How Portland Trail Blazer Scoot Henderson Spent His First $1M | My First Million | GQ Sports

[@q.s.9810]

So out of his first million he splurged 70K, 20K of that being for his family, bought a house, invested over 100k in his famly business, and STILL managed to save more than half a million? he got my respect

[@felipebrunetta2106]

Financial literacy is such a beautiful thing

[@MrNawfsideVet]

he didnt pay taxes thats why lol

[@KillasStayFly]

@@MrNawfsideVet he made more than a million between gleague puma and other investments lol why would they make a video about grossing 1m

[@gsp3428]

spending 50k on clothes is way too much for your first million. He will be super rich and can afford it. But I wouldnt call that financial literacy. I think the athletes like Saquon Barkley who put literally everything into the bank and live off endorsements are the real smart ones.
