Tom Brady is making the most of his retirement life. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has been actively involved in expanding his business empire. He is set to become a Fox analyst in 2024. He bought minority ownership of the Raiders and also invested in Birmingham City.
But that’s not the end; Tom Brady has now joined the E1 World Championship as a team owner, focusing on electric racing boats. The E1 World Championship is the world’s first all-electric race boat competition and Brady has also become a part of it. He is also joined by a $120,000,000 DJ in his race boat venture.
Tom Brady welcomes Steve Aoki to E1 series
Grammy-nominated DJ Steve Aoki has also joined the ownership of a team in the E1 World Championship racing series along with Tom Brady and other high-profile athletes.
Other high-profile athletes and former athletes like Rafael Nadal, Sergio Perez, and Didier Drogba have also invested in this league and now Steve Aoki is also a part of it.
Steve has spent a fun-filled life pursuing his passion for music and as a successful DJ and producer. Joining athletes in this new sports venture was quite surprising but he shared that he decided to join this team because of his father’s association with the boat racing.
“The UIM E1 World Championship not only offers me a chance to continue my father’s racing legacy on the water, but this time going electric! E1 is a great blend of adrenaline, sport, sustainability and fun, and I can’t wait to develop our team to entertain fans with our racing and our parties, inspiring change and bringing people together.”
Steve Aoki is super excited about this new venture of his life. As a DJ he knows racing and parties will go side by side and it’ll be a great way to bring people together.
Brady’s Raiders bid hits roadblock
Besides joining the E1 series, the quarterback had also bought the ownership of the Raiders a few months back which now seems like a wrong decision. Brady bought minority ownership of the team which is now considered an impossible deal.
The NFL finance committee has concerns about the discounted purchase price offered to Brady. Raiders owner Mark Davis is reportedly giving the NFL legend a substantial discount, possibly up to 70%.
The finance committee believes that the deal “can’t happen at that price.” The Raiders are valued at $6.2 billion by Forbes, but this price cut would represent a significant discount.
Tom Brady’s application for ownership is undergoing review by the NFL, and it faces obstacles ahead of the NFL owner’s meeting in October. After that, it will be decided whether the former QB’s ownership is acceptable or not.
Even if this deal hits a roadblock, it won’t affect the former NFL quarterback that much as he already has a big empire. His E1 series investment and his analyst job at Fox are already waiting for him. Brady’s broadcasting deal with Fox is worth $375 million over 10 years which alone is a massive deal and his other business ventures are also very profitable.
For now, fans are super excited about Tom Brady’s involvement in the E1 series, and now that Steve Aoki has also joined him, the excitement has doubled. Let’s wait for this new sports venture and watch the adrenaline-fueled racing on the calming water waves.
