I was driving by the Karl Malone Toyota today and it got me thinking what other athletes or celebs own businesses, I have no idea why Karl Malone owns a car delearship here. Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears also is a co-owner of a car delearship here.

Former Indiana Pacer Jermaine O'Neal used to own a club in Indy called "Seven." He has since sold his share and the place is now BuckWIldz. Erik Dickerson also used to own a car dealership, but I think he recently sold it. Peyton Manning has a children's hospital named after him, but he doesn't own it.

Magic Johnson operates his own movie theaters & is a partner with Starbucks. There are a lot of athletes who live in SoCal [both professionals & amateur] but I don't know about any other businesses they may have.

There's a few St. Louis athletes that own restaurants:
Ozzie Smith
Jim Edmonds
Albert Pujols
Al Hrabosky
Mike Shannon
Bernie Federko

I'm probably forgetting some.

Oh, and Nelly, Marshall Faulk, Darius Miles, and Larry Hughes own a bar called the Skybox.
