Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is expanding his portfolio.

888 Midas

As AFROTECH™ previously reported, Caleb Williams — the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — launched investment firm 888 Midas that same year. The firm was created to “capitalize on select alternative investments in private equity, venture capital, and real estate,” notes a Business Wire press release. This fulfilled his desires as both an athlete and businessman, he said in the release.

“Athletes are often inundated with and distracted by these opportunities. To eliminate the potential for distraction, it was important to me to immediately set up a business operation with established, trusted partners and advisors I’ve known for years to strategically take advantage of ventures in the global marketplace,” Williams commented.

Investing In Boston Legacy Football Club

888 Midas’ latest investment is in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club, Boston Legacy Football Club. According to a news release shared with AFROTECH™, Williams joined its investment group through the firm and sees this as an opportunity to grow women’s professional soccer.

“With 888 Midas, we are so excited to be part of the Boston Legacy Football Club,” said Williams in the news release.

“Women’s sports is a movement, and I admire and respect the work that the team and the NWSL continues to do to grow the sport and empower future generations of athletes. Boston Legacy Football Club is building something special, and we’re proud to be a part of what’s next,” he continued.

Jennifer Epstein, controlling owner of Boston Legacy Football Club commented:

“Caleb’s investment in Boston Legacy Football Club highlights the powerful momentum of women’s professional soccer and what it means to have professional athletes investing in our future. It symbolizes a new era of cross-league support and recognition. With best-in-class athletes, a rapidly growing fan base, and undeniable energy around the NWSL, we are proud to welcome Caleb as a partner as we prepare for the 2026 inaugural season.”
