Patrick Mahomes is a true sports fan who plows NFL millions into an incredible portfolio, sits courtside and backs Royals
With Patrick Mahomes dominating the NFL and taking over from Tom Brady, talkSPORT takes a holiday look at Mahomes’ 12 most important life moments… The last time the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t win the AFC West, their superstar quarterback was playing another sport. GettyPatrick and Brittany Mahomes are avid sports fans[/caption] In 2015, Mahomes was on Texas Tech’s baseball roster – it’s no wonder he has mastered the slide. The gifted athlete was a three-sport star at Whitehouse High School and highlights of his insane basketball skills show he had plenty of career paths to choose from. Mahomes has committed to the NFL and there doesn’t appear to be any signs he is planning a Michael Jordan-style switch. But that doesn’t mean he has let his passion for other sports dwindle. The Texan is a regular at Dallas Mavericks games – enjoying courtside seats as a friend of owner Mark Cuban. He and wife Brittany – a former professional soccer star – were spotted taking in postseason action this year and Mahomes voiced a hype video ahead of the NBA Finals defeat to the Boston Celtics. After bringing three Super Bowls to Kansas City, the 29-year-old will never have to reach for his wallet in a bar again. And the dedicated servant also likes to fly the flag for the Royals, regularly posting on X to hype up the city’s MLB team. In 2020, fresh off the back of his first Super Bowl title and a $450million contract, he agreed to invest in the franchise – becoming the youngest part-owner in sports at 24 years old. “I love baseball,” Mahomes said at the time. “I grew up in clubhouses. I love everything about it.

The Chiefs QB is a backer of the Alpine Formula 1 team alongside fellow Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce. Per Sportico, the team’s valuation has jumped from $311million to $1.5billion since. Patrick and Brittany are co-owners of the NWSL franchise Kansas City Current. The team boasts the first privately financed stadium built exclusively for a professional women’s soccer team with the Mahomes family often appearing at games. MLS outfit Sporting KC also boasts Mahomes as a co-owner – and he is not done there. The ambitious couple are also eyeing the WNBA expansion and hoping to bring a team to Kansas City. Spreading his wings slightly, Mahomes has even ventured into Pickleball. He is part of a star-studded investment group that owns the Miami Pickleball Club along with tennis aces Naomi Osaka and Nick Kyrgios, and musician Kygo. Kansas City residents are already spoiled for choice in sports teams thanks in part to their adopted son. And there could be more to come from the budding entrepreneur, who will have plenty of side hustles to keep him busy when he hangs up his cleats.
