Vinnie Johnson retired back in 1992 after a solid 14-year NBA career. His job title today is CEO of The Piston Group, an automobile supply company founded by Johnson in 1995. The Piston Group quickly became the leading supplier of automobile parts to major automobile companies like Ford, GM, and others while expanding its shops to several states. The company is one of the largest minority-owned business with over $3 Billion in annual revenue.
What is crazy is that Johnson was able to turn his career earnings of $5 Million into 80x more than that. Even more crazy to consider is how Johnson's net worth in on par with that of Shaquille O'Neal, who is known for his wealthy career earnings and off-court investments. Johnson's net worth is also comparable to that of Lionel Messi and Phil Mickelson.
