German Football Star Mario Goetze Chases Gains Off the Field

German footballer Mario Goetze is 33, which is often when players start thinking about life after professional sports. Goetze, however, has been preparing for some years already. Inspired by top US athletes like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, he’s built a robust private investment portfolio that he’ll keep developing after his first career ends.

Goetze, who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany’s Bundesliga, stood out early on. He scored the decisive goal in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil - a month after turning 22 - and helped Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich win five German championships and four cup titles during his time on those teams.
