This includes college and pro career.

Think like Doctors, lawyers, owner of a large business, etc.

Example: Not LSU, but former nba player Vinnie Johnson made only $5 million in the nba over 10 seasons then turned that into a multi-billion dollar automobile company after his career.

At some point, Shaq will be better known for his NBA commentary career than his playing career, which is pretty unbelievable.

Kurt ainsworth must’ve done pretty good with marucci. I read they sold for 200 million and he’s still on as CEO.

Shaq has to be the top dude, but Brandon Landry seems to be doing alright.

A guy named Ed Orgeron started out at LSU before finishing elsewhere. He won a national title as a HC and retired as a multimillionaire.

Not the most successful, but John Ed Bradley has done pretty well for himself post LSU.

I’d imagine Ben Bordelon has a nice chunck of change being the heir and CEO Bollinger Shipyards.

Tommy Banks is practicing medicine these days, IIRC.

He was the second coming when I was a kid in West Monroe in the early 90's.
