And I don't know about millions....
He's been a top pro for 20 years now. You don't think he's averaged at least $100k/yr? That alone would be $2m.
guess that makes most the people i know millonaires... you really come up with some out of touch shit man. guess that's what happens when a broke ass fool talks about money.
150k a year is middle class suburbs living, 100k is barely making it with a family. this is why you have some many double income families these days because one person generally makes 80-100k and the other makesthe 50-80k. 100k isn't the kind of cash that makes one wealthy, it's the kind of cash that lets you have decent cars, live in a decent neighborhood, buy electronics, shop at whole foods, have new clothes and take an annual vacation. it barely puts you in the investment income range and that's really only if you bugget like a mother fucker, eat mostly caserol dishes and drink cheap booze.
add to this that most pro careers end in the early to mid 30s, it's not a wealthy type lifestyle. this is why people like pops go broke the same month that they loose sponsors. it's because you have uneducated guys who got what seems like a lot of cash at a young age and it fucks up their perspective and financial sense. they live in the most expesive areas of the country and spend tons of cash on partying. if you get 15 years at 100k, you need to live off 50k and invest really smart if you really want to not have to get a real job as some point. living in ny or sf and blowing all your cash on rent, drugs and art isn't the kind of thing you can do on 50k a year. but these guys instead live check to check thinking that they have endless earning potential.
you want to know who won't be broke when the game is up? westgate. check his epicly later'd. guys living a normal middle class life and not trying to front like a rock star. daniel henney had a short ass career and a kooky as he may be, that dude retired from his career because he was frugal and smart with is money and lived in cheaper areas of the country.
fuck, hammer went broke in a year after making 50 million. no amount of money makes up for stupidity.
