Caleb Williams is making moves.
The dynamic young talent for the Chicago Bears, is proving to be as formidable in the business arena as he is on the football field.
This week, Williams made headlines with a major announcement via press release about the launch of his new investment firm, 888 Midas, which will focus on private equity, venture capital, and real estate investments.
Williams expressed his longstanding ambition to excel not just in sports but also in the business world. “I always planned on being both an athlete and a businessman,” he stated, acknowledging the complex balance between pursuing athletic excellence and seizing business opportunities. He emphasized the importance of establishing a well-structured business operation to manage these opportunities without detracting from his sports career. “To eliminate the potential for distraction, it was important to me to immediately set up a business operation with established, trusted partners and advisors I’ve known for years,” Williams explained.

To manage the intricacies of his burgeoning business interests effectively, Williams has entrusted a seasoned team of advisors from the realms of real estate and equity.
The team supporting Caleb Williams’ new venture, 888 Midas, is comprised of notable figures such as Lew Wolff, former co-owner of the Oakland A’s and chairman of Wolff Urban; Sherif Guirgis, ex-managing director of Main Street Advisors; Ross Walker, managing partner and co-founder of Hawkins Way Capital; and John Terzian, co-president and co-founder of The h.wood Group.
While Williams is navigating his entry into the professional sports world, he is represented by a robust team of lawyers and advisors headed by his father, Carl. Currently unsigned by the Chicago Bears, Williams is anticipated to finalize a
four-year contract worth approximately $40 million before training camp begins next month. As he prepares for his transition into the NFL, the former USC standout is also familiarizing himself with the Bears’ offensive strategies under the guidance of a new offensive coordinator.
