Shaquille O'Neal reveals he expects to receive $1,000,000 a month from annuities when he turns 55
“I would always see this filthy rich guy. I'm talking rich, Four Seasons, Rolls-Royce”
“I asked him, I was like, ‘How do you stay rich?’”
“He said, ‘Shaq, if you have $100, you want to save $50 but if you want to be wealthy, you play with $25 and you save $75’”
“So after I heard him say that, I would start to get endorsement checks and not even turn them in”
“I had so much money coming in, I put a lot into annuities”
“Next year I get a lot, almost for the rest of my life. So 55, 60, and 65. That was my failproof, just in case the investments don't work and this and that”
“I don't like to brag but I think at 55 I'll probably get $1,000,000 a month”

Davante Adams says he’s made $200,000,000 just in NFL earnings and estimates he’s only spent about 1% of it, and says he’s saved or invested the rest
“Well, brother, I made $200 million now. That’s why you see this, and I’m a little more comfortable now doing it than what I was then. I still now, if I go get myself a new watch or something like that, I still cringe doing that. I don’t like seeing that much money leave.”
“But it depends on what it’s spent on. If it’s a timepiece like this, if I wanted to go sell this right now, I’m making money right now.”
“Exactly. So I’ve come to spend more money when it’s money in the bank. I’ve spent maybe 1% of the money that I’ve made in the league. Like, I’ve spent it. I’ve saved everything.”
“I don’t spend a lot of money. I make enough. I’ve been blessed to play receiver, where you bring in some stuff off. I’ve been able to kind of just stack.”
“So that makes me feel a little bit more comfortable when I decide to do something.”
“Pretty much he doesn’t have someone eating off of him everytime he gets paid. He pays people when it's time to pay them.” 🧠
Caleb Williams, who signed a fully guaranteed 4-year, $39.49 million rookie contract with the Bears, explains why he entered the NFL Draft without an agent: “I have five lawyers”
“No matter how many games you win, no matter how good you are, no matter all of that, the NFL is still put together as a business, and so am I”
“I don’t have an agent. I have other things in place. I have my lawyers. I have my attorneys. I have my financial advisor. I have my accountants. I have my marketing. I have my PR and crisis. I have it all. It’s just the label of an agent is not there”
“I have people in place and work delegated to certain positions and people and things like that. I have five lawyers actually. I know what I have and I know who I’m paying. I have people in place to handle things the way they need to and things like that”

27 years ago today, we lost my dad.
Sweetness. The man whose smile could light up a whole city and whose heart never stopped running. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him.
What keeps me going is seeing how much you all still love him. The stories, the memories, the way you keep his name and spirit alive… it means everything to our family.
Thank you for never forgetting him. Thank you for carrying his legacy with us all these years.
We’re good down here, Pop. The family’s strong, and your Sweetness lives on in every person you touched.

POWERFUL: #Saints star WR Chris Olave has a message for the fans mocking him for wearing a Guardian Cap.
“I put it on for my kids, to protect my brain and my future.”
Olave does not care about the criticism he has received from fans for wearing it.
👏👏

Watched this multiple times. Kenneth Walker. This guy is a professional football player, Super Bowl champion & Super Bowl MVP, just went 60+ yards on MNF for the TD.
Still listening, eye contact and obviously coachable.
