When Jay-Z bought into the Brooklyn Nets NBA team it was discussed quite a bit. Turns out he owned something like 0.5% but the media exposure was big for the team.
- colmvp 9y agoSure but there's a strong intersection between a sport like basketball, and entertainment and rap/hip hop. I would imagine a much more relevant person as a board member for a survey company would be someone like Andrew Ng or Nate Silver. But I recognize that I might be overly pragmatic and missing some imagination. Or conflating the role of a board member.
- giarc 9y agoThat's very true. I guess on the surface people assume Serena was asked to be on the board for the celebrity factor, which I would argue having Serena on the board probably doesn't bring in a ton of business. However, she has been involved in international sports business and marketing since she was very young, therefore probably does bring a lot to the table besides being the tennis GOAT.
