Earned $110 Million and broke at age 33

[Monello]

He has come to explain how he squandered his fortune and his reputation at warp speed.

"When you make the kind of money that I've been able to make throughout my career, it should last you forever," Walker said softly.

It's difficult to say what disappeared more quickly: Antoine Walker's extraordinary basketball skills or the $110 million he earned in 13 NBA seasons.

$110 million is nothing nowadays. I could see someone spending that in a weekend.

Why is this "new" news? That subject ran on OTL late last month...

I caught an interview of a black athlete (I think football - ok I'm not sport focused) and the guy was wearing at least a 5 karat diamond on each EAR! I'll assume this isn't something most guys wouldn't notice but those rocks had to have cost 50-500K for ONE (depending on the quality). So yeah you can blow through $110M if you waste your money on the mansion/car/bling designer suits/shoes, not to mention the super model gf and entourage.
I hope he at least bought his momma a house so he can move into the basement.

OMG NO WAY!!

Did they give an adress or a paypal account so we can help this poor soul make it?

Oh the humanity.. where's the compassion!??

So, tell me again, WHY is this news?? WHY should we care? He was/is a moron. He made more than most of would make if we lived 10 lives, and now he's broke.. F'em. Maybe the homeless will let him sleep under the nice bridge.
