Most pro athletes and people that come into money quick become stupid and broke in 5 years. they can't budget their money and just assume money will keep rolling in and they spend like crazy.
Maybe if he wasnt such a self centered dick he would have friends. My guess is he was such a prick people only wanted to hang out with him because he would buy them drinks and food, then once he is poor, hes worthless.
This happened to a friend of mine in LA. He sold his business and made over $1.5mm. After taxes, fees, etc., he came out with over $800k. Not bad, but what he did was go buy a brand new Range Rover, new apartment (lease) in Manhattan beach and would get bottle service all the time at the clubs. He called me one night bragging that he spent $5,000 on a bar tab in Vegas.
Just over two years later hes broke and living on a friends couch with no money and cant find a job
