Teams, athletes, celebrities react to Patrick Mahomes becoming part owner of the Kansas City Royals
Mahomes is the youngest owner in MLB history

Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes continues to make money moves in 2020 as the 24-year-old quarterback became a part owner of the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. The defending Super Bowl champion and MVP just signed the biggest contract in sports history and is already investing his money.
The KC quarterback went from being an MLB prospect to owning a team in under 10 years, which isn't too shabby. He was also a first-round draft pick and a league MVP -- on top of his many other touchdown records -- already giving him a career most veterans would dream of.

Mahomes has expressed nothing but love to KC and says he is excited for this opportunity.
"I'm honored to become a part owner of the Kansas City Royals," he said. "I love this city and the people of this great town. This opportunity allows me to deepen my roots in this community, which is something I'm excited to do."
