After couple of houses, a few cars, clothes, jewelry, trips, not just for yourself but friends, family, entourage, plus still paying an agent, I'd be shocked if JR has anywhere near 10 million in his bank accounts at this point, and say it's probably less than 5.
No argument there. And the pic you posted earlier says it all. There's a good chance that this is going to be a pretty sad story in a few years.

And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge JR fan. I think he's the best LSU QB I've ever seen, and wish nothing but the best for him.
I don't even think he's the bust that everyone makes him out to be. He had a solid 2nd year (really his first full season), which led some to consider the Raiders a possible darkhorse team to make a playoff push at the beginning of last year.
Of course, last year the wheels fell off and JR regressed way beyond the point of the usual sophomore slump.
But it didn't help that the Raiders threw away a top 10 1st round pick on a WR projected as a second rounder.
I truly think JR can still be a good pro, but he has to find the right fit. I hope he gets a shot with a legit QB coach with a team that can let him sit for a year or two and watch a vet QB.
