NFL linebacker Bobby Wagner gets equity stake in $1.2 billion investing platform Public.com

It’s great to see Bobby seeing success with his wealth and using it to help others.

I hope one day to see a marquee donation to USU from him.

Good for him. I remember working with a guy in Logan who knew Bobby personally and commented several times how Bobby wasn't really that smart. I think he seems incredibly smart with money. Not to mention he can read an NFL offense better than possibly anyone on earth. Love that he is an Aggie.

We need Bobby back in the USU fold. Maybe a second statue would get that done?

Yeah, I have no doubt his name will be added to the west side building alongside Merlin and Elmer as soon as he retires.

This is just a VC-backed company trying to raise capital by pimping an athletes name to gain interest.

Go to fidelity.com and you can do the same thing. Heck… go to e-trade or Scott’s trade.

He will lose his money on this one.

I will always wish someone luck on their investment (unless they're shorting my positions)

Eeek. Good luck to him but these are high-risk ventures. With the amount of money he's earned he could easily grow his wealth exponentially with very conservative approaches rather than start-ups.

So many athletes end up destitute and bankrupt as they are prime targets for 'investors wanted' due to the amount of money they earn and their name recognition.

Hopefully, he's exposing only a small portion of his portfolio for something this risky.
