Post-playing career

The day after he was waived by the Orlando Magic, Moore was contacted by his cousin who works as a developer about an opportunity to invest in the development of Dallas Executive Airport; he estimates that his involvement in the project as an investor will yield more money than his NBA career.{{cite web |last1=Vorkunov |first1=Mike |title=E'Twaun Moore builds his post-NBA life with hometown blueprint as inspiration |url=https://theathletic.com/4043632/2023/01/05/etwaun-moore-junior-bridgeman/ |website=The Athletic |access-date=August 15, 2023 |date=January 5, 2023}} His business portfolio also includes ownership of two McAlister's Deli restaurants, an executive transportation company in Orlando, and real estate in Indiana, New Orleans and Texas.
