Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors star and NBA Finals MVP, said he began investing in tech companies while playing in Oklahoma City before adding, “But if you come out here, it’s obvious that you’ll be just entrenched in this community.”
The soon-to-be 29-year-old has pocketed about $132 million in career NBA salary, not to mention his lucrative endorsements which Forbes estimated to be $36 million just for the past season. Durant has joined teammates like Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala as Silicon Valley investors, with stakes in companies such as Postmates, Rubrik, Acorns and The Players Tribune.
