BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caleb Williams, the first player selected in the 2024 National Football League draft by the Chicago Bears, today announced the formation of 888 Midas, a new partnership that seeks to associate with and capitalize on select alternative investments in private equity, venture capital and real estate.
Caleb's partners and advisors in the investment and business advisory vehicle include:
- Sherif Guirgis, former Managing Director at Main Street Advisors
- Ross Walker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Hawkins Way Capital, a multi-billion-dollar real estate enterprise
- John Terzian, Co-Founder and Co-President of The h.wood Group, a leading hospitality, lifestyle and media company with creative outlets spanning beyond Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Dallas and Dubai
- Lew Wolff, Chairman of Wolff Urban, a long-standing real estate development and management firm, and former Co-Owner and Managing Partner of the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team
Caleb stated, “I always planned on being both an athlete and a businessman. As I’ve reached many of my athletic goals and dreams, multiple business opportunities have also surfaced. Athletes are often inundated with and distracted by these opportunities. To eliminate the potential for distraction, it was important to me to immediately set up a business operation with established, trusted partners and advisors I’ve known for years to strategically take advantage of ventures in the global marketplace. This partnership will enable me to focus the entirety of my time and energy on learning the professional football game and bringing the Lombardi Trophy back home to Chicago where it belongs. I’m beyond excited to have 888 Midas working for me and for its expected growth as an investment and advisory entity in the years to come.”
