Issa Rae Is An Investor In 3 Professional Sports Leagues With Unrivaled Being The Latest

Multi-skilled Issa Rae is a three-time sports team owner with an estimated net worth of $20 million. In 2025, she expressed that she measures success not by business ventures, but by whether her content remains on air, as previously reported by AFROTECH. Now, in 2026, she is back to HBO with a half-hour comedy pilot titled "Untitled Male Friendship Show," following the end of her popular series "Insecure" five years ago.

Rae is also making waves as an investor in Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 women's basketball league founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. Rae participated in Unrivaled's oversubscribed Series C funding round, which brought the league's valuation to $650 million. She stated that Unrivaled inspires her and all those who aim to set new benchmarks, and she is proud to back the league's progress and future achievements.

Collier expressed that the investment helps Unrivaled maintain high standards, benefiting players and fans alike. Rae also has investments in the new Los Angeles Orbit women's volleyball team and is a club partner for San Diego FC.
