I swear to God if I ever got my hands on millions, nikkas would NEVER see me again. That's how 99% of them go broke. Nikkas bleeding them dry and nikkas being too puzzy to say no.
what does being p*ssy got to do with it? You don't want to live in a shythole, why would you want your people to? If you move them out the shythole, they need to maintain their new lifestyle. If they had that kinda part, they wouldn't be in a shythole. That means you got to upkeep.

I read this book. The guy was a regular employee, not a manager. He even wound up with a baby mama, a professional woman who didn't know he was working at Starbucks.

In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill had it all: a mansion in the suburbs, a wife and loving children, a six-figure salary, and an Ivy League education. But in a few short years, he lost his job, got divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. With no money or health insurance, he was forced to get a job at Starbucks. Having gone from power lunches to scrubbing toilets, from being served to serving, Michael was a true fish out of water.

I remember going to his restaurant it was nice, had good food and everything. Wanted to go back a year later and it was closed. He defaulted on loans due to his drinking problems. They used to call him Vin & Tonic :mjlol:.:mindblown: Damn blowing thru all that money is tough :mjcry:. Good he got his life together, hope everything works out for him.
Vin & Tonic :mjlol:
But :dahell: was Vin getting drunk and burning $100 bills? How does getting drunk=defaulting on loans?

Pathetic chumps in here defending this retarded nikka blowing away 100 milly.

If this nikka had 50 milly in the bank he would have AT LEAST 3 million dollars of interest to live off in a year.

Now let's take it down to 20 million in the bank, he'd still have 1,200,000 to live off in a year.

PATHETIC.
How are you calculating the interest?

Media loves these stories of black athletes losing money. Yet when these dudes invest wisely and make there money grow the media damn near refuses to even make an article on their business smarts.

Or the media bytches because they are such cut throat business men or are cheap with their money.

Athletes who lose it on drinks or drugs :francis:
He was nice on courtside 2 for N64 along wit brent barry splashin 3's then The Glove :whew:
Wonder why the media focus on the negative "broke" blk athletes :mjpls:
You never hear about the ones who franchise BK,Mcdonald etc or own 5 used car lots

Make a thread brehs :yeshrug:

It's not hard to imagine how he lost it. Gov. is going to take half in taxes. He probably bought a ton of cars, a big house with very expensive maintenance and upkeep and he 'helped out' a lot of his homeboys and family. Let's not get into all of the women he probably slept with, and it only takes you impregnating a couple for them to completely tax your bank account via child support. Tyson lost most of his fortune, as did Holyfield.

Very true. You got to put a large amount of money aside. Like where you can't touch it till you 50.

Live on a budget too. These cats don't have one. Get rid of family and friends. Sounds fukked up but you only hook up the people who were truly with you in the beginning. Even then you don't give them millions. Pay off their bills up to a certain about and call it a day.

I think a player from the cowboys had to do that. His first contract was almost fine due to family.

The ones that follow that formula have succeed in not being broke. Barry Sanders retired early and ain't bankrupt.

Tyron Smith actually had to get a restraining order against his family due to them hounding him.

My homie got a cousin who won 8 mil in the lotto a decade ago. He lost it all and is now a small time hustla sellin 20 sacks, but he seems happier now than when he had millions. When he had all that money, nikkaz would always beg and hound him.

The first day he lost it all, I sensed a sigh of relief in him. He called up one of the young hustlaz who used to idolize him when he was gettin big money in them streets. He hooked him up wit a lil corner and man, the glee in his face was immeasurable. When cops would come on the block, he would run with the biggest smile on his face like :gladbron: .

:laff:
