Hank famously didn’t have a single endorsement in the run-up to his home run record. Clarence Avant, a powerful music executive and entertainment executive, was upset to learn Hank had no endorsements while living in Atlanta just a few blocks down from the world head quarters of Coca Cola. Clarence famously stormed into Chairman of Coca Cola’s office and demanded that the company make Hank a wealthy man. That’s exactly what they did. To date, Hank Aaron has given away more of his Coca Cola endorsement money than he ever earned playing baseball. These donations have primarily happened through The Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation.

After baseball, Hank launched a successful business career. Today he owns several car dealerships. He owns a dealerships that sell BMW, Mini, Land Rover, Toyota, Hyundai and Hondas all across Georgia.
