British professional boxer Anthony Joshua recently shared his thoughts on achieving billionaire status, claiming it cannot be done solely through entertainment or sports. Speaking via Snapchat over the weekend, Joshua advised entertainers and athletes not to be distracted by fame but to focus on the business side of their careers.
He wrote, “To reach billionaire status, it will not be through sports, music, or entertainment. Don’t get lost in the hype, focus on sustainability, financial literacy, and business ethics.”
While there are a few billionaire entertainers and athletes globally, many of them have built their wealth through lucrative endorsements and business ventures. Forbes lists some of the world’s billionaire entertainers and sports figures, including Jay-Z, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James.
