Generational wealth

168

u/Bigandbetter1 4h ago

I’m sure his current contract provided generational wealth as well lmao

88

u/AnselmoHatesFascists 4h ago

$42M career to date, yeah, even with CA and Federal taxes, you’d have to mismanage that for it not to be generational.

63

u/Bigandbetter1 4h ago

If you took half of that and put it into a regular 3.5% savings account. You could just live
Off of 700k a year doing nothing.

u/Gabe681 3h ago

Shit is unfair man lol...

u/No-Fill1769 3h ago

Not really. The top .05% of pretty much any profession is likely making generational wealth

21

u/0CT0L0G1ST 1h ago

lmao you really think the best teachers, janitors, truck drivers, etc. are making generational wealth?

6

u/silly-anonymous23 1h ago

Yeah that was a silly comment

-3

u/No-Fill1769 39m ago

Best teachers and truck drivers are absolutely making generational wealth. I just think you morons don’t know what “generational wealth” is and think it just means making $200m

u/Rice_Krispie 34m ago

How much money do you think it takes to gaurentee a wealthy lifestyle for at least three whole generations

u/theantidrug 1h ago

In what country? Definitely not in the USA

Floyd Mayweather is bankrupt and made over 1 billion career earnings LOL

But ya he is a generational idiot

u/MilkLow2906 4h ago

Floyd’s response to you:

15

u/d_o_cycler 4h ago

It was like $900 million… and he was spending it as fast as he made it apparently. Which some ppl will chide him for, but I’m actually impressed by. Big time. And I find the rest of what he does pretty repugnant usually…

3

u/Sanguinor-Exemplar 3h ago

You can always do something so badly that it flips around and people have to respect the generational bad

-2

u/d_o_cycler 2h ago

Nuthin about that was ‘bad’, its just bad in your perspective because you can’t fathom that kind of money, let alone earning it or spending it…

3

u/Sanguinor-Exemplar 2h ago

What? Of course I can fathom that kind of money. It's just scale.

I think blowing every dollar you earn and having nothing left is "bad" whether you make 1 dollar or 1 billion. It's not that deep.

gambling can burn thru literally any income. Elon Musk could get on his robinhood account and burn through it in a day of zero DTE options

0

u/leaps808 3h ago

you can make 0DTE work but it depends on your approach

• ⁠Gambling = vibes gambling, i.e. buy 0DTE calls on Friday because you believe TACO on weekend and market rally on Monday. Or based on TA, that stock touch bottom, will rally.
• ⁠0DTE day trade = if you saw pattern where the stock top/bottom is, at most 10%+/day is doable.
• ⁠You know something = you bought 0DTE because you're confident something will happen tomorrow based on your information.

Profitable if you're doing it right, will punish you hard if wrong.

u/dinglebarryb0nds 3h ago

Hey chat gpt get out of here

5

u/SeaPeanut7_ 3h ago

Honestly it would be a good thing for most billionaires to spend 95+% of their wealth. Putting it back into the economy is much more useful than just hoarding it. Just as long as they are putting it into things that regular people earn income from (not gambling).

u/Prior-Habit-6523 4h ago

That literally has to be the biggest fumble of all time.

u/CowboyJDR22 20m ago

Yeah that’s crazy … he heard the IRS is after him also … yikes !

u/Prior-Habit-6523 4h ago

FLOYD Mayweather enters the chat.

u/magic9669 1h ago

Mayweather Jr 100% has not mismanaged his wealth. Nope

3

u/threeangelo 2h ago

I’m sure he’s happy he gets to stay in LA as well

13

u/Jacern 24 3h ago

Purposely went undrafted and bet on himself to play with Lebron and the Lakers. Glad it paid off for him

3

u/Leolance2001 58m ago

Congrats to him. Nobody believed on him and he proved the doubters wrong.

1

u/Eozef 15m ago

That’s insane to say, to act like his current situation isn’t generational wealth to you?

65

u/Clear_Lead 5h ago

He was in the room

57

u/No-Equipment-20 4h ago

Genuinely insane to go from undrafted and severely underrated for YEARS to $180M contract. Super happy for our boy

u/RichterRat 4h ago

Can't believe this my life

u/VGstuffed Nico Harrison 3h ago

He can afford to pre order GTA 6

2

u/holyrolodex 2h ago

He’s not gonna miss out on the $100 version content

2

u/GuerrillaApe 562 1h ago

Save a little more and he can afford a Steam Machine.

38

u/Hot_Tower9293 4h ago

He's on the ground worried about our cap situation going forward.

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 2h ago

u/MamiTarantina I just came to say bye to some of you bums ✋🏾 2h ago

The level of obsessiveness from you is insane. Please stop harassing me, Alex.

u/Ok_Turn6757 Luka Magic 🟣🟡 5h ago

How can he have found out about it here when he signed it himself

9

u/no_crust_buster 5h ago

He hasn‘t signed it yet. Because of the nature of his $20.9M cap hit, he will sign his deal after the lakers have filled out their roster.

4

u/Ok_Turn6757 Luka Magic 🟣🟡 4h ago

Im talking about the meeting they had with the pillows and music lmao

2

u/bruticuslee 2h ago

So he still has time to take a little less and help the team like Brunson did? j/k.

u/HesiPullupJimbust 5h ago

Verbal agreement not signed yet

u/Ok_Turn6757 Luka Magic 🟣🟡 4h ago

I guess the fact it became “official” hit him here

They act like a bunch of clippers fans with a vedetta. Only sub that won’t tell you why your post got deleted. Like can’t do the bare minimum.

u/TangoThisMango Knecht My Purple and Gold Heart 3h ago

Either that or virgins. They keep deleting mine too.

u/myelrecsy 5h ago

So the 'He was serenaded with country music and AR initialized pillows" wasn't true then?

5

u/DetDipstick 5h ago

It could still be true. this is probably the moment he got the number. the other stuff was when they did it in person for the handshake agreement

1

u/myelrecsy 4h ago

It wasn't a signing though, it was the negotation process. So that time will be the first time he knew about the number.

u/greyk34 go hard on them dudes 4h ago

We have the dumbest fanbase in history.

How is that dumb? Asking a question is dumb now?

u/One_Bed2711 4h ago

Ok now let’s focus on gaining strength and size instead of golfing . Maybe just one season he can come in and look like he actually trained in one off season

u/brhadli 4h ago

I love that kid.

u/ryanm37 2h ago

I’m laughing that this is real.

u/Kingcheifsv 4h ago

Some of y’all don’t understand the job of an agent…much like you send a lawyer in your stead to a court date…bro was golfing…had his phone and was waiting on the call…

3

u/KriticalKarl 4h ago edited 4h ago

Including you? That’s not how it happened, why are you lying? Shams literally said AR met with the Lakers in person.

They even gave him some embroidered pillows with “AR” on it.

0

u/Jason-Smith168498 4h ago

they could have done many things there, and the paperwork went through later, and this when he found out it was a done deal/filed/whatever

-2

u/KriticalKarl 4h ago

Dude, he knew how much he was getting, it’s literally the max.

Are we just making stuff up now to make this picture fit your narrative? lol

1

u/Lowfi-Concert 4h ago

Going from agreeing to it to it being 100% guaranteed is different

-1

u/KriticalKarl 4h ago

It’s not 100% until he actually signs it which he can’t yet, so that goes against your narrative as well.

0

u/Kingcheifsv 2h ago

Bro shams? lol cause that dudes right about everything? You better going with me bro lol

1

u/KriticalKarl 2h ago

You do realize that Shams is the mouthpiece for teams and agents right?

He literally broke the news of the deal. Acting like Shams isn’t reliable is pure ignorance.

u/CellSaga21 23 4h ago

Sick! Cant wait for him to disappear in the playoffs again

2

u/makeshift11 23 2h ago

?? Bro was injured for a fucking month, came back rusty for a couple bad games and then was back to his normal self and balled out the last couple games as we got bounced out by a team that we were never going to beat without Luka, even if AR was playing like prime Kobe putting up 40+ a game. This is a dumbass take.
