A player “mad with rage” after the missed opportunity to be a billionaire!

Everyone dreams of becoming a billionaire, even NBA players. One of them had this opportunity in his hands only recently, but it finally collapsed due to a combination of circumstances. Enough to trigger the rage of the main interested party, and we understand it …

NBA players may well amass colossal fortunes, there is a significant difference between brewing tens or hundreds of millions … and several billion. Moreover, at present, Michael Jordan is the only basketball player turned billionaire in history, which illustrates the difficulty of the project to join this arch-restricted club.

If MJ has mainly used his partnership with Nike and the brand “Jordan”, Hassan Whiteside, he almost hit a staggering jackpot thanks to the cryptocurrency. In vogue at the moment, this new activity appeals to many players in the league. But in this specific case, it above all broke the heart of the pivot, who couldn’t get over having gone so close to the jackpot.

Hassan Whiteside could have become a billionaire

The story is quite simple: a few months ago, the Jazz player invested $ 30,000 in the cryptocurrency Shiba Inu, which at the time was not worth much. Since ? It exploded stratospheric … but Whiteside has already sold everything.

Morning Brew: “Someone who bought $ 8,000 worth of $ SHIB last August is now the head of a wallet worth $ 5.7 billion. From $ 8,000 to $ 5.7 billion in about 400 days. It is perhaps the craziest move in history »

Whiteside: “I had $ 30,000 in $ SHIB, I’m mad with rage ????”

By doing a little calculation, since Whiteside has invested almost 4 times the $ 8,000 mentioned, and could therefore be at the head of around $ 23 billion. The opportunity for a lively, that the big man could not certainly foresee, but which will make him live many sleepless nights in the weeks, months or even years to come.

For comfort, the former Heat knows he will win … $ 2.4 million this year. An obviously colossal sum for Mr. Everybody, but which leaves a bitter taste after such an opportunity. At least Whiteside doesn’t let it impact it on the pitch, having made a good start as a back-up for Rudy Gobert (8.5 points and 7.3 rebounds).

Hassan Whiteside came close to pulling off an absolute madness that would have placed him in the history books for very long years. In vain…
