As the star states, he has met some of his best friends while playing video games. That leaves gamers wondering if they were ever rude to Durant on accident, missing out on a potentially lucrative friendship.
He mentions how they went from online to IRL friends. That is quite the wild story for those he is talking about. Imagine meeting someone while gaming and it ends up being Kevin Durant. Would you even believe him?
The two-time NBA champion has a wide variety of off-the-court interests and just received a nice payday from one of his investments, per Joe Pompliano.
Kevin Durant and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, invested in Hugging Face’s seed & Series A fundraising rounds.
Nvidia just acquired the company for $12.9 billion, and since I’m told Durant invested $100,000 in the seed round and $150,000 in the Series A, he likely made more…

Reportedly earning over $60 million for a $250,000 investment is quite the savvy move. Perhaps he told some of his friends about the opportunity as well. Though their initial investment likely included fewer zeros in the dollar amount.
Durant turns 38 years old in September and is nearing the end of his career. The good news for him is that he seems to have no problem establishing a busy and fun life away from the court.
