Patrick Mahomes officially became the first professional athlete to have a half a billion-dollar contract. While at the time it was a stupendous amount of money for a sports star, he does not make the top 5 of highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.

Investing and being ‘the regular’ Patrick

He is also a stakeholder in the Kansas City Royals baseball team, a Major League Baseball club valued at $1 billion, which made him the youngest team owner in the sport’s history.

And despite the fact that Mahomes said he would be the same person despite his lucrative contract, a few days later, it was confirmed that the quarterback had indeed become the proud owner of a $338,000-plus Ferrari 812 Superfast, with his fiancée getting her hands on a shiny $200,000-plus Lamborghini as a gift.
