Alex Rodriguez could be suspended this season in which he would lose his entire 2014 salary of $27.5 million plus an additional $6 million for passing Willie Mays on the all-time home run list.
Rodriguez, however, has become a very wise investor with business ventures in gyms, car dealerships and low-end real estate.
“There’s nothing wrong with a 6 percent yield when you’re making good W-2 income,” said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's Newport Property Ventures owns 6,000 rental units and manages an additional 6,000.
Rodriguez earns as much as $20 million per year from non-baseball sources.
