Kansas City, brace yourselves—because Patrick Mahomes isn’t just gunning for Super Bowl rings anymore. Nope, the Chiefs’ quarterback and part-time magician with a football has set his sights on becoming a billionaire. And no, he’s not betting on crypto or dropping a mixtape. His latest master plan? Bringing a WNBA team to Kansas City.
Now, before you roll your eyes thinking, “Oh great, another athlete who thinks owning sports teams is the golden ticket,” hear us out. This isn’t your average buy-the-team, wear-the-merch situation. Mahomes is positioning himself to dunk his way into the elite club of billionaire athletes, joining the likes of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. No pressure, right?
Kansas City’s New Favorite Sport?
Apparently, Mahomes is already sitting on a cushy $90 million fortune—pocket change if you’re eyeing billionaire status. But let’s give the man some credit. He’s not just about cashing paychecks; he’s smart about his investments, having already bought stakes in the Kansas City Royals (you know, that team where they swing sticks) and the Kansas City Current (where soccer happens). The result? Fans flock to the games like they’re offering free BBQ at the gates.
So, what’s the next logical step for KC’s most beloved resident? Naturally, he’s decided to bring professional women’s basketball to town. You heard that right. The WNBA could soon call Kansas City home, and Mahomes is leading the charge, likely with a grin and that effortless swagger that’s made him the city’s sports hero.
$50 Million? No Big Deal
Here’s where things get real: starting a WNBA franchise is going to cost a cool $50 million or more, which is just a little bit more than what Mahomes finds in his couch cushions. But the man’s not worried. According to Joe Pompliano, the YouTube entrepreneur who somehow knows more about everyone’s finances than their accountants, Mahomes has the perfect formula for success. All he needs is a loyal fanbase, and if you’ve ever been to a Chiefs game, you know KC fans would show up to watch Mahomes do pretty much anything—even just sit there.
“It’s kind of a no-brainer,” Mahomes said, likely while casually sidearming a perfect spiral for a touchdown pass. “Kansas City loves basketball, and if we can bring the WNBA here, the fans are going to fill the stadium.”
Translation: “I’m Patrick Mahomes. They’ll follow me anywhere. I could start a professional hopscotch league, and the place would sell out.”
Billionaire Status? A Slam Dunk
Let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t just about basketball. If Mahomes pulls this off, he’s one step closer to becoming a billionaire. Just imagine the headlines: “Mahomes Wins Another Title, This Time in the Boardroom!” It’s almost too perfect. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see him in a suit, schmoozing with investors, and making power moves while somehow still being likable enough to make even your grandma a fan?
The bottom line? Mahomes’ ambition has no limits. Kansas City might soon become the epicenter of WNBA fandom, all thanks to a guy who’s already mastered throwing touchdowns, winning MVPs, and launching deep balls. Now, he just needs to add “team owner” to his resume and enjoy watching the money roll in—along with the cheers from a city that can’t seem to get enough of him.
And if things go right, maybe he’ll even dunk on his way to becoming sports’ next billionaire. Hey, crazier things have happened.
