Roger and Lewis
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula One champion, joins forces with Swiss icon Roger Federer to invest in a unicorn. It is a Chilean food tech company called NotCo, that turned unicorn in July 2021. The duo invested $235 million, led by Tiger Global. Both Lewis and Roger are not only legends in their respective sports but also smart businessmen.
They have many other investments and make deals very smartly. For a long time, both of them have been on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes. And this is the main reason they identify those businesses that have the potential to grow big. Roger is the seventh-highest-earning athlete in the year 2022, while Lewis is the highest-earning motorsports athlete ever.
Millionaires who are attracted to invest in startups look for risk capital because of the novelty of their business models and rapid growth that gives large profits. However, some millionaires were not interested to invest their capital into a business but have formed their venture capital firm. For example, Kobe Bryant launched the Bryant Stibel venture capital fund in 2013 which invests in startups related to technology and sports.
Some of its endorsements of Lewis are Monster Energy, Puma, IWC, Sony, Bose, Bell Helmets, MV Agusta Motorcycles, and many more. These brands reflect his taste and style of living. Hence, he made the right choices according to his will. Similarly, Roger has a wide list of endorsements that are mostly from premium brands. Some of them are Mercedes-Benz, Credit Suisse, Rolex, Lindt, Wilson, etc.

Since then, the tennis community has been waiting for the legend’s next move with bated breath.
All England Club board member Henman is also excited about the potential return of Federer. The Oxfordshire resident told Express Sport that he wants to see his old friend at SW19 this summer. The British 48-year-old believes the eight-time champion will be an important addition to Wimbledon. Henman is not sure about the role Federer will play if he eventually makes the return.
