A golden deal with Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms was signed by NBA star Giannis Antitokoumbo, who undertook the international advertising campaign of the WhatsApp messaging service.
The agreement, which lasts for many years, is the first collaboration of the Greek basketball player with the technological giant of the American businessman, who is looking for a strong restart in the face of Giannis.
The deal includes the production of promotional content as well as the organization of various events, with the NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland constituting the “premiere” of the new collaboration.
The financial terms, so far, remain a seven-seal secret. But it is certain that they will significantly inflate the pockets of the 27-year-old athlete.
“It is an application that I use every day,” said Giannis Antitokoumbo on Sunday, as part of the All-Star Game of the American Basketball Championship.
WhatsApp is a subsidiary of Meta Platforms and competes with the respective messaging applications of Apple and Google. It has more than 2 billion users worldwide, and is the No.1 communication application in several countries, such as India and Brazil.
MVP in deals
Since 2013, when he was selected in the NBA draft, the Greek champion has concluded several lucrative trade deals, significantly increasing his bank accounts.
Walt Disney, JBL, Nike, Aegean, STR8, Milko, Protergia, watch companies, video games, TVs, car companies, are some of the gold deals he has signed.
In addition, John has acquired a stake in Milwaukee Brewers’s local Milwaukee baseball team, and has invested in Start up Ready Nutrition, which specializes in the production of sports nutrition products.
In fact, a few months ago, he made the first investments in Greece, in real estate, acquiring two villas with a pool in the western Peloponnese, overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Besides, as a recent report of Money Review has pointed out, together with his brother Thanasis, they have reached an agreement in principle for the acquisition of a minority stake in the investment company Catalio Capital.
Today, Giannis Antetokounbo is the 4th basketball player in the world with the highest annual earnings. He also receives $ 80 million a year, half of which comes from trade or business deals.
