check

, Klay Thompson was one of the best catch-and-shoot scores in the league, he's been making waves throughout Over the years being a part of the Warriors' historic run and recently signed a five-year, $190 million contract, but recently he sat down and talked about his monetary situation, saying that it doesn't matter how much he earns today and that They will always remember when he

bought

with his first paycheck in 2011, the Warriors selected clay with the 11th pick, where he ultimately earned a little over two million dollars.

Well, Clay was asked about his first NBA check, which was $35,000, and he said it was incredible. Clay even said that if there was more money than he could ever imagine, the first item Clay bought was a pool table and when asked about he said I still have that to this day Clay also talked about the fact that his taste cheap it's pretty easy to transition into leadership said it's not like money makes me happier it's always great to see that check game but I live like that great life at the time my eleven hundred a month stipend went that far he could talk all he wanted about DeMars he could go to Target have a field day even after winning three NBA championships he still doesn't have expensive taste he talked about it saying I'm pretty simple my tastes aren't that extravagant clay also talked about a money regret he had when he got his first money he said that he went out and bought a lot of clothes to match the NBA style, but he admitted that it was a stupid decision, he only said that he would only wear about 5% of the closet, but there is no Only one recent purchase that Clay has made that he said he doesn't regret at all was a new boat, he talked about why you bought it and said: I know I'm going to take advantage of it because the water brings me peace and also , with my base I'll be able to take the kids and go fishing, which is really cool.

For me, well, it's not a mentality, you have relationships and experiences around you, those are priceless, it's better than any car or big house you can get and with Mari Stottlemyre he spent fifteen seasons in the NBA playing for many teams, nothing It was as unforgettable as his. This time in Phoenix, where he was drafted in 2002, I played for many successful years right after he was selected with the 9th pick, he made a lot of money before playing a single game, but he spent almost all of this first check in a few weeks . I received that first check, I saw the zeros, this for about 300,000.

I thought, man, this is like the Richie Rich movie, you wake up and now you're rich. Stottlemyre was excited about money, so he decided to splurge and some gifts for himself and his family in Edition to get him new clothes and jewelry, a truck and a nice apartment, he bought his mom her first house, he took his brother to go Shopping. I talked about buying for his family when he said: when you see the tears in your mother's eyes and the joy on your brother's face those moments only happen once in a lifetime but he obviously learned by turning so much at once a maturity, I talked on the importance of saving saying you say correctly you could live off your interest keeps you out of pocket spend your itch money right before you spend your real money with andre igudala is becoming known for his time in golden state he also played for many organizations throughout his career, he was initially selected with the ninth pick in the 2004 draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and his first NBA contract was for four years worth nine million dollars.

You can often talk about how he never thought or planned to make it to the league and that it was something that just happened and he was okay with it recently. Andre sat down. He sat down and talked about

what

he bought with his first NBA check and he was talking to Rich Simple, which is an online investment service. Andre said he had no idea he could make it to the NBA. I mean, Iggy was explaining all the money he received. At a young age he said that he was not thinking about money, the car is jewelry.

He had never seen that before, so he wasn't looking for it. I just enjoyed playing basketball, worked my way up over the summer and right before the draft to get advances on trading cards and advances on a shoe deal. I remember a loan agency floated me until I got advances, sent me a check for $25,000 now when the first thing he bought arrived when he got his first check, Andre explained that he had to I wrote to Nike Town and said a bunch of Jordan pairs. I spent like 2 or 3 grand and I felt like I spent a million dollars.

I didn't know how to spend the money. Andre ended his comments by encouraging people to take care of his wallets. In saying that I have been able to meet interesting people who have helped me and in turn I want to help my fellow NBA

players

and Andre also said that he wants to give our

players

many options after retirement because there are many, many years to live . When you're not playing now, Chris Paul has been a starting point guard for the past 15 seasons and he's also accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars, but he's always kept a good mindset about his money and talked about how in 2005, when he was a student at sophomore at Wake Forest declared for the NBA Draft and his agency offered him $100,000 up front, but his parents, who were very smart with their money, knew that a 21-year-old would spend that money quickly, so they insisted that 25,000 would be fine.

Chris said now. with CNBC they talk about the day he received his first check, they say that I was the day my life changed. I took my girlfriend, my best friend, his girlfriend, we went to the mall, we went to a couple of stores and other it's like just buying something. There's no sense of that because we used to have double dates at TGI Fridays and when they came with the bill we were like two bills, please, you know me and my girl, him and his girl that day and since then it's been one. Bill Chris also talked about the conversation he had with his mom after receiving his first check and said my mom called me.

I was like kid, you used that credit card, but I was like I'm not a mom. I just never liked the premise of having a credit card. card and being able to spend money that you don't have on my debit card, so I just like spending money that I knew I had, which is my mom's, tell me no credit is bad credit. I started like credit cards this day. They are not cheap but they are frugal so I am very conscious of everything that is spent money on. Look at Don, she is quickly becoming a star in the league she has been playing professionally in for years, even before making it to the NBA.

Luca was paid and played basketball professionally in Europe before coming to the NBA playing basketball, specifically coming to the United States to play the NBA was her priority. Luca always liked cars and always wanted exotic cars, especially a Lamborghini or McLaren, but recently he talked about how he definitely needed a Porsche, is what Luca said, that has been my dream car since I was young. With some of his first checks that Luca received from his teams abroad, cashed on some websites, he obtained a customized electric blue Porsche Panamera that he himself claimed is the most beautiful car in the world, I mean the big one, a blue unique with black rims, not really unique, however, the funny thing is that Orlando big man Nicola Vukovich and Luca were friends for a while and just before Luca. was drafted into the league Vukovich tweeted at Lucas telling him he had come to Orlando.

I can't help you with Jennifer Anniston, but you could drive my 911 every day knowing that was the girl of his dreams and the car of his dreams, you can easily tell that Lucas is obsessed with Porsches: he has been seen with three different versions of that car, of course, has the electric blue Panamera version, but it also recently copied a red Porsche 911 Turbo with black wheels. We're even looking outside of the custom exhaust system, but Lucas. He's also been seen owning a black version of the Porsche Panamera and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on Justice dream cars, but right after signing his contract with the Mavericks, he looked at his side of the loot again, this time purchasing an Audi a7 cherry red.

Outside the lot of an Audi dealership in Dallas, Luca posted a photo of him in front of the car with the caption saying thanks for coming out and reportedly paid seventy thousand dollars for the car, making it the cheapest when he owns it. but still different from the rest. was surprised to become one of the richest athletes in history, you would be surprised to know that he got to this point after what he did as soon as he received his first big payday in 1992, after being selected with the number one pick by Orlando Magic. Immediately after signing a million-dollar endorsement deal with the trading card company, at the time just 20 years old, he made a financial mistake that ended up forever changing the way he handled his money for the rest of his life. career, Jack told the story to Business Insider.

Saying it was me being too happy/irresponsible, my agent called me and said, hey, you have a million dollars, so I went to the Mercedes dealership, the guy says 150,000. I'll write you a check and give it to you now in my head. million-150,000 I still have 850 thousand left, so I come home, my father says he is good, where is my network? I will go buy the same car for my father. I'm fine, I have 700 thousand left, so now I have to go do everything. friends have to go buy rings and diamonds and earrings and this and that a couple of days later my bank manager called me and sat me down and said, I've been following you for two or three years.

I love your career. You are probably I will be a fabulous player and I will win a lot of money, but you know that many of you when you finish playing you have nothing. I want you to take a look at this. I had between fifty and sixty thousand dollars in the hole. I was just writing checks, I was buying TVs, I just bought things I didn't even need, so after that I said, you know what you want, you need to give me a business manager. Fortunately, I had many difficult lessons early on. From a guy who idolized the best two shots in a row, even if it's a free throw, an experience like this is exactly why he's also pushing the financial responsibility of his six children during a segment on The Ellen Show.

O'Neal actually talked about the rules that he currently has a rule for his children and goes on to say that our most famous rule is that to touch any of my cheeses, you have to present me with two titles. That father is very successful, so as a father, I will not give them handouts. They have to obtain a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. Shank knows that his level of success cannot be obtained easily, but he spoke about recent information that he obtained from Jeff Bezos that quadrupled his net worth and a recent interview with The Wall Street.

The O'Neal newspaper said that I heard Jeff Bezos once say that he makes his investments based on whether it will change people's lives. Once I started doing that strategy, I think I probably quadrupled what I was worth over his 19-year NBA career. O'Neal accumulated around $300 million, but he didn't just spend all that on ridiculous things he didn't need, he used it to invest in many opportunities that had nothing to do with basketball. You invested money in things like Google and Apple, some Las Vegas nightclubs and fast food restaurants, like five guys drinking tea, Papa John's Krispy Kreme and more, becoming a billionaire instead of just another athlete who went broke.

I was Iron Williamson, one of the biggest young names in the NBA. He says Kobe and LeBron definitely have a lot to live up to starting here in their rookie season after being selected with the first pick in 2019 by the Pelicans. Zion instantly signed a two-year, twenty million dollar contract with them and also managed to sign. a massive five-year, seventy-five million dollar deal with Jordan Brand that practically guarantees him an exclusive shoe as well, but shortly after receiving his first check, time ran out and he bought his brother a completely new 2019 Jeep Wrangler. loaded, which was set to take the Dreamworks Motorsports or many other famous athletes choose to do the job of the car.

DreamWorks did some work on the car amplifying the engine and internal parts, as well as painting the Jeep in metallic gray adding a premium sound system. They also raised the Jeep a few inches. and put custom rims and wheels on it, the price of a new Jeep Wrangler is around thirty thousand dollars and at least ten thousand dollars in cosmetics and performance parts were added. I recently moved to New Orleans and found myself with millions of dollarsneeded to buy a new place and remember this was because Iowa will potentially purchase former NBA Senator Greg Monroe's home that was for sale, this purchase by Monroe for eight hundred and thirty-seven thousand in 2013 and was recently listed for eight hundred and seventy-four thousand five bedroom, five and a half bathroom house is located in the country club in BG beautiful views the house has very high ceilings perfect for a player the size of Zion and the main level the house has a study of career with hardwood floors and open space living room includes a kitchen with island wet bar and pantry.
