Washington D.C., July 30, 2024 —Today, mogul Club, the next-generation fractional real estate investment platform, announced a groundbreaking partnership with The Players Company, a prestigious collective of over 500 professional athletes, entrepreneurs and accredited investors. Through the integration, individuals within The Players Company network will have exclusive access to elite opportunities through mogul Club’s fractional real estate ownership model. Co-founded by former San Francisco 49ers Sports Scientist, Tom Zheng, former NFL Cornerback Richard Sherman and current NFL Defensive End, Sheldon Day, The Players Company is dedicated to empowering its community to build generational wealth through education, access and event activations centered around sports and finances.
Previous Sports Illustrated reports estimated that 78% of NFL players face financial trouble within two years of leaving the game and another 60% of NBA players are in the same situation five years after retirement. With average careers in America’s four largest sports leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB) of 3.3, 4.8, 3.5 and 5.6 years respectively, many athletes only earn one contract in their lifetime, affecting their livelihood post-career. Mogul Club, in partnership with The Players Company, helps create a path to long-term wealth through a fund and platform dedicated to real estate opportunities, traditionally America’s most lucrative wealth-builder. mogul Club provides users with exclusive access to blue-chip residential assets through a fractional investment model, enabling co-investment opportunities into quality, high-value properties. This integration into the The Players Company platform allows for its members to reap the benefits of high-class residential real estate properties vetted by former Goldman Sachs alums, eliminating the need for guesswork or time-intensive research for real estate investment.
"Together with The Players Company, we are making it easier for athletes to access high-quality real estate investments, diversify their investment portfolio and secure their financial futures,” said Alex Blackwood, CEO and co-founder of mogul Club. “At mogul Club, we’re always looking for partnerships to access communities that will benefit from a more accessible real estate investment option. The housing market has priced many out of home ownership, leaving an entire generation out of what is historically our nation’s greatest wealth builder. This collaboration fits in our mission to help Americans build and maintain wealth through top-rated residential property ownership that’s typically reserved for industry insiders and the most affluent individuals.”
"The Players Company’s mission has always been to help our community and our athletes build generational wealth through educational empowerment and access to quality opportunities by bringing together the worlds of sports and venture. Our collaboration with mogul Club allows us to bring residential real estate into the mix which is a big win for diversification,” said Tom Zheng, CEO and co-founder of The Players Company. “Real estate has forever been a cornerstone of wealth creation in America. Through this partnership, we are giving our athletes a powerful platform to invest in this crucial asset class. We believe that the experience Alex, Joey and the founding team bring, as well as mogul Club’s innovative approach and proven track record of returns make them the perfect partner for our community."
By providing access to premium investment opportunities and fostering a supportive community, both mogul Club and The Players Company are furthering their commitment to helping the community build legacies and achieve and sustain financial prosperity and empowerment.
