Eva Longoria Was Once Clueless About Investments—Now She Profits

The actress, philanthropist, and entrepreneur reflects on a decade since investing $6 million in 'John Wick'

Longoria invested in the 2014 film 'John Wick' without fully understanding how investments worked. Ten years later, she continues to receive checks in the mail.

Eva Longoria is a successful actress, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. But a decade ago, she was clueless about investments. That changed, however, when she invested $6 million in the 2014 film “John Wick.”

At the time, Longoria, a New York City native, admitted she had no idea how investments worked. She simply trusted her gut and invested in the film because she believed in the project and the people behind it.

Longoria's investment turned out to be a wise one. “John Wick” was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $86 million worldwide against a production budget of just $20 million. Longoria's investment has paid off handsomely, and she continues to receive checks in the mail to this day.

Longoria's story is a reminder that you don't need to be a financial expert to make successful investments. Sometimes it's just about trusting your instincts and believing in the people behind the project.

Here are some of Longoria's tips for investing:

• Do your research. Before you invest in anything, take the time to learn about the investment and the people involved.
• Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Investing always involves risk, so it's important to only invest what you can afford to lose.
• Diversify your investments. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments across a variety of different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.
• Be patient. Investing is a long-term game. Don't expect to get rich quick. Be patient and let your investments grow over time.

Longoria's investment in “John Wick” is a reminder that anyone can be a successful investor. Just do your research, invest wisely, and be patient.
