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...

JJ Redick says $10,000,000 is supposed to last an NBA player forever “During my career the average NBA career was like four and a half years. So if you play four and a half years, that means you’re not getting to a real second contract” “You’re likely making 750, 1.2, 1.5 maybe you get an exception, 2.9. So you’ve made $8 million over four and a half years. Let’s call it $10 million over five years” “You’ve got $5 million to spend. You’re in the NBA, you’re going to get a nice car, you’re probably going to buy a nice house, but you’re going to take care of your parents before you spend another dollar” “Then you’ve got to pay your agent. How is that supposed to last you the rest of your life?” “It’s not about the intake, it’s about the outtake”

Knicks Legend Carmelo Anthony says the thing nobody warns athletes about isn't going broke, it's what it does to you mentally "That's $100 million, but it's not really $100 million over a five-year span" "You're talking half your check gone to taxes. Then you gotta live, the house, take care of your mom, your agency fee, all of this stuff happening…" "And that drastic change of lifestyle messes you up mentally. That's the grey area that gets a lot of athletes"

NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe says athletes who go broke after a $100,000,000 contract have issues “A $100 million contract, I think everybody understands nobody's getting all $100 million of that” “If you live in a tax free state, let's just say on the high end you paying 37% federal income tax” “You got 60 million liquid, theoretically you put that in a fund you gonna get 5 to 8%. There'll be some years you get 10 to 12%” “So, even if you're just getting 5% on 60 million, that's $3 million a year. If you can't live off $3 million a year, you got issues”

Asmongold explains how a video game actually makes money to studios that apparently don’t know “How does a game profit with a $100 million budget? You have to make more than $100 million. If you have a $100 million budget and you make $3 million, you’ve lost $97 million.” “If the second number’s bigger than the first number, it’s good. If it’s smaller, it’s bad. Bungie doesn’t know this, Ubisoft doesn’t know this, but the secret to making money is to make more money than you spend. I know it might sound crazy, people might not be ready for this.”

Rich Paul says athletes have the hardest job in the world because their $100 million contracts can become $50 million after taxes while everyone around them stops working “Athletes have the hardest job in the world.” “They take everybody to work with them.” “You at work, you at work, nobody with you. But they take everybody to work with them.” “Not to mention $100 million, really $50 million after taxes.” “Now you gotta multiply that times your dependents, then break it down from there.” “When an athlete makes money, everybody around them stop working.” “That don’t make sense though.” “When the CEO of Amazon gets promoted to become CEO, I can guarantee you nobody stopped working.”

You went from having no money to a million dollars, and now you still have no money."

OBJ says a $100 MILLION NFL contract isn't really worth $100 MILLION… and Cam Newton explains why. Odell Beckham Jr. says fans see the headline number, but not what players actually take home. His example: > “A five-year, $100 million contract… it's really five years for $60 million.” He says people also forget that the money is spread across five years not paid all at once. Cam Newton agreed and said the real problem isn't just taxes, it's lifestyle. He explained that once your income goes up, so do your expenses. He pointed to things like: — Taxes — Buying your mom a house — Cars — Ferrari insurance — Maintenance — Registration fees — Moving cars between states — Everyday lifestyle costs Cam then addressed the common belief that $100 MILLION means you'll never have to work again. > “People say, ‘If I made $100 million, I'd never work another day in my life.’” His response: > “That too is a lie.” Cam says it all comes down to one thing: > “If your income is being submerged by your output, you are doomed.” His advice: > “Live like a prince… not like a king.”

Ben Affleck says making a theatrical movie is far more expensive than most people realize. “Even without paying a huge movie star, it’s very difficult to make a film for less than $25 million today.” “And that number can climb fast once you add action scenes, stunts, or visual effects.” “What most people don’t realize is that you often spend about as much marketing the movie as you do making it.” “If the movie costs $25 million to make, you might spend another $25 million promoting it.” “Now you’re $50 million into the project.” “And theaters only send back about 50% of the box office.” “So if your movie grosses $100 million, you’re basically breaking even.”

Elon Musk: 𝕏 users post 100 million times a day. Grok will read everything. “The really big change is Grok literally reads everything that's posted to the platform; there are about 100 million posts per day. So it's 100 million pieces of content per day. I think it goes beyond that if it's outside of English. We're going to start off reading what Grok thinks are the top 10 million of the 100 million. And we'll actually read them and understand them and categorize them and match them to users. This is not a job humans could ever do. And then once that is scaling reasonably well, we'll add the entire 100 million a day. So it's literally going to read through 100 million things and show you the things that it thinks, out of 100 million posts per day, are the most interesting posts to you.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025
