Joe Embiid, the star NBA Basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers and an honoree in the Forbes “30 Under 30” list comprising leading entrepreneurs under 30 years of age, puts in tireless efforts not only in the field of Basketball but also in other competitive ventures in life. The 7-ft. tall wizard of basketball has such command over the ball that it seems like he dictates the path on which the ball must dribble and move to get the best shot. Joe Embiid
This 28- year old player has in no time, captured a position among the best players of his generation with his dominant style. It is noteworthy to know that Embiid, while being raised in Cameroon, had not even started playing the game until he attained the age of 16 years. His hold over the game has made him immensely popular and rich with a salary of 33.6 million dollars in the current season. He also earns a surplus amount of 8 million dollars from brand endorsements and licensing, making him one among the top- paid global athletes.With his skills as an asset that provides him a stable living, Embiid has not limited himself. He keeps himself open to lucrative endorsement offers all the time that end up making some of his days, nothing less than million dollar deals. He has judiciously spent time in gathering knowledge from Michael Rubin, the billionaire CEO of Fanatics after meeting him as one of the owners of Embiid’s basketball team, 76ers until Rubin sold off his stake in 2022. Making use of his knowledge in investment management, Embiid invested in the sports outfit brand of Mitchell and Ness in October 2022.In the words of Embiid, “The business model of endorsements is great, but that’s not how you become wealthy......I’m at a period of my life where I’m learning a lot because I’m still trying to find what I’m interested in, what I want to do, so this summer was big as far as meeting a bunch of people that helped me a lot, teaching me about what’s the best model to go from rich to wealthy.”Before making investments, Embiid in August, 2021, had already endeavored into the world of business by negotiating a deal worth 196 millions by which he extended his contract with the 76ers for another 4 years, all by himself. It is expected that this deal would turn out to be so beneficial that Embiid would be receiving a salary hike of 13.3 million dollars in this next playing season. By the time the 2026- 2027 season would be held, Embiid’s salary would shoot up to 58.2 million dollars, that too by saving the 4% commission that he would be paying to some agent if he would not be in a position to negotiate all by himself.

While commenting on the growth of Embiid, Mr. Michael Rubin said, “Different than a lot of NBA players, Jo is very financially disciplined…He may save more and invest more, and spend less, than maybe any player.” Adding to this, Rubin says that the two values which always keep Embiid at a position of growth are his willingness and curiosity.
