Re: Re: Tyson Files for Bankruptcy
Here's the whole thing I don't understand...
Mike Tyson (like many famous athletes, musicians, actors, etc.) came from humble beginnings. If you started out not having anything I'd assume that you'd gain respect for what you earned and not risk throwing it away.
I don't get why someone needs to be flashy and throw it around all the time. And what's with the entourage thing - paying friends to hang around you, bodyguards are one thing but come on.
With that kind of money I'd diversify and invest it then live off the interest. If I made more then I'd add it to my investments and have my interest income grow. It'd still net in the $milions/year which is more then enough to live on.
As for the tigers he should have just bought a fat tabby with an attitude problem - would have been cheaper.
Greed, irresponsibility, stupidity and low self-worth is all it is. Worst of all is the impressionable young kids who grow up idolizing these people and end up thinking that the only thing that will make you happy in life is money and material possessions.
Sorry... just felt like ranting.
