    Is Hopkins Lonely?

    I was reading an interview where Hopkins discusses his financial situation

    He's apparently quite well off, he lives off interest and rental income from properties he owns

    But one thing got me, he said he moved to Delaware for the lower tax rates - Doesn't seem like the action of a man with a large social circle

    And then I thought Hopkins doesn't have a wife or kids either and he's near 50

    Possibly why he's so good with money, he's not surrounded by leaches and why he's still in boxing at 49, he's got nothing else going on in his life

    I feel for the guy

    Hopkin is married man. I think he has a daughter too. Not every fighter wants their family all over TV.

      That's surprising, I could do without seeing Tim Bradley's whale every fight

      Made me think it was the standard

          I'm sure he will be plenty busy after boxing

              He is married and has three daughters. I read that Hopkins is a practicing ****** and rejects alcohol, ******** and the night life. Thats probably the reason why he is so well off.

                  Quite the contrary. The boxers who live at the strip club and have a big entourage of pay-me-to-like-yous tagging along seem lonely with low self-esteem.

                  A guy who moves to a state for tax reasons and just stays home with his family is just normal.

                    Keep something in mind OP, most people who have things will declare a personal residence. If that residence is substantial....Well I will use myself as an example, I have a place that I declare as a residence in San Francisco. If I sold that place tomorrow at around 2 million dollars when it was reassesed for property taxes that person would be paying around 2k a month in property taxes....In Jersey? or Maryland? that person? it would cost them more than twice as much....around 4k a month.

                    Lets imagine Hopkins place is worth more than mine....Prolly so!! Delaware has low property taxes and even Hopkins probably does not want to pay around 8k a month in property taxes....People do the same thing on the West coast. If you want a mansion? you go to Nevada and pay very little in taxes.

                    Also, keep in mind that inheritance taxes which are a patent rip off in Maryland are substantial! Delaware is starting to look pretty good about now you think?

                    Just because one declares their residence in a state does not mean they must live there. Hopkins can own property and live in Philly, me? I have a place in Baltimore. Hopkins probably has an apartment in Philly.

                    Its not happanstanz that the great Warren Buffet has as his residence, the place he grew up, a modest home in a working class neighborhood in Omaha Nebraska.

                    Make sense now?
