Rich Paul says he wanted off LeBron James’ payroll as soon as possible to build his own career “LeBron wasn’t obligated to do anything for me or anybody else.” “The only person he was obligated to do something for was Gloria James.” “When I got my first check, I didn’t even know how to read it.” “I called and asked what my job was.” “He said, ‘I actually don’t have a position for you at all.’” “I had two choices.” “I’m definitely not a yes man.” “So I created value.” “I was everything from a party promoter to a stylist to a jeweler.” “That eventually led to a job at Nike.” “That’s where I learned the legal side, the footwear business, and marketing.”

Carmelo Anthony explains why a $100,000,000 contract doesn’t make professional athletes rich for life “$100 million… let’s not get that twisted.” “It’s not really $100 million.” “You’re taking 50% to 60% off the top.” “So that $10 million becomes $5 million.” “Then you’ve got taxes in every state you play in.” “You’ve got a house.” “You’re taking care of your mom.” “You’ve got a 4% agent fee.” “You’re not working with $10 million anymore, you’re working with $5 million.” “That drastic lifestyle change is what messes a lot of athletes up mentally.” “You’ve got to budget how you pay your mortgage.” “You’ve got to budget your food.” “$100 million is not $100 million.” “You’re not even seeing 50% of that money.”

Rich Paul says even athletes making $200, 000,000 can’t afford to waste money “I’ve got guys who are 22 making $200 million over the next four or five years.” “But I’m constantly telling them that’s not a lot of money based on where they’re starting.” “They’re done at 33.” “That money’s taxed.” “No athlete can afford to fly private all the time.” “Yet we see so many athletes on Instagram flying private.” “I fly Delta.” “I cannot afford to fly private, and that’s okay with me.” “I’m trying to get where I’m going to make the money. I’m not trying to spend the money.” “The times I do fly private, you’ll never see it on Instagram because it’s not for show.”

Stephen A. Smith reacts to reports Trump made $1,200,000,000 from crypto: “My issue isn’t the money he’s made.” “My issue with him is not the money he’s made.” “My issue is with the money he’s costing the American people.” “You didn’t have $2 billion to take care of TSA workers so they didn’t have to work without a paycheck for 30 days.” “But suddenly you have money to finance a war that’s costing $2 billion a day.” “This war in Iran has cost us over $30 billion, if not more.” “Your cronies are profiting.” “Your sons are profiting.” “Your family’s profiting.” “You’re profiting.” “But the American people are struggling.” “That’s my issue with Donald Trump.”

Rich Paul calls out athletes spending $200,000 at Louis Vuitton while trying to negotiate down the people who help them “Treat me the same way you treat that person behind the Louis Vuitton cash register.” “They ain’t giving you no discount.” “You’re throwing everything on the counter because it costs more.” “It’s a status thing.” “You want to show that you spent $200,000 at the store.” “But when it comes to someone earning a percentage, you want to cut their percentage in half.” “That don’t make sense to me.”
