Former All-Pro TE Rob Gronkowski made a good amount of money during his NFL career and it's helped him branch out into some very successful post-career ventures.In an interview with Fortune, Gronk revealed that the contractor he hired to build his house back in 2014 advised him to buy stock in Apple...
quote:

“Every time I saw him, when we were building the house, he kept saying, ‘Get Apple. Get Apple,’” Gronkowski told Fortune. “So after the 50th time, I got it. And let me tell you, it’s the best investment I’ve ever had in my life.”

“I [had] never been involved in stocks. I really didn’t know how stocks work. So I was like, ‘All right, let me do this, man.’

“Obviously this just fits along the lines of just me being myself; I’m going to put $69,000 into Apple stock,” Gronkowski says. “So I call up my financial advisor. I’m like, ‘Put $69,000 in Apple.’ My own money, with no advice like this, is just from the guy who built my house here in the New England area.”

I think he lived on signing bonuses and didn't cash a check as well. He's smarter than most think.

He and his brothers were on Shark Tank a few years ago and got funded. Don't know how that biz is getting on now.
