The headquarters of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seen in Washington, DC, January 28, 2021. "Celebrity involvement in a SPAC does not mean that the investment in a particular SPAC or SPACs generally is appropriate for all investors," the SEC said in an investor alert posted on its website. "Never invest in a SPAC based solely on a celebrity's involvement or based solely on other information you receive through social media, investment newsletters, online advertisements, email, investment research websites, internet chat rooms, direct mail, newspapers, magazines, television, or radio," the SEC said in the alert.

However, investors would have earned a higher return in the S&P 500 stock index, which yielded 52% over the same time period.
