Draymond Green is one of the best defenders in the league, and there’s no doubt that he’ll be a Hall of Famer at some point in the future. He has been a key part of the Golden State Warriors dynasty and definitely has the accolades to eventually be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Aside from his play on the basketball court, Draymond Green is also a savvy businessman off the court. In 2017, Draymond Green notably claimed that he wants to be a billionaire by the time he’s 40 years old. Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes relayed the news:
“I want to be a billionaire. I want to be a multi-billionaire. I don’t have an exact number, but I just want to be a billionaire first and that’s my goal,” says Green. “I want to do that by the time I’m 40. Tough task for sure, but I think I can reach it.”
Draymond Green has clearly taken strides towards achieving that goal. Andrew Petcash has recently compiled a Twitter thread of Draymond Green’s best investments, among which is Lobos 1707 Tequila and Smile Direct Club.

We’ll see if Draymond Green is able to reach that goal in the future. He definitely seems as though he’s making the right moves, and hopefully, his strategy pays off for him.
