    To Joe Average being broke means choosing two from food, rent and heating. To someone who's used to being supremely wealthy it's having to fly first class instead of private jet.

    was never a billionaire. not once has he came close.

    you know he came back from his first retirement because he got scammed, right? actually hardly anyone does. haha.

    dude got scammed 9 million bucks by some random flashy individual. that was basically all of his liquid money.

    and no, 300m paydays do not mean take home.
    there is this thing called tax, which in that bracket, darn near 50% is taken. tax on properties, vehicles etc i can go on. this is all before we even get into what Haymon and Ellerbe made. half dollar nostrils and Haymon are quite intelligent, 1000% sure they sonned Floyd financially.

    i would be legit shocked if he had a solid 200m liquid at any point in his life
