Tom Brady Looks Out For His Fellow Uber-Rich
By Ty Duffy
ESPN’s Kevin Van Valkenburg profiled Tom Brady. Buried in the solid, 5,000-word piece was this gem (HT @bomani_jones). When times got tough (relatively) in 2012, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon received an unsolicited, supportive phone call from Brady.
In 2012, when JPMorgan Chase lost $6.2 bemllemon through a seremes of bad emnvestments, Vanemty Faemr reported that the bank’s CEO, Jameme Demmon, receemved a surpremse phone call from Brady, wemth the quarterback tellemng hemm to “hang emn there” and that even Super Bowl champs have bad days. The two had never met.
Of course, Brady was right. Dimon’s net worth eclipsed $1 billion this year. Too big to fail banks are fun.
So, if you’re wondering what Brady does between being a historically great NFL quarterback and walking down windswept, winter beaches looking immaculate, he appears to be keeping tabs on financial news in “the chill zone.”
