A tennis player who made $25 million hitting a ball just took a desk job at a Swiss bank. And the bank might be getting the better end of the deal.
Gael Monfils is 40. Zero days of finance experience. On paper this is a retirement hobby.
But think about what a private bank actually sells. The product is trust with rich people, and Monfils spent 22 years inside the most concentrated pool of new money on earth. Pro sports is an industry where a 24-year-old signs a $50 million contract on a Tuesday and has no plan for it by Friday.
The numbers on what happens next are brutal. A famous Sports Illustrated investigation found 78% of NFL players in financial distress within two years of retiring. Athletes rarely lose money to bad markets. They lose it to people they trusted for the wrong reasons.
Banks figured this out years ago. UBS built an entire athlete wealth division and put a former NFL defensive end, Adewale Ogunleye, in charge. The ex-teammate gets the meeting the Harvard MBA never will.
Now look at Monfils. He already lives in Geneva. His wife Elina Svitolina is still on tour, so his locker room network stays warm for another decade. Every player he's practiced with, dined with, or lost a five-setter to over two decades is a future client.
Banks spend millions chasing one meeting with people like that. Monfils spent 22 years in the room with all of them.
That's the hire.

BREAKING material that arrived now to my hands! Corrupt former Malaysian PM Najib Razak’s wife funds a 13M$ mansion purchase for her son-in-law. A few weeks ago, the mansion is transferred to an associate of the royal family, while a pardon request is on their table for the jailed PM. Are the corrupt conducts of Najib continuing from jail?

Markets in Taiwan and South Korea are making history:
The total market cap of Taiwan's stock market is up to a record $4.5 trillion, surpassing Canada’s $4.4 trillion for the first time.
Taiwan’s stock market value has also exceeded that of the UK for the first time 2 weeks ago.
This comes as Taiwan’s market cap has surged by +$2.7 trillion or +150% over the last 12 months.
At this pace, Taiwan could overtake India and become the 5th largest world market as soon as next month.
Meanwhile, South Korea's stock market cap is up to a record $4.1 trillion, having overtaken the UK last week, and on track to surpass Canada this month.
Collectively, the two markets have added +$4.6 trillion in market value over the last 12 months, driven by AI-related stocks.
AI is transforming Taiwan and South Korea into a global economic power.
I studied people who:

• memorized the Qur'an
• resist their phone effortlessly.
They all have ONE skill in common.
And most people don't even know it exists.
Here's their secret:
Interesting findings. Ada research daripada McKinsey yg bgtahu pasal benda ni. Actually research dia untuk CPG, tapi aku rasa closely related dgn apa yg jadi untuk cafe & restaurant.

🚨 Bruno Fernandes on Harry Kane: “If he had stayed at Tottenham another one or two seasons, he’d have been the best goalscorer ever in the Premier League. So, would he have been a legend or not? He would”
“He decided to go to Bayern and the decision is good because he knows he has a big chance of winning trophies. And now we’re talking about Harry Kane that is scoring the same amount of goals he was scoring at Tottenham, but he might win a Ballon d’Or now because he’s going to win trophies…”, told @TimesSport.
Untung orang yang berpuasa. Walaupun dia boleh sahaja minum sedikit tanpa sesiapa pun tahu, namun dia tetap tidak melakukannya. Kerana kejujuran itulah, Allah mengistimewakan ibadah puasa dan merahsiakan ganjaran pahalanya.
