Tom Brady has taken on a new business venture since retiring from the NFL over the winter

Brady has purchased an ownership stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, owner Mark Davis announced Thursday. According to the team statement, Brady’s attendance at a May 2022 game served as a catalyst for his interest in buying a stake of the organization.

“I am very excited to be part of the Las Vegas Aces organization,” Brady said in the statement. “My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I would tag along to all my older sisters’ games — They were by far the best athletes in our house!”

The statement did not reveal the exact financial parameters of Brady’s ownership stake.

Brady is coming on board at the right time. The Aces are one of the WNBA’s most visible franchises, as the Becky Harmon-coached squad defeated Connecticut 3-1 in September’s WNBA finals to take home league bragging rights.

There is at least a little irony in Brady and Davis uniting as business partners considering early offseason rumors surrounding the possibility that Brady might actually end up playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders found their quarterback elsewhere, though Brady comeback rumors figure to continue to crop up here and there for a while.
