What does a movie star, professional athlete, iconic musician or other
celebrity do when they have more money than they know what to do with? They
invest in a winery, of course. The majority of celebs who do this enjoy wine,
but don’t make the wine or run the winery. They’re merely looking for a tax
write off and something else to display and extend their brand. Actors like Dan
Aykroyd, Antonio Banderas, Emilio Estevez and many others have done so.
Professional athletes such as Mike Ditka, Ernie Els, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Weir
and Jo Montana have taken the plunge. Musicians, the likes of Mick Fleetwood,
Madonna, Dave Maththews and Olivia Newton-John own wineries. Even Donald Trump
has one in Virginia.
