Malik Beasley just got evicted from his apartment after being sued twice for failing to pay rent. He made 60 million dollars playing in the NBA. Now he’s being investigated by the FBI for sports betting and is homeless. It’s shocking to me that someone could make 8 figures and still not own a house and have enough invested to set them up for life. These players need a finance guru.
Well, it's worth noting that he's far from the only NBA player facing such problems. The stories of Antoine Walker and Delonte West are no better.
By the way, I once came across information that approximately 60% of NBA players go bankrupt or experience financial difficulties within five years after the end of their careers.
