His base salary with Rams was turned into roughly 11.66 bitcoin when it was at $64k a coin. It’s now at $83.5k. Hopefully he held onto it when it went to shite in 2022.

Headed to the 49ers probably. Their receivers are dropping like flies every week

Celebrity Net Worth says he's still worth $20 million. Even with the high cost of living and taxes for most of his career in NY and Los Angeles, I think he'll be alright.

He has (had?) the highest social media following of anyone in the NFL. One of the most marketable guys in football, which I hear is good for your bottom line.

He’s 33 and I can’t see him getting into traditional media.

and continued to live lifestyle as if though he was bringing in $20m annually.

I don’t think he did. I saw an interview with him about a year ago, and he spoke about general aviation, which is the measure of real wealth. He said, “I fly GA most of the time domestically, but not internationally because that costs too much.”

When I heard that I thought it appropriate for someone in the $50 million to $100 million net worth range. If he was making $20 million annually he could easily afford to fly GA internationally.

Based on what I heard in that interview, Odell probably has at least $50 million stashed. And that will yield about $2 million annually in sustainable inflation-adjusted income. He’ll have to pay a little in taxes, but I’d guess only about 10%. That gives him $1.8 million per year in after tax income. I think he’s okay unless he loses his mind (or I’m way wrong in what I inferred).

He definitely had his moments but I have to remember he’s 13 years removed from LSU. He’s on older side

I’m not sure this means what you think it means. All Business jets are considered General Aviation. For instance, the smallest NetJet card is a 25 hour commitment that costs in the range of $215K to $400K. Taking the absolute smallest jet they have from New York to New Orleans, one-way, would cost about $16,000, depending on winds aloft.

Hope he's not going to be in that 60% of athletes who are broke after their playing days.


If it's true he got paid part of his rookie salary in BTC, I think he is doing fine.
