GQ Video: How Justin Jefferson Spent His First $1M In The NFL

I would have skipped the Benz and the jewelry and dropped 600k in the house but to each his own

Will be broke one day

Sounds unwise but it's less than 10% of his contract and he can cash in the house.

should have bought doge

"I'm not a big jewelry guy." Spends 50K on jewelry.

It seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and is listening to his financial advisor. I was expecting much worse tbh. Good for j jetts

I would’ve bought a bunch of land and a new bass boat. Then I would’ve taken the rest to my financial advisor. But I guess we’re a little different.

I’d spend at least $1M on cars, so enjoy yourself Justin.

Love JJ but dude has to be smarter than that.

How much does it cost him, monthly, to feed Jordan?

Bunch of figs in this thread. He got a 7 million dollar signing bonus. Typical rule of thumb for people coming into new money is to take 10% and go buy what every you want to get the spending out of your system. 700k is 10%. Seems like he is listening to his finance advisors. Seems he has a good head in his shoulders.

That is the most embarrassing, humiliating, ridiculous image I’ve ever seen. What an absolutely horrible example to set. Really disappointed in J.J. Such a terrible example. Embarrassed for the school and the team.

Some wise investments for the most part. Good job man.

Dude! these people offended like he’s their kid or something, let him spend his money how he wants

There are some serious idiots in this thread if they think this kid “wasted” his money. 455 went to BUYING AND FURNISHING HIS HOUSE! Fat asses on here need to calculate their food and beer budget and see if it comes to higher percentage than his “shoes and jeweler spend”. That was his FIRST million and not his whole freaking signing bonus. Like he said, he didn’t touch any of his game checks which was (3.2 + 7.2) - .5 for taxes and agent fees = banking about 4.5MM. 4.5 X .1% conservative growth = 4.9 MM banked. Dude will NEVER touch his game checks if he keeps his spend consistent. Really simple.

He didn’t do badly overall for a guy that’s likely going to make over 100 mil in his career. Some of you guys are acting like he was a UDFA that makes league minimum.

His most valued possessions appear to be the love he receives from his family and the community, who include us bloggers, as well. He seems happy to play football. What is the definition of success? Happiness! Seems like he has a lot of it. Who cares what he does with his money. He is successful and he sacrificed for his state flagship university, LSU and represents Louisiana well. Only kudos for him! Anybody hating on him or ridiculing him should take a hard look in the mirror.

If NFL football was not entertainment, not many of us would watch it. He is an NFL’er, which makes him an entertainer, as well.
