Kylian Mbappé Invests in France SailGP Team

Everyone knows Kylian Mbappé, right? The soccer star who’s scored more off the field than on it, catapulting him to the ranks of the wealthiest athletes in 2024, with earnings pegged at a cool $110 million according to Forbes. So, what’s next for Kylian? Well, he’s decided to dive into the enchanting world of investments, and he’s not alone.

Here’s the scoop — Mbappé has set his sights on, and pumped some of his massive earnings into Wristcheck, a luxury online watch-shopping platform which is, interestingly, already riding in the same investment boat with Jay-Z himself. What led Mr. Football to Wristcheck, you may ask?

According to esteemed publication, Robb Report, it’s all about innovation powered by technology, infused with creativity. As Mbappé himself said, “I’m thrilled to join Wristcheck as an investor through Coalition Capital.”

But it seems his love for timepieces, being a Hublot ambassador himself, might have played a part too. According to the soccer star, Wristcheck isn’t your traditional luxury watch purveyor. It’s a platform which, in his view, truly understands – and caters to – the desires and expectations of a new generation of collectors. With a blend of sophisticated technology, price transparency, and originality, the company is leading the charge in redefining the watch industry.

Mbappé isn’t stopping at watches though. He now officially boasts the title of team owner too! We’re talking about a stake he recently grabbed in France’s SailGP Team. Investing in tech and sports – now that’s a baller move!

In a nutshell, here’s one more affirmation about how important it is to keep an eye on innovation, while making that money work for us. After all, who wouldn’t want to play in the same league as Mbappé and Jay-Z?
