The discussions follow the creation, a few months ago, of Calamos Antetokounmpo Asset Management LLC by Giannis Antetokounmpo, John Koudounis and the founder of Calamos Investments, John Calamos.
This is a bundle of investment funds with an ESG commitment. The first exchange-traded fund created is already trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
One of the Antetokounmpo brothers’ first investments was in the Milwaukee Brewers, 2021, an American professional baseball team based in Milwaukee.

The Antetokounmpo business
In general, Greek freak’s business activities are growing rapidly.
Antetokounmpo recently decided to make a new investment move and open a Greek restaurant in Milwaukee called “Avli”. This is an extension of the chain of specific restaurants that have been around for a long time in Chicago (five in total).
The top basketball player already has a strong presence in Greek real estate (he has invested in one of the neighborhoods of the Costa Navarino tourist resort). Soon, he intends to enter the retail trade as well (he is planning a new Antetokounmpo store on Ermou Street, having established, a year ago, the first one at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport).
After all, 10% of Hellenic Wineries has come into his possession, while his company Ante Inc. has also been selectively placed with other companies in the food and beverage industry.
He also owns Tennessee soccer club Nashville FC and the Los Angeles Golf Club, co-owned by Venus and Serena Williams and Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian, while the siblings also have a production company in the works, as do so many others. N.B.A. players
