Pau Gasol marries while Silvia López, his ex-girlfriend, triumphs as a nutritionist
Around midnight on Wednesday, the NBA team Portland Trail Blazers announced the termination of the contract of Pau Gasol, 39, because the recovery of his left foot injury has lengthened more than expected. The best Spanish basketball player in history (world champion in 2006 and winner of two NBA rings), now without a team, has the last major challenge of his career: the Tokyo Olympics.
A 20-year career, successful not only in sports, but economically. According to the American portal Celebrity Net Worth, it has accumulated more than 200 million dollars in salaries since it landed in the NBA in 2001. As a rule of the league itself, player salaries are public. Pau peaked at $ 19 million in the 2012/13 season at Los Angeles Lakers, a franchise in which he got two rings.
He has also uncovered himself as a successful businessman. Together with Rafa Nadal and Enrique Iglesias, the oldest of the Gasol brothers joined the promoter Mabel Capital, owned by businessman Abel Matutes Jr, to begin his adventure in the hospitality industry. Pau, in particular, is a shareholder of two restaurants: Tatel and Zela. The first one has offices in Madrid, Ibiza, Miami and Los Angeles. However, the second, with two stores, London and Ibiza, is the best known. His association with the chef of the Kabuki Group and four Michelin stars, Ricardo Sanz, has made the restaurant one of the most sought after gastronomic places in the world.

Gasol also has a real estate company that created in 2005, Futur 16 SL, in which his father, Agustí Gasol, is the sole administrator. In January of the following year, it registered three properties worth 1.83 million euros. Two of them located in Barcelona and the other in Girona.
In Barcelona, there are other homes. Among them, a three-story mansion in the Sant Gervasi neighborhood, a place chosen by the majority of FC Barcelona footballers to reside. In addition, the former Portland player owns an estate of 251 hectares in the town of Almoguera (Guadalajara).
As an entrepreneur, Gasol has always combined it with numerous solidarity projects. Since 2003 he has been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, an entity with which he launched the 'Pau Project' to combat child malnutrition. In addition, in 2013 he created his own foundation, the 'Gasol Foundation', together with his brother Marc, dedicated to preventing childhood obesity worldwide.
