and research, and youth sports and recreation.

Michael Jordan: Entrepreneur
The man needs no introduction. The Chicago Bulls icon surely didn’t need any extra coins in his pocket after retiring from earnings of over $90 million in 2003. Well, this wasn’t to be the end of his path and financial success. Today, he has a net worth of over $1.3 billion, showcasing just how seamlessly he has transitioned and maintained his superstar status.
The accumulation of wealth came from working hard and eventually acquiring the Charlotte Hornets. He simultaneously makes deals with big companies like Gatorade, Hanes, and others, even owning a car dealership and a string of restaurants, keeping his passive and active income growing at all times. Can you say LEGENDARY?
