Vettori already has shareholdings in several businesses but creating a start-up and dedicating further hours away from his young family seems counter-productive. Similarly, the thought of Vettori as an executive with a major association also appears implausible. Why would he lock himself into a regular 40-hour week or endure meetings around a boardroom table beseiged by powerpoint presentations? He'd be better off acting as a consultant.
As for becoming absorbed by faux celebrity? Forget it. Vettori doesn't even have a Twitter account. It's hard to imagine him attending the opening of an envelope, let alone stalking social page photographers.
What is the key to Vettori's future? He revels in team environments, particularly with a leadership role. That's not necessarily as captain - often he was the perfect foil as senior pro to Stephen Fleming - but NZC must be eternally grateful for Vettori's feats in leading from the front to knit a relatively weak team together as skipper during 2007-11.
He didn't have the services, as Brendon McCullum does, of now-mature players such as Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson, Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
If not for Vettori's tenacious bowling and rearguard batting in many series, who knows where New Zealand would now rank with the International Cricket Council?
There was also Vettori's call in 2010 when he spoke of relinquishing the captaincy post-World Cup and admitted to being happy playing under Taylor or McCullum. Those selfless qualities have been acknowledged by the RCB management.
Franchise bosses see an unassuming man-management style as pivotal for an inclusive environment, especially for younger Indian players and Virat Kohli, who, at 25, is a developing captain. Yet there is a glint of steel to his personality which is more than just the sun's reflection on his spectacles.
One example was the fervent celebrations on the balcony at the Oval when New Zealand beat England on the final ball with a wicket to spare in a 2008 ODI after Grant Elliott had been run out following a collision with Ryan Sidebottom. Vettori erupted.
The RCB won't be lacking for competitive spirit given that hunger to win. He also has Allan Donald and Trent Woodhill as assistant coaches. Both worked alongside Vettori on New Zealand's journey to the 2011 World Cup semifinals. The RCB are not faced with the worry of fledgling working relationships.
Regardless of his playing future, Vettori has a sound financial base from which to build, thanks to years of prudent decision-making by himself and sports marketing agency Essentially Group. Every year since 2008 - the year he signed his first Indian Premier League deal - a calculated estimate of his annual earnings would be at least $1 million.
He already had a strong commercial pull in India before the IPL deal. During the 2006 Champions Trophy, Vettori and Chris Cairns were on a Mumbai waterfront billboard advertising toothpaste with giant brushes slung over their shoulders instead of bats. Vettori's presence can only have grown since.
The 34-year-old could sustain a decent income with an IPL contract worth US$450,000-US$500,000. Add any future Big Bash coaching positions which become available at an estimate of US$200,000 per annum, plus endorsement and consultancy deals. He'd be well set while freeing up at least six months of the year to dedicate to his family. That's a grand prize.
