Odell Beckham Jr. Says Having $100M Contracts Is A Struggle, 'Money Doesn't Last Forever'

moron. As a player, you should KNOW your playing days are limited and the flow of money will stop soon. So, if you net $60 million after taxes, be smart enough to hire Goldman Sachs or a reputable financial advisor to invest your money and advise you on how much you can spend along the way. It's actually very simple, for anyone with an ounce of intelligence and self control.

What a dumbass. You can make $1,000,000 last forever with about 30 minutes of research on low risk investing.

He obviously didn’t pay attention like most of them when they bring these new NFLers in for the risks and pitfalls of elaborate spending lifestyles.

Say he blew through 20 of his 60. At 5%, that's $2million. Take out 40% for taxes, that's $1,200,000 that he can freely spend, per year. That's over $23,000 per week. I could squeak by on that.

Idiot. Another 30 for 30 episode. Many of us spend an entire working career hoping to set aside a fraction of that amount of money for retirement. I remember his shoes, jewelry, etc. Another Andre “Bad Moon” Rison.

Poor guy. He should start a Go Fund Me.

The NFLPA literally forces rookies to sit thru classes that explain this. He may just be an idiot.

and says the guy whipping out cash money to LSU players after the national championship lmao

Yea - it actually would if you don't do shite like flaunt it.

Did he learn nothing from MC Hammer?

Cry me a fricking river.

Oh STFU Odell. At least you had a shot at it.

N ot F or L ong

Welcome to the Republican Party

It always amuse me when millionaire athletes cry poverty after they piss away their fortunes. Maybe you shouldn't Sprewell your money down the toilet, jackass.

I’d like to see more than just this clip for context. Because I’m pretty sure Odell is saying he’s doing ok, but some other guys blew their money and he understands how. I remember that he took salary as bitcoin a few years ago and saw something he posted on social media saying he did good with that investment.

What a DA. 96% of the population lives on tremendously less than that. Give me one years worth of that and I’m set for life while very comfortable. Proper investing and being financially responsible will go a long ways.

LSU isn’t known for their academic glory. I doubt ODB was hitting the investments courses at the business school. He’s diving payday loans to the unemployed.

I bet Pat Mahomes could make $100M last. I wonder what the difference is?

Very common story. There was a 30 for 30 about it. I thought the most ironic was Bernie Kosar who had a masters in economics from Miami and had to file bankruptcy.
