Proving that one can do whatever he puts his mind to is Hank Aaron, who ventured into the business after being a sportsman. Hank “Hammer” Aaron gained his celebrity status when he was a right fielder for the American Major League Baseball. He also served as the senior vice president of the Atlanta Braves. After his retirement, his team retired his number, 44, as a sign of respect for him. Hank’s autobiography titled, If I Had a Hammer, was in 1990, which he co-authored with Lonnie Wheeler.

Over time, Aaron started to invest in a car dealership in Georgia. He owns Hank Aaron BMW of South Atlanta, where he gives an autographed baseball with every car sold. As part of his Hank Aaron Automotive Group, the former athlete also owns dealerships of Mini, Land Rover, Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda throughout Georgia. He even has a chain of 30 restaurants across the country. Aaron probably made proper investment planning to be where he is now.
