Professional Athletes

Given the nuanced pay structures of professional athletes, including guaranteed multi-year contracts, performance-based earnings, and substantial endorsement deal contracts, a comprehensive tax strategy is essential. Thoughtful planning allows athletes to optimize income, reduce tax exposure, and protect wealth across a complex, multi-layered revenue landscape.

True financial success, however, requires more than high earnings. It demands a clear financial plan and a disciplined investment strategy. These pillars help athletes manage income volatility, maximize long-term growth, prepare for inevitable career transitions, and build a lasting legacy.

At 25CP, we understand these dynamics deeply. We tailor our strategies to each athlete’s specific situation, whether aligning around guaranteed, multi-year deals or managing the uncertainties of non-guaranteed contracts and endorsement streams, and we stress the importance of integrated tax, financial, and investment planning to support sustained financial success.
