NBA star Chris Paul just showed America what real entrepreneurship looks like. The Los Angeles Clippers guard launched The Chris Paul Collective this week, bringing all his business ventures under one roof. This is exactly the kind of American success story we love to see.
Paul’s portfolio spans everything from snack foods to sports teams to tech companies. His Good Eat’n brand is now in over 1,000 Walmart stores across the nation. He also owns stakes in Angel City FC soccer team and Hyperice, a recovery tech company worth $850 million.
The basketball legend didn’t just get lucky with his investments either. He’s been building this empire for 20 years while playing at the highest level. Paul launched his own production company called Ohh Dip Entertainment with his brother earlier this year.
What makes this story even better is that Paul is supporting American businesses and creating jobs. His new collective includes The Playbook Group, which runs camps and tournaments mentoring young athletes nationwide. This is how you give back to your community the right way.
Paul appointed David Schwab as president of his new venture, showing he knows how to delegate and build a strong team. Schwab brings over 25 years of experience from Octagon Sports. Smart business leaders surround themselves with other winners.
The collective also includes Paul’s family foundation, proving he understands the importance of charity and community service. Unlike some celebrities who just talk about helping others, Paul actually puts his money where his mouth is. He’s walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
This is what the American dream looks like in action. Paul came from humble beginnings and built a business empire through hard work and smart investments. He didn’t rely on government handouts or make excuses about the system being rigged against him.
Every young entrepreneur should study what Chris Paul is doing right now. He’s showing that with dedication, smart choices, and good old-fashioned American hustle, anyone can build something great. This is the kind of success story that makes America strong.
