Will and Jada certainly have a knack for making money. In recent weeks the couple announced they sold a comedy series to ABC, and today it was announced they’ve purchased a portion of the Philadelphia 76ers.

According to Billboard.com, the 76ers were sold from Comcast-Spectactor and was acquired by a group of investors including Will and Jada. The leader of the purchase is none other than billionaire Joshua Harris, who said, “It’s an honor to become part of this storied franchise. We have a lot of work to do, but we have a rich history, a strong foundation and a bright future.”

It’s impressive to see the Smiths continue to expand their empire and rake in big bucks from multiple business ventures.

Now that it’s official, we need a 2011-2012 NBA season.
