Blind Item #8 - Athlete Investor - Mr. Hedge
As someone who has seen the inner workings of the deal - his investors will see most of their money gone, within just a few years. Our athlete has far less of his own financial skin in the game, than what the public has been led to believe.

Jeter and the Marlins, which makes me sad.
Definitely Jeter. That team is a disaster
I don't think Jeter paid any money for ownership, from what I remember he is receiving a salary from the team, plus other perks.
Jeter has a deal based on this team turning a profit. He has very little invested in the team financially but he makes a killing if he's turns things around.
100% Jeter and the Marlins
Agree with it being Jeter. So overrated.
Shack O'Neil and the Carnival Cruise lines
Definitely Jeter and the Marlins.
Jeter. The investors will lose nothing, because the value of the franchise will still go up.
Tom Brady with his TB12 method.
This 100%....already got rid of Stanton..he was their ticket
Beckham for sure
I think this is A-rod, MSNBC is pushing his shark tank for athletes gig- HARD
I assumed Kobe and Bryant Stibel venrure fubd but "team" makes one think Jeter and Marlins.
Jeter is only part owner (tiny part) of the Marlins (also CEO). I don't think there's a "his investors" type situation there. Also, it's no secret that Jeter doesn't have a majority stake. Becks, otoh, was the impetus behind his MLS team and I suppose you could call his ownership group "investors." MLS gave him the option to buy a team at a discount when he retired, but he would of course need more money. His celebrity in the game would be far more important to any deal than Jeter's, so it would make sense to have him out front as an owner and not front office like Jeter.
I'm going with Becks only because I can't think of anyone else besides Didier Drogba and his USL team, and while one of the GOATs in the EPL, you all don't know who he is.
OJ and Hertz Rentacar
Been a few years since Beckham retired, so it's not him.
