I just can't feel sorry for someone who makes hundreds of millions of dollars in a span of 10-15 years, then doesn't have the common sense to put some of it away and downsize after they retire.
Unfortunately that is the world we live in. Kim Kardashian makes millions for doing what? Yet people like you who actually did something worthwhile of their lives make a lot less. These idiots are greedy and stupid. The majority of athletes in those sports, are not like race car drivers, golfers and tennis players. Those usually come from rich families that can afford the gas and the go kart to start off, afford the tennis court to train when they are kids and or can be in a golf club. But the majority of these other athletes come from very poor backgrounds, where their parents made probably less than $50,000 a year. So they should have been okay with spending way less. But it's the contrary.
SARGE - So did my dad. To the point of Asian Orange. He still doesn't complain about them and their decisions that have no bearing on him nor mankind. HOOAH
...ohoh, time to get a REAL job....nothing wrong with an unreal job, though, if you can get one like these guys had....getting paid to PLAY A GAME!!!!!.....WHAT A COUNTRY!!!!!!!....btw, yes, i do realize these guys are/were the best of the best, too.....easy come, easy go.....
MC Hammer handed out money to his whole neighborhood. Is it wise(maybe not). He wasn't worried about that money because life is short(live it up)but stay saving
Eleven kids from five different women? WTF man?????????? Anyway, keep your mouth shut about how much money you got or make. It seems like everybody's trying to work you from different angles to get into your pockets. Family is the worst. I am a merchant seaman and when I get off a ship I got everybody hitting me up. First comes the hard luck stories, then I get reminded about the favor they did for me six and a half years ago, then comes how much they care about me, then comes the sad face, then come can I borrow some money...
how can Delonte West be broke and his son(LEBRON )worth more than half a billion $$$? it's simple pick up the phone and call Gloria,get off the streets man, UNBELIEVABLE?
OK. So you earn 100m. Fed's take half. You have 50 mil. You have to be a total asshole to be broke with 50 Mil after taxes. Tell everyone you know that is not in your immediate family good bye. Hire independent auditors every year. Live reasonably.
Before or after taxes, that's a lot of money. Say Walker had half of $110 Million. That's $55 Mill. With no interest or investments that sack of lard could have spent $500,000 a year for 110 years before he would become broke. If $500,000 is not enough for you to live on when your parents raised you on $50,000 a year, then you deserve to be broke.
Gambler's high is a hell of a drug. Especially when you're in on the action with Michael Jordan. Antoine flexed and in the end paid for his ego and bad choices/vices.
Joe Louis lost his money and became a Las Vegas casino greeter before he died. Don't know if he lost it from bad investments, marriages/children or plain old riotous living. 💸
This is a perfect example of why you can't just fix problems with $$$. Education & hard work are the only true ways to financial/ social success. Throwing 10's of million's $$$ at these kid's & no supervision is a recipe for disaster. Especially when you take into consideration the pathetic state of America's school system. 🤔
But kids go into debt with college loans, and hard work goes unrewarded like Frank Grimes. You need to educate yourself and be willing to find/exploit opportunities without losing your soul.
You obviously live in a dream world...Hard work and education can get you jack squat...Ask all those people whose pensions were eaten away during the 2008 financial crisis...They all had education and worked hard ...
Really hard to feel sorry for them. Bet hey I’m sure they had a great time while it lasted. No stop trying to relive your glory days and get a job like the rest of us.
This Delonte West story is an understatement. I know someone who said that they saw him out in public and at first he thought that he was seeing things, but knew that it was West cause of the hair and he said that he was a weirdo and looked like he just took a hit of heroine from the back of an alley from somewhere.
So why is it that an equal number, or at least a portion of these guys, don't end up broke? And it is obvious the "hey stupid, don't do this" classes don't work for most, either.
Not sure if one exists, but there should be a program to show professional players how to manage their new-found wealth. Very tempting nowadays to get a lucrative deal, then coupled with no financial discipline, the bloodsuckers (agents, financial advisors, family members etc.) get their claws into these young men, and before one knows it, they're left penniless. I nominate Marshawn Lynch to run this program. If I remember correctly, he has yet to spend a penny of his last contract, and lives off the interest/investment gains. Way to go, Marshawn!
RICKY ROSAY/RICK ROSS got EVANDER'S mansion. AND ON GIVING MONEY!!!!!........i'll never give out more than i could afford to.....that'll never happen to me. They say never say NEVER............"NEVVVVVVVER!!!!
It’s hard for me to believe that Howard couldn’t offer Vin something better than a job making coffee. He made that owner millions. I would’ve taken that as an insult. 😒
To be fair they deserve it for being stupid like all these rappers that blow hundreds of thousands if not millions at strip clubs, on dozens of cars, on stupid ass jewelry so they wind up broke a few years later when fans move on
Which other pro athletes went broke?
Allen Iverson was broke...
For a short time Josh Hamilton was broke
Grunge Joe Louis
How was Mike Tyson not in this?
jokebooks he gained and lost over 400 million dollars
Note, you don't see or hear of Ditka doing anything to help The Fridge and that guy helped make Ditka's reputation.
I just can't feel sorry for someone who makes hundreds of millions of dollars in a span of 10-15 years, then doesn't have the common sense to put some of it away and downsize after they retire.
Mark James I can't thumbs up you comment enough. ki
Mark James true
I’m so sad for these athletes...NOT! They made more in one year, then I did serving 29yrs, two wars, numerous Middle Eastern tours. 😢
Blah Blah Blah

I say get your body in shape...practice...workout and you to could become millionaires like them. Then you can dispell the rumors of such athletes :)
Texas 1814 - I protected this athletes for 30yrs. -Ret, USAF
SARGE - So did my dad. To the point of Asian Orange. He still doesn't complain about them and their decisions that have no bearing on him nor mankind. HOOAH
The free ride tuitions and no degrees may be a part of the problem.
deonal no they just spend it on hoes, drugs and buy stupid stuff they don't need
deonal there’s no other way. They could never pass
Antoine Walker had an entourage - a big entourage. He also built a 10-bathroom house for his mother in the Chicago suburbs.
His mother must have had a big ass
William Perry on a cane. Earl Campbell on a Walker. Brain Damaged . A part of Pro Football few ever see.
Never ending story....when will they learn ?
Yo, the part when Mike Tyson went to Holyfield door got me 😂😂😂
My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
taxes? I aint be gone pay no taxes!
This Why People Should Get Regular Jobs, These Jobs Are Only Temporary
Money was my drug.....also narcotics, that too
...ohoh, time to get a REAL job....nothing wrong with an unreal job, though, if you can get one like these guys had....getting paid to PLAY A GAME!!!!!.....WHAT A COUNTRY!!!!!!!....btw, yes, i do realize these guys are/were the best of the best, too.....easy come, easy go.....
Good for Vin, but few like him exist.
This is refreshing.
They've all read that MC Hammer book on how to manage your money😂
This is sad, but I don’t feel bad for any of them. They’ve lived a life that over 99% of the population will never get to even sample.
surprised holyfield is in this list
don't feel sorry for anyone of them.
Rules of money don't over spend and do not loan out money to friends
MC Hammer handed out money to his whole neighborhood. Is it wise(maybe not). He wasn't worried about that money because life is short(live it up)but stay saving
2:28 lol IM DEAD 💀
You write surprisingly well for a deceased.
Lenny Dykstra was an MLB icon of the 80's? When did this happen? Not in the 80's. L:enny Dykstra was a serviceable player but that's about it.
Save half your money in Government Bonds and S&P 500 Index fund. Don't let anyone touch it.
Pete Rose? Mike Tyson??
WesleyAPEX. Mike Tyson gained back his money now
Eleven kids from five different women? WTF man?????????? Anyway, keep your mouth shut about how much money you got or make. It seems like everybody's trying to work you from different angles to get into your pockets. Family is the worst. I am a merchant seaman and when I get off a ship I got everybody hitting me up.

Family are like vampire when it come to money
Damn, they didn’t set any money aside? Kinda sad
how can Delonte West be broke and his son(LEBRON )worth more than half a billion $$$? it's simple pick up the phone and call Gloria,get off the streets man, UNBELIEVABLE?
Evander never received that much money taxes and promoter percentages killed his wallet
All sounds alot. but its before taxes. so there goes half.
Half of 100 million is still 50 million. I'll take that.
half of what they make being taken away is still more than 99% of us will ever see in our lives.
OK. So you earn 100m. Fed's take half. You have 50 mil. You have to be a total asshole to be broke with 50 Mil after taxes. Tell everyone you know that is not in your immediate family good bye. Hire independent auditors every year. Live reasonably.

These overpaid divas still burn through a shitload of cash
Antoine walker gambled with Michael jordan. Lol jordan has shoe money to spend away while antoine gambled his life savings
Gambler's high is a hell of a drug. Especially when you're in on the action with Michael Jordan. Antoine flexed and in the end paid for his ego and bad choices/vices.
They don't have it all. They lack smarts. At least the ones who end up losing everything.
There is a theme here...
Latrell Sprewell turned down $17M for a 3yr deal saying “I got kids to feed.”
It was 21 million dollars not 17
How the “f” can you blow thru 230 million dollars?
My heart bleeds for them.........................NOT!
I only watch so I can feel better about my ....self
Off the field huh...
LOL...not one single fak is given.
Fak ?? What is fak ??
Don't censor yourself. Just say FUCK
@don wilson Don't preach to me about staying in my lane when you are doing that yourself. Hypocrite.
@don wilson Jesus Christ! What crawled up your ass? Go get a life. Seriously!
No Allen Iverson? Or how about Vince Young, who blew through $96 million in just 5 years?
And that money is already committed to pay off debt that the creditors have agreed to wait for payment on as it accrues interest.
Strict brief chair impressive spread regulate input jet contact.
Where Curt Schilling on this list? The crook.
Every single one of them
At least Bernie Kosar's daughter is a famous porn star. Seriously, look it up!

Who cares? They don't work for a living anyway

Where's JOE LOUIS?

joey dubbs76 five line minimum No one wants 2 read a book on line.
Its not school system, it starts at home. The family unit has been decimated .
joey dubbs76
Very well stated THERE
The only one I feel bad for is William Perry.
I once saw Delonte West in my local 7-11..he was weird
Raphael deLaghetto he might be broke, but at least he has all those cool tattoos to remind him of the glory days.
He needs to ask Lebron's mom for $$$
He has bipolar
Really hard to feel sorry for them. Bet hey I’m sure they had a great time while it lasted. No stop trying to relive your glory days and get a job like the rest of us.
I honestly want to see a list of athletes who DONT go broke.
They would all be White.
I Had A Bad Day 😅 I shouldn't have laughed at that.
that would be a nice change
I Had A Bad Day maybe "white status"? Like Jordan? Not that it is a bad thing.
The ones still on TV/movies. Shaq has tons of jobs. I would also say that Gina Carano went into acting after MMA and makes a ton of money too.
This Delonte West story is an understatement. I know someone who said that they saw him out in public and at first he thought that he was seeing things, but knew that it was West cause of the hair and he said that he was a weirdo and looked like he just took a hit of heroine from the back of an alley from somewhere.

Antoine Walker lost his money through bad investment. Hit him hard when the housing market went down
I don't feel bad for these fools at all! They had great oppertunity and they blew it. Sorry, but takes them back to the commoner side.

women will ruinned your life....never get married if you are rich my advice...date will benefit will be awesome
Is not hard to buy cosy house n live happy ever after? I wouldn’t know because I’m a knob
Holyfield should be ashamed of himself, 11 children with 5 different woman.
RICKY ROSAY/RICK ROSS got EVANDER'S mansion. AND ON GIVING MONEY!!!!!........i'll never give out more than i could afford to.....that'll never happen to me. They say never say NEVER............"NEVVVVVVVER!!!!
It’s hard for me to believe that Howard couldn’t offer Vin something better than a job making coffee. He made that owner millions. I would’ve taken that as an insult. 😒
Did I see LeBrons dad as the thumbnail?
Tyson? But he cane back
Praise is due to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
Glad to hear it, wasn't earned anyway playing kid games
To be fair they deserve it for being stupid like all these rappers that blow hundreds of thousands if not millions at strip clubs, on dozens of cars, on stupid ass jewelry so they wind up broke a few years later when fans move on
Every athlete that exists lost all their money because they never did and don't make anywhere near what the exaggerated bullshit claims
I really don’t feel bad because they don’t learn from others
Imagine meeting Vin Baker at Starbucks!
I read that wrong i thought it said "Lost their memory"
Lenny Dykstra... How's the slot?? How's the slot?? Those of you that listen to Howard Stern... Get it..
good things don't last forever.
Yes sirrr it happened
I live off $31,000 a year no problem
That's how much some men pay in child support. I pay $1,048 a month(241 a week)
What a waste.
NO tippin,from pippin.
Hu huuhu
Ybubyi
LeBron should support his dad :(
Michael he doesn't know his d... oh you fool
Bare, you missed the joke lol
