Athletes need to show this man so much respect/love/and support. He legit broke down the door for College student athletes making money off their likeness/name etc. Colleges make millions off these athletes and only used to give students meal plans, if that.
He pretty much ruin his chances at NFL
@@xaylee1233 this guy owns a lot of businesses I think he's good
@@xaylee1233 I think he knows. He made his decision a long time ago. Still more successful than he would’ve been in the league. He’s chilling. People like you come out of nowhere with negativity for what?
@@aboucard93 nobody can have an opinion without ppl saying I'm hating I said nothing rude about him
@@xaylee1233 he would’t have made as much money being a kicker. Lowest paid position is kicker💀
Man seeing Deestroying and his success over the years are crazy, everybody wants to collab and do videos with him. The grind ain't never stop and now its noticed too. So inspirational Deestroying!!
This man is actually very smart, very tactical and logical thinker with the decisions he makes, that’s why he is where he is at today
Not very smart if hes buying a bust down rollie lmao
@@lukehebenstreit3077he can afford it and you don’t bring money with you to the grave brotha
@@sebastiananderson4535💀
Respect to Y'all for doing youtubers and big ups to Destroying for paving the way. Hopefully one day I can feature on this channel.
He not a Millionaire
@@slowmoezieyour slow
@@slowmoezie I guarantee you he is. Honestly dont know how you could think he isn't
God told me he aint got it like that
@@slowmoezie he just told you how he spent his first million...
I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 soon and I need ideas and guidance on what investments to make to prepare myself for retirement, especially with the impending inflation and recession; my target is to have a portfolio of at least $$$k at the age of 60. Very well said.
Particularly during current weak market, there are many opportunities to earn big profits, but such sophisticated trades can only be done by knowledgeable market professionals.
@Drago250 Could you please leave your investment advisor details here? I need it urgently.
@Dragon Jee Much thanks to you for this astonishing tip. Confirmed her, kept in touch with her and booked a call. She appears to be Capable.
Haven’t been feeling the content lately but I’m truly happy for bro . The grind never went unnoticed !!!!!
same but slow months. itll pick up in the spring like usual.
im really proud of dee man😢 i seen him come up while back in high school wit only 90k subs
to retire your moms, buy land, buy a house, then put his friends on a salary. yeah he’s really doing it
I was there before he had issues with the NCAA and it makes me so happy to see him doing what he loves till this day. Deestroying will always be someone I look up to! Keep it up!
For sure they did him dirty!
Respectable picks, good balance between splurging and investing. Dee definitely got his head in the right place.
It’s so refreshing to see Deestroying stuck with what gave him joy and he’s blessed because of it
I respect him cause while he preaches financial stability he also isn’t gonna lie he never really had money and when you get money like that you spend it, he earned it been a fan for years so this was awesome to watch
The man has the right mind , and seems he’s got the right people around him . I wish I was thinking like him at his age
I'm glad to see this young man be successful and take care of his family. Like his energy. Good dude.
Big smile seeing Dee all the way on this platform. Happy for him. 🔥
Wish you many blessings brotha keep doing what you are doing helping youth we need more people like you exposing there talent
I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.
I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?
@@halselong4517 There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profit especially in a down market, but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts
@@lolitashaniel2342 My advisor 'Stacey Lee Decker' she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
@@edelineguillet2121 Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find her handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
That’s fvcked up that they wanted to make him choose between being broke in college and making money legally in a way that did not affect his athletics or his education.
Proud of this man I’ve been subscribed to him since he had 2K subs he absolutely shitted on the critics
I love Deestroying I’m glad y’all are doing TH-camrs now
One of the Best TH-camrs on TH-cam i love your videos Deestroying 💯🐐
My son has me watching your videos. Now that I know your backstory I'll be subscribing! Kudos to you young man
great comment
been watching him for years. amazing seeing him on GQ. His deserves all his success 💫
"they gave me an ultimatum, either the scholarship or TH-cam... I chose TH-cam, now we're on GQ baby"
Dee carried last year summer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
nothing but respect for this humble guy, enjoy the content bro
I remember when he got kicked out of college. Big ups to deestroying man.
I think him choosing TH-cam was a very good idea. He will make so much more then he has now in the next few years and beyond. I really respect Deestroying and his content is amazing.
Congrats on the success D!

That's love that Dee shouted out Troy! I been watching yall since the skit days so it's great to see Troy get his flowers
Been watching deestroying for years. For real legend in this youtube thing
Who remembers wen Dee got kicked out for making money bc he was in the ncaa. He legit paved the way for college players getting a piece of wat the schools make off them
dee and lavar ball both made it happen fr
@@downermartez Lavar Ball doesn't get the credit for what he was able to accomplish with his sons. Even the son that isn't in the NBA is able to remain relevant.
@@moblack5883of course he a millionaire too
@@downermartez lavar did so much for the basketball community it’s sucks that ppl hate him jus for being real
Bro the fact that he’s Costa Rican is amazing.good to see a fellow Costa Rican goin big
Best intro and monologue to My First Million thus farrrr!!
D on GQ? DOPE! This man been grinding for a LONG time. Imagine if NIL was around when D was still hardcore training.
My boy made it fr! I’m proud of dee he deserves everything he’s been getting lately. Hopefully my time coming soon

Glad to see him win, when Keke the Goat getting the ring?
Congratulations young man.
I see You're wearing Prime.
Been here since DE LA SALLE days man, his Canadian kicking gig and all that. Love seeing the growth
AYEEE fam came a long way!!!!
WE NEED MELO BALL
I started watching his videos on Facebook, by accident. Last year sometime, because they would just start randomly popping up and playing. He was just only doin one on ones at the time, now look where he's at. And all of this happened in just a short year. if you don't think God is real you are tripping. God will change your whole life in a heartbeat.
This probably the smartest way I seen someone spend their first million.
lol yeah, 300k on cars and jewelry . Very smart
@@sns512 he says in the video how he rents out his cars to people and if your a millionaire why wouldn’t you buy yourself something nice? Not really a dumb way to spend money
Drip on point!
To this day I still can’t believe how he was f’d over but now they got NIL 😂 he was played
I wish he chose the scholarship but TH-cam is doing great for him
