"Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson earned close to $50 million in his NFL career, and there's a decent chance he had a big chuck of that when he hung up his cleats.
The former Cincinnati Bengal said he regularly bought fake jewelry and flew commercial to save money while in the NFL.
"Fly private? I ain’t flying private," he said on Shannon Sharpe’s "Club Shay Shay" podcast. "Put me on Spirit. Exit row. Window seat. That’s all I need. As long as I get from point A to point B. I don’t need private."

Ochocinco should be in the Hall Of Fame. He was the most popular wide receiver in the whole league at one time. He was box office. The face of the Cincinnati for almost a decade.
I’m an avid TYT watcher. But I needed this segment more then ever. Thank you 🖤
I literally met my wife through my friend's best friend while I was sleeping on their couch. When I got kicked out of there she let me sleep on her car as a friend. Now we own a house and are married. I will never say I did it all by myself, it took community and support. I hope everybody finds at least one person to live a life of love with
Nice job. I love your success story.
Never ever buy sh!t you don't need with money you don't have to impress people who don't care.
Marilyn Monroe famously wore costume jewelry almost all the time. She knew people would automatically assume it was real.
it's nice to hear about an athlete that knows how to budget and keep his wealth. i've heard of so many cases where an athlete makes millions and pisses it away or is bilked out of his wealth from those who are supposedly managing his money.
Humble. Not what I would have expected from Ocho, but damn, he's sensible.
What some women don’t get is we appreciate a woman that’s not a price tag checker.
Exactly. Their careers are short, they need to think of that money on a much longer horizon. I've been saying that for decades.
weird that ana thought talking about financial responsibility would be considered politically taboo in liberal circles. What kind of world do we live in where 'consumerism' was celebrated as a liberal idea?
What a wonderful show …love this side of you guys …
He took chicks to McDonald's to see their reaction to being taken to Mickey D's as a first date,vs some extravagant dinner she was expecting.
I dig it.
This was one of the best shows that I've seen you in a long time! Not that any of your other shows aren't great. Indeed, they're very informative and very honest. This segment really displayed both of your characters. I'll keep watching your great content! Thank you both!.
Don't blow it. Keep it simple. Count your money.
Talking about frugality will never be a political talking point for me. Everyone should be thoughtful how they spend their money.
I saved Billions with a B by being broke.
..Schlub!
If you're making tens of millions and you want to buy a fancy car or watch because you have an interest in cars or watches...that's one thing but buying status symbols to impress others? It's pathetic. Why?
Honestly! We all have different interests and if you have the finances to allow you to enjoy the interests, then hell yeah. Love Jay leno’s and Seinfelds car collection….perfect example of buying for the interest and not for the flash.
Soooooooo late he has been saying this for decades...
I'm glad I watched this. This really helped my confidence.
Cenk does not miss a chance to remind us he dated miss jamaica.😅😅
He's not being frugal, he's being smart 💯
I like when wealthy athletes don't fall for that 'ol elitist crap of "I have more than you so that makes me better than you" BS.
And finally, more and more athletes are learning what's truly important in life and are even giving back repeatedly to their communities at a higher rate.
Americans are taught greed. And have been for centuries.
It's the younger generations who are teaching generosity to future generations.
This is what I love most about my fave sport personality Stephen Curry.
He gave, and still gives, freely to the Oakland community... and helps women of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. A true champion beyond the pale.
Rich people don't realize how expensive being poor is. Easy example is cooking. If you're homeless, electricity, cooker, spices all that are huge coats. If you have a functioning cooking kitchen you already have stuff. The more money you have the less you need to buy.
I've been homelessAnd I cooked a lot when I was homeless. You never went to a park and used the barbecue pit? How have humans been cooking food before you electricity with fire. You don't have to have a house in order to buy spices for your foodHow do you get to the spices to your home You go to the grocery store and you buy them. I can go to Goodwill and find a decent cast iron to cook my food on over the fire.
Also lots of statesHave services for the homelessSome more than others. There are placesThat provide day servicesAnd for me when I was homeless there were some that provide access to kitchens to cook.
Being homeless taught me I don't need a lot of money to survive and meet my needs. I was also homeless with a cat. People think you need all these materialistic items You need all this money when you don't. It's more expensiveto have things because you get comfortable with those things that's how you base your life upon and when you lose those things you feel like you can't function.
The cat and Iare doing just fineI live under my knee even though I feel a lot better. I still have the same cast iron that I bought when I was homeless that I used to cook with. Besides personal hygiene items I usually buy second hand in most of everything that I have. I purposely don't buy a loud name brand products like Nike or AdidasThat kind of crap. So just want to let you know somebody's homelessThey can probably find a park that has a barbecue pitand get to cooking like our ancestors did. Every state has a food bank.
This is so true! A nice "outside" is ... nice, sure! But when it comes to what REALLY matters like love, emotional connection or just sex - being comfortable in your own skin is the most attractive thing EVER!
i own only two things that i consider costly. one is my bowler hat, the only one in the town i live. the other is my iyv les paul guitar. both cost me under 200 each but they made me smile. everything else i own is thrift store
McDonald's on a first date no thanks...I'll go to Wendy's though.
😂😂😂
If you already got swag, you don’t need high end fashion to get some 🍑
I'm not a sportsball person, but this guy is great 😆 seems pretty down to earth. I've never understood materialistic people, it's always seemed clear to me that the things that matter in life aren't how fancy your possessions are or how many you have.
It wasn’t just about standing out it was about the companies and franchise not owning his real name!
Great interview. He also talked about giving food service workers big tips because they are underpaid.
This all makes so much sense!!!
Also, from what I know, if you get/are rich, NEVER buy a boat. Yeah it’s cool, you get to hang out, have parties, etc. but you gotta find a port/marina/etc. to park your boat, then there’s maintenance, paying to park your boat, and etc.! It’s a huge money drainer
If you're starting to make a lot of money, maybe DON'T buy that multi million dollar mansion that you'll have to pour all your earnings into? Because your career only lasts so long.
Good job! Risk taking is how we grow. Thanks.
A lot of people thought this guy was stupid and honestly so did I. Then me and my boy started talking one day while fishing and we came up with the same thing Mr. Ocho said, my name is my money. Wow, I bet a lot of broke azz NFL players are kicking themselves now. This guy saved his money while they spent lavishly. I am the same way. I have a nice Citizens watch I bought from Target about 3 years ago. Black in black it's a nice watch. People think I spent a lot on it. Nope, $69. I can afford a thousand dollar watch but why. This watch does the same damn thing just cheaper.
I am a Casio G-Shock guy for more than a decade now. Now I see people spend $700 on an Apple watch, for what?
I don´t wear a watch at all!
I never understood jewelry and never will- isn’t it an open fact that the whole diamond industry is a HUGE con???
Fashion in general- huge waste of money. Be yourself, always cool 😎
Jewelry was always money for people who had to move from place to place.
What always bothered me is that "ochocinco" doesn't even actually mean 85 in Spanish! It's really "ochenta y cinco!" 🤣
Cuz it’s not eighty five. It’s Eight. Five.
Doesn’t roll of the tongue the same way though.
the message there, the right message, is the absolute opposite of Tate's message
I love when Cenk reminds us that he used to be Mr. Jamaica 🇯🇲 Cenk is the best
Love you two! Great pep talk at the end! Thank you ❤😃
"Yes, yes."🙇♀
😻Ana's advice almost always ends up as #AnaWasRight💕
A friend of mine was a star in the NHL making 6 milllion a year. From a farm in Sask he drove an older model pickup and never went out of his way to show off his wealth.
I effin LOVE this story!! Give me more if this!!!
I spent like crazy when I had money.
When I lost it all, I realised how little you can live on. Now, my bank balance is usually £0.00, but my savings accounts are pretty good because as soon as I've paid the bills, everything goes into the savings account. I can still treat myself every now and again, despite living in London where it was astronomical before the cost of living crisis.
That was awesome. You uys restore my belief in creative passion in the world of talking heads. Keep bein real and well always keep comin, cause what they going to do next..
He should have a conversation with Tate. Tate didn't get the memo.
Tate didn’t play football LMAO SHMUCKKK TATES BEEN FAMOUS FOR AWHILE NOW EVEN BEFORE TH-cam, EDUCATE YOURSELF AND DONT LOOK LIKE LOW IQ PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE 😂
There is a reason why THE TOP 2% can do and buy whatever don’t hate, APPRECIATE 🕺
Chad's right. For the rest of us though, this doesn't work. We're already living the minimalist lifestyle.
I don't mess with spirit, not even close to being rich lmao 🤣. Worst airline ever.
Walking the walk is expensive and fleeting. Ochocinco gets it. And I want him to preach it loud, because maybe he'll encourage more people to build wealth instead of just buying stuff. There are too many barriers to that already, and removing one of them is good for everyone.
Mr Jamaica lol 😂😂. That's was good
When i realized i could afford a 10,000 dollar bag without ever regretting it or by bank account looking like i just got paid, shopping got boring for me, i stopped andnhonestly, i have never been happier. The realization that you do not need to follow a "I have this trend" is liberating.
I can say I was never a fan of Chad Johnson, but now I am. He was actually playing the public. He had his head screwed on straight the entire time. When I was going to buy a new vehicle I was trying to decide between a Lexus GX and a 4Runner. I analyze everything, reason to get the Lexus over the 4Runner; luxurious and ……. That was it. Reason to get the 4Runner over the GX; regular gas, lower maintenance, I’m taking sports equipment in it, not a big deal it it gets a ding, it’s cheaper, lower cost overall, am a regular guy I’m not luxury. If I want luxury I’ll rent one for a day or week. One great decision.
That's one thing about oppressed people. If you're not enjoying true freedom then you have to surround yourself with the symbols of that freedom. That' s why that material thing/item is so important to that person. If I feel that I'm worthless, then that means I have to add value to myself by the things/stuff I put on my body as opposed to what I put in it.
Just as often tho, it's an attempt to get the treatment others get. The desperate attempt to say: "see, I'm not a suspect, 'thug', 304, etc I'm successful, I have money, etc.".
@@Alvan81 facts!!! Good point!
Marshawn Lynch had some good advice for young players too. It was similar to Chad’s
Protect ya chicken an ya mentals
Don't drive drunk in Vegas...🥃
My dream is to have my luggage end up in one piece, in the same destination as me.
You guys are a hoot! I'm over here crackin' up! :)
Great video, and spot on
The Mr Jamaica story will never die 😂 someone name his chair Mr Jamaica
I stop buying watches after i purchased my 1st cell phone. What's the purpose? My phone tells time.
2 Bengals related stories this week....im gonna have let y'all have a WHO DEY 🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯
LMFAO
WHO DEY? Dey are the deys that are going to be sitting at home watching the Super Bowl on TV like the fans and players of the other 29 teams that failed.
@@steellady1164 that still a WHO DEY for me baby. we still had a season to be proud of 🐯🐯
@@MzMIndlezzWifey You did. Except for that first game.😁 Being a Steelers fan I just had to get a little jab in.😉
@@steellady1164 first handful of games to be honest 😅 idk why we can't ever win against the Browns. But, you know what they say...no Bengals games come without the complementary heart attack in the first half.
What is very interesting is the people who are rich already know all of this. Now black people who have not been rich they don't know this. But this is nothing new to any rich person period.
Lol why black people only?
Trumps head would explode hearing that conversation
To be fair, Johnson earned 46 million over his career, now reportedly is worth 15 million.
Brilliant logic 0cho👏 !
We used to get free cocktails in coach. And the ashtrays weren't glued shut.
Ocho cinco translates as "eight five". Eighty-five translated to Spanish is ochenta y cinco
that Chad Ochocinco interview i watched it at least 12 times cause it makes a tun of sense and he funny too
So, rich people stay rich by not spending money.
Tell me something I haven't known for 20 years🤦🏾♂️
Excellent show for young people and adults!!!😊
"I don't _need_ you, but I want you"
Now that is a really heart-warming, romantic, and confident statement! She's a keeper!
That is absolutely what you've gotta have, in a Significant Other! If you don't want that, there is something seriously wrong with you.
Ocho Cinco is the truth. Im from Cincinnati and he used to go around town getting his nails done at the mall taking his kids to the local theaters. I never met him but my friends and family have several times. They said he was a nice guy.
Yo Ocho, spread the word.
When I was a youth, most of us Blk kids finances were shaky! Confidence & SWAG made up the short pockets, so MICKEY D'S, BK & FRIENDLY's was it until you could afford steak & potatoes! 😂❤
Glad I'm not the only person who found him dropping jewels in that interview
Simplicity does not mean stupidity.
So don't buy the things I've never been able to even think about affording. Got it. lol
Fake it when you make it!
When Putin did that, it was a hard flex, not a diplomatic misunderstanding.
I thought from the thumbnail this was Chapelle doing his Tyrone biggums character...
There are 2 types of people. Spenders and savers.
I live with three other people, I have a good job and one of my roommates drives me to work. I pay for everything with my credit card. All my income goes to rent, savings, or paying off credit card debt. I keep it simple and it's done wonders for me.
Great take. 👍
He got Ochocinco from the fact that he lived in Miami on SW 8 St and 5 Avenue (a rough area near the i-95 entrance).
Know what else is good for one's happiness and well being? Not being buried in debt and broke all the time! When you have the means, there's no excuse for living otherwise
The dream is to fly first class? You are on the exact same plane as the economy people, just saying...... It's all about perspective.
Unfortunately, if your fake jewelry looks real, you're still at risk of a violent robbery.
If they want it, you just give it to them. Most robbers would rather get their crime over and get away than to become a murderer.
Speaking as a woman. Don't care what you make or wear as long you support yourself. Some do but most don't except the bottom feeders from both sexes.
What's your ethnicity?
@@MEETMagazine Who cares?
@@MEETMagazine You're disgusting You're TH-cam channel is disgusting quit exploiting women. You want R Kelly to be free that shows the world where your mindset is at. Did R Kelly live out your dream fantasy of pissing on under aged little girls? You are sick in the head. Who raised you?
@@lydias2012 @MEETMagazine wants to know the ethnicity she is because he likes to exploit women of color Look at his TH-cam channel It's absolutely disgusting. This little boy is in favor of freeing R Kelly that speaks volumes right there.
I flew private for work a couple times.. and it’s so nice not to deal with tsa.. drive around the airfield straight to your plane and take off.
Love their stories😂
Man did the vanilla ice tactic
You can always find a sensible photographing earring for any outfit at a Claire's
Man was smart with his money, good for him.
I love that he was all, "either the woman doesn't know my jewelry's fake, or she looked up my net worth and just doesn't care what it's made of." although I hope he's not pulling a Trump and sending people gifts of fake jewelry and knock off watches, 'cause that's sooo tacky.
it's sunday
this story is a fine break from the norm.
love this story! a great way to break up all the foolishness
Love y'all ❤️
Chad's a goddamn GENIUS 😄
One look at his Wikipedia. You will form a different opinion.
Flying private is definitely not more of a haste than flying commercial.
But Andrew Tate told me to be a hustler and don’t value women to get women…I’m so confused 😜
I remember when Andrew Taint had to show off his Bugatti to impress Greta Thunberg. Greta is the true Top G. lol
How am only learning today that Cenk is Mr. Jamaica? 😂
A nice house is good but a giant ugly McMansion like the ones the richs buy is a no from me.
Expensive super cars? No thanks.
Rolexes? Why?
Thank you for doing programming aimed at real life skills. There has to be stuff that the left can give about healthy self worth, especially to young men. It’s not about money it’s about who you are and where you are going in life.
This felt like a seminar for confidence. Ana should had said preach at some point when Cenk was speaking lol
Perhaps they’re just hoping for more luck for their viewing audience so they are happier in a relationship?
I'm just gonna fake it till i make it when it comes to confidence
