You dont lose $60 million with a few cars and making it rain... the reason why rich people still borrow is because the rate of interest they accumulate on their money far exceeds the what they'd have to pay for the item... if they bought it outright then they'd be eating into their funds... so by borrowing their funds stay the same and the interest accumlated on their savings pay it off each month stop hating - start learning |

In the old days there were so many stories, films too, all well documented too, about Arab sheiks, when they so suddenly became wealthy used to have cartons full of bills under their divans, which, when they went to look at them, they were mostly rotted away to uselessness. There are those still alive who recall the days when the Emir Abdullah, of Trans-Jordan, a British Protectorate, got his yearly payoff from Britain, it was paid in camel loads of gold coins only. He had no oil discoveries in TransJordan. I've seen movie pictures of these very same camel trips, on the old Movietone News reports. I was recently reading a story of a well known wrestler (was it Rick Savage, I'm not sure) who buried over $500,000 in bills in a can in his garden earned during his wrestling days, and when at age 60, he dug it up, it was all rotted away, useless. I now remember this was in the context of a story about Rocky Marciano, who was money crazy, and didn't trust banks, but buried a reputed $4 million in his property somewhere. Having been killed unexpectedly aged about only 44-45, it was never found, and there are still periodic "expeditions" trying to find it. The story was about whether his reputed connections with the Mafia were true of false, and exposed that the Cessna plane in which he crashed, was owned and piloted by his friend the son of a big Mafia Don whose name was I think (not sure) Fallone, or something like that. He had cashed in his regular flight ticket because he could get the free ride. That's how it all happened. Off the track of the topic I suppose, but some might find it interesting. I did, so I'm sharing it. |

"no money" is on the verge of bankruptcy, that's why he is back in the ring
When he is no longer able to physically fight, he will become broke, not like if you or me went broke but he will not have the mansions or the cars, he'll just live off his past fame, a slightly upper-middle class life style. He'll never be completly broke in the age of reality tv. Wouldn't be the first professional athlete to go broke either; Holyfield, Tyson, Douglas, Bowe, Toney, Briggs.... f*ck it, almost every boxer goes broke and more than half all pro athletes in the NFL, NBA, and MLB file for bankruptcy (there was an SI article about it, google that junks, very interesting). Color doesn't really play a factor, it's the socio-economic level and education level prior to becoming rich is what plays the biggest factor. No Money is not very educated and has very bad role models in his life (crackhead dad and uncle just to start) so he never learned and will never learn how to manage money. He will be broke. |
