Why NBA Athletes Go Broke | Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro was one of the guests on GQ Sports' show How I Spent My First Million which allows an athlete to share how they spent their first million dollars after getting drafted.
Tyler spent money on a purse for his mom, two cars for himself, a car for his dad, and plenty of accessory expenses.
It's cliche that many professional athletes go broke and this episode sums it up pretty easily. Within 6 months of entering into the NBA, Tyler had already spent half a million dollars on items that are liabilities and would not be generating any money.
Professional athletes go broke for many reasons and spending money recklessly when thinking a second payday is guaranteed is one of the main reasons. Tyler isn't married which is generally the #1 reason why professional athletes go broke.
The video only set aside $400k for taxes, investments, and savings. Based on his base salary of $3.6 million, Tyler would probably spend at least $1.5 million on taxes, agents, lawyer, accountant, manager, chef, etc. which isn't accounted for if they are only setting aside $400k for taxes, investments, and savings.
This video will provide you with a general idea of personal finance and how to invest for beginners.

I worked in sports media for years and met a ton of former pro players in multiple sports. They all thought they were going to be set up for life and almost all of them blew it. It’s brutal. It’s a borderline crime that the leagues don’t force players to go through training on how to spend their money intelligently.

[@neptuneniq]

they do actually. NBA has seminars for rookies before they even play about financial literacy. they even have vets who lost money speak to them. unfortunately, it goes past their heads.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Do you know how James Edwards blew his millions? I saw in a local story in 2003, that "his millions are gone," and that he relies on his $80,000 annual pension from the NBA.

[@anvilinparachuteproduction2027]

All leagues have some kind of course teaching athletes how to manage their money. It's interesting this wasn't mentioned in the video

[@Timmyboy505]

Why should the leagues offer this? It’s the player’s responsibility to ensure he is on top of his money

[@Chris-fo9rf]

I believe Shaq described it best. A young guy who doesn’t come from money or isn’t financially savvy, gets a contract for tens of millions getting paid (let’s just say $25million) over 5 years. Many pro athletes only see the total package ($25million contracted value), not its annualized value. So they live like they’re making $25m/yr, not $5m/yr.

I remember as a kid I'd calculate my parents finances and wonder how they lived paycheck to paycheck on over 80k combined. I figured about 50k would be more than enough to cover the bills and have some left over to save and invest. I've always had that mindset and so its hard to comprehend how people can just blindly blow through millions of dollars. Investing is literally 2nd on the list after the house.

I remember telling him to invest 25%, put $30k away in a emergency savings, and don't tell anyone about his money. He didn't listen to anything I told him and in 10 months he was broke. A person has to be financially educated BEFORE they receive money in order to properly manage and grow it.

When a couple has been married for years and one spouse dies, it is advised to wait a year before making any major decisions. Anyone who wins the lottery or becomes a pro athlete should follow that advice. If I was advising I would allow 10% for fun and let the other 90% sit. Taxes are another issue most of these guys underestimate. After taking a year to learn how to have money, I bet many of these guys would make a lot of different choices. Being able to say NO is another skill that would be valuable.

[@snapperl]

Part of the issue being overlooked here is the "Pro Athlete" Mindset. You have to be more than a little nutty to think you can be a pro-athlete, even if you CAN make it (which most can't). Those folks are probably more optimistic than most and certainly more daring to risk their entire future on such a long shot as pro sports. Expecting folks with that mindset to be money smart is probably a bit goofy.

I'm no athlete, but when I was a college student, I would take my leftover money from financial aid and put it in a savings account. Sure, I was tempted to spend that money on other things, but I was taught to think of long-term impacts and save my money. By the time I left college, I had a nice little nest egg that later helped me get a car and my own place. Everyone I knew would spend their money as soon as they got the deposit, but I was taught to save and live within my own means (and you can still have fun within those limits). Whether it's $1000 or $1,000,000, the same strategy applies. You can be young and still know how to save and spend your money responsibly. That's why stories like this are so mind-blowing to me.

I am a property manager in the apartment industry and I just can’t understand why anyone would need a 5k/mo apartment.

That's so true. Bill Gates comes from an "old money" family, with generations of money, education and knowledge (bankers etc.). Gates and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen attended the same prestigious private school. Mark Zuckerberg's parents were also highly educated professionals, and he attended the elite Phillips Exeter Academy. This is true of several other entrepreneurs and tech founders such as Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin. It seems that Herro's father is a former basketball player whose hopes were dashed when he suffered an early injury. I get "stage parent/manager" vibes from him, much like the fathers of say, Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi and the Williams sisters. However, others posting here have stated that Herro's family is very well off, and that they bought stuff like vehicles and expensive watches for him before Herro made it big. Herro is only 21 and already about to become a father! Children are expensive, and the wealthy spend a lot on their kids, including nannies etc.

Ngl I really don’t see how Herros spending is that bad. If it continued needlessly then I’d be worried but it’s a guy buying 4 cars (2 of which he’s probably not responsible for any further) once he gets his contract. And they’re not insane $200,000 cars that other rookies have been known to buy. If you asked me with a contract like that to wait another year to buy a reasonable car I wanted I’d think you were being ridiculous. This is taking into account that by this point he’s already established himself as an asset and also that if you’re good as a rookie, your rookie contract is pretty much guaranteed the whole way through. Even if you’re not very good. Look at Markelle Fultz. Hasn’t come even close to being worth the money on his contract while being seriously injured and he has had 0 issues getting teams to want him on their roster. Also would point out Tyler has more grounded vets in his ear like Butler, Haslem maybe even Pat Riley.

[@SY-ok2dq]

Well there are some very smart 18~20 yr olds (I think Herro is 20 in this video?). Being young doesn't automatically mean dumb. Vitalik Buterin started up Ethereum at age 21. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in college (but had already received offers from then-big company AOL and Microsoft, to buy some music program Zuckerberg wrote in high school). Elon Musk had already sold a video game he'd programmed at age 12! Before they founded Microsoft, Bill Gates and Paul Allen were schoolmates, aged 17, who formed a venture to process traffic data.

[@hothotheat3000]

You invest every dime of that, don’t touch the principal, you’re guaranteed a six figure income for life based off the interest.

[@SY-ok2dq]

@@hothotheat3000 The problem is, most young people, especially those who come into money suddenly and are from low income/low education (especially regarding financial management) don't do that. Instead they see it as a vast sum which they believe will last a lifetime - so why not splash out on a whole lot of expensive purchases? Spoil yourself and your family etc. But then they are surprised to find they've blown through it quickly. And the problem with sports stars etc. is that they feel they need to impress with a lavish lifestyle, before they've properly secured a lifetime's worth of invested income. They tend to attract a lot of hanger-on types who mooch off them, further draining their finances. And try to "keep up" with celebrities or others who spend lavishly but have higher incomes and more to fall back on (people from very wealthy families who can fall back on their family wealth such as Paris Hilton) if they ever get into debt. In contrast, the likes of Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who built up fortunes early in their 20s, came from well-off or wealthy families (Gates' family were in banking), do not blow their early windfalls, despite being in their 20s. That's because these people usually grow up knowing about investment and financial advisors etc., and have personal connections that they can call on for advice. So they know how to manage their money. And their friends and peers (school and university classmates etc.) are generally from the same background, have some money, and won't be mooching off them. On the contrary, their friends will often help them by acting as an informal network to get access to possible investors and advisors such as lawyers, stock traders, investment advisors, and business executives. And also, these are very smart, educated young people (Musk has 2 degrees I believe, in engineering etc.) who develop their own businesses. That's in contrast to athletes who get their fortunes as payment for their sports abilities, not their brains. And they are basically employees, not business owners. When their employment ends, so do the big paychecks, with no retirement benefits.

[@northeast4665]

Nah that’s not the problem, the problem today is social media, call me crazy but social media inspires these young ones to have a crazy lifestyle that they can’t even afford n lookin up to ppl who can’t even afford there lifestyle unless they a celeb which even a good chunk of celebs still do payments not even full on cash, all though if they can make it work w/ payments then fair game (I’m 19 btw not an old head sayin this) it’s the truth tho 🤷🏽‍♂️ EDIT: btw I’m also sayin not every younger head is like this, but the rate ain’t stoppin either for stuff like this

[@hothotheat3000]

@Juan nope. Athletes were going broke well before social media. People have been flexing way before Instagram was ever a thing. The problem is the company that they keep, and their mindset that the money will last forever. That’s the root of the issue.

[@javiernoriega3122]

It was so eye opening when someone taught me about property taxes. For example if a player buys a $10 million house, they will have to pay $100,000 in property tax every single year for the rest of their lives. So if they blew all their money and now they’re retired, they’ll go broke in a only a few years.
