Don't get me wrong, if I was making millions a year I would have nice clothes, a nice car or two, and probably more than one house. But I wouldn't be ridiculous about it. These guys have no clue how to live within their means, despite their means being incredibly extensive compared to the rest of the world.

I believe all 4 major US sports have financial counseling available, too. I guess most of these guys didn't hear that memo because the sound system in their $250,000 car was playing too loudly.
