He owns 35 Starbucks franchises, a movie Cineplex chain, the Fatburger fast food chain, 24-hour Fitness Club chain and various other establishments. This former NBA star has also helped millions of urban children through his foundation. Now, he's reaching out to help African American adults learn more about their money and how to save it.
