Tom Brady is the newest member of the Las Vegas Aces, a WNBA team. Brady has achieved a lot of success in football and recently announced his retirement. However, he will still be involved in sports.

The Aces are one of the best WNBA teams and are coming off a championship run. The team is run by Becky Hammon, who had a brief tenure in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs.

Brady became a part-owner of the Aces on Thursday and he's looking forward to being a part of the popular basketball team.

After winning the championship last season, the Las Vegas Aces are valued at approximately $14 million. Tom Brady's net worth, on the other hand, is estimated at $250 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Complete details of Brady's acquisition of the WNBA team haven't been released yet. However, it was revealed that he acquired a partial ownership stake in the team, meaning that he likely owns less than 50% of the team.

Tom Brady enjoys watching women's sports

One of the reasons why the football legend decided to invest in the Las Vegas Aces is his love for women's sports. Brady revealed that his love for women's sports began when he was watching his sisters play.

"My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I would tag along to all my older sisters’ games," Brady said.
"They were by far the best athletes in our house! We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a great inspiration to me."
