His clients include LeBron James, Trae Young, and Ben Simmons. He’s known for being very good at his job—and persistent. Since starting his company in 2012, Rich has done almost $2 billion in deals, according to a recent New Yorker article.
One NBA general manager described Rich as “absolutely unrelenting in getting his players what they want, and he will use every means available to him to do that.” Rich is also known for his commitment to “player empowerment,” or helping NBA players build fan bases that support them, not just their teams.
Early Life
Rich was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up, he “definitely wanted to be an athlete,” per the New Yorker, but he later realized that path wasn’t for him, due to his height. “Your heart is big, but I’m small in size,” he said.
Rich originally went to college at the University of Akron before transferring to Cleveland State when his father was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. He then dropped out after his father’s death.
Rich’s father “was always telling me my education was important,” he told the New Yorker. “I always wanted to work. But I still probably would have finished school if my father was alive. I never wanted to let him down.” So instead, Rich decided to follow in his footsteps as “as an entrepreneur and businessman.”

Rich has been friends with LeBron James for about 20 years.
Rich and LeBron first met in 2002 at an airport, according to the New Yorker.
They quickly became friends after bonding over their love for vintage sports jerseys. They stayed close, and Rich started working with LeBron right after he was drafted into the NBA.

“I just felt like Rich was someone I wanted to grow with,” LeBron explained to ESPN Magazine back in 2012. “He’d always kept it real with me, and I wanted him to be down with my team.” Now, the two hang out pretty much everywhere together, from basketball courts to red carpets.
Adele
Big things are happening for Adele! The singer-songwriter, 33, is gearing up to release her next album—and, she recently made her new relationship Instagram-official.
Adele was previously married to CEO Simon Konecki, and the two share a son together, Angelo. They were together for seven years before Adele filed for divorce in 2019. In March 2021, the two finally reached a settlement, per Page Six.
Since then, a few romantic rumors have followed the “Hello” singer around (including a possible connection with British rapper Skepta), but she has continually posted about living the single life on Instagram. Now, she’s stepping into the spotlight with her new boyfriend Rich Paul, 39, a high-profile sports agent. Here’s everything to know about Rich, including his celeb connections
Like Adele, Rich is also a parent.
He has three kids but has never been married, according to the New Yorker. He posted a snap of daughter Reonna on Instagram a while ago:

He owes vast mansions in Los Angeles as well as in his birthplace Cleveland.
