He often performs various changes in the game, which makes him capture the hearts of countless fans and is called "the wizard on the basketball court". The 76ers saw Iverson show his strength and immediately trained Ai as the center. Ai lived up to expectations and became a superstar in the league. Since you are a superstar in the league, big contracts are indispensable, and money will naturally come.

So what was Iverson's life like after he got rich?

We know that Iverson's career income exceeds $65.438+0.5 billion, equivalent to more than RMB 65.438+0 billion. Iverson was born in a poor family. After becoming famous, he began to splurge on various luxury cars and mansions, extravagant consumption, frequent access to various entertainment places and so on.

1, luxury car mansion

Like most players, Iverson, who became famous, drove a luxury car and lived in a mansion. It is reported that Ai bought a luxury house worth 5 million dollars in Philadelphia in 2003. The mansion covers an area of 65,438+0,260 square meters, with 6 bedrooms, 65,438+02 bathrooms, a sauna, a cinema and a gym. Where there is a house, there is a car. As an alliance superstar, how can luxury cars be scarce? Iverson bought many luxury cars, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley.

2, the expenses of a large family and friends.

There are many brothers and sisters in the Iverson family, and the expenses of these people are all on Iverson's head. Not only for family, but also for friends. It is reported that Iverson has more than 200 friends around him, and all expenses of these people are paid by Iverson. These people are Iverson's childhood companions, and they are all poor. Iverson is famous for his generosity. It is common to buy them a house and a car. This is why there are always many people around Ai. As the saying goes, "rich people have distant relatives in the mountains." It is natural that Ai has so much money and friends. Who doesn't like hanging out with such a big brother?

3. invest money in and out of entertainment places.

According to Barnes, in an interview, he talked about the profligacy history of former teammate Iverson, including the story of Iverson throwing money at nightclubs. Barnes described Ai's spending in and out of nightclubs like this: "Iverson was the first person to show me how players revel in strip clubs. That guy looks fierce. I just joined the league at that time, and every time we went to the bar, he would throw out 30 thousand to 40 thousand dollars. I was thinking,' Do you know what I can do with this money?' I often put my foot out and kick money under the table, or spill it in or put it in my pocket. "Ai, as a frequent visitor to entertainment venues, has made a big impact every time he comes, which also makes him a guest at major nightclubs and strip clubs in Philadelphia. After all, who won't send such a big customer away? And his style of throwing money at nightclubs has also spread and become a model for future generations to follow.

4. Develop the habit of drinking and gambling.

Iverson's career was infected with the bad habits of drinking and gambling, whether in bars or casinos. It is said that Iverson likes gambling very much, which is also a common problem of many NBA players. When he was rich, he got into the bad habit of gambling. It is said that every time Iverson goes to a city with the team, he will visit the local casino. Iverson has been left behind in Philadelphia, Chicago, Las Vegas and other places, and it is common to smash millions. Don't look at the answers on the court, but in the casino, it is basically the loser every time, and it is not uncommon to lose tens of thousands of dollars at a time.

When Iverson was playing for the Pistons, it was reported in the news that he often went to MGM and Greek City to gamble, but later neither casino allowed Ai to enter. According to Detroit media reports, Iverson was prevented from entering the casino because of his rude behavior. His gambling skills are not good, so he lost a lot of money and threw chips at the dealer. These indecent behaviors were denounced by casinos. Iverson has a serious gambling debt problem. Not only did casinos in Detroit ban him, but casinos in Atlantic City and New Jersey also did not allow Iverson to gamble. Iverson is listed as persona non grata and is often driven away by casinos.

Iverson is famous for gambling. Even after he retired, he didn't get rid of his bad habit of gambling. Even when participating in the BIG3 league competition, Ai missed the game directly without warning. Then I saw Ai directly in the casino, and the table was full of chips. Iverson used to be a famous fashionista in the league. All kinds of fashionable clothes once led the trend, and he often saw his new clothes from head to toe. It is reported that Iverson never takes luggage when he is away from home, and all items are bought and thrown away directly after the game. Even the newly bought game machine will stay in the hotel after playing once, and buy a new one next time.

How extravagant was Iverson when he got rich?

At the peak, Iverson took care of more than 65,438+000 relatives and friends, including food and shelter. Every time he goes out, at least 50 people follow him. More than 50 sports cars were once ordered. Of course, Iverson is responsible for these expenses, but he doesn't care. Iverson's personality is so rampant that he doesn't pay a penny for any business activities he despises.

All kinds of grand expenses throughout the year, even the god of wealth can't bear it. After Iverson became rich, all kinds of jewelry, cars, watches and luxury cars, as well as the expenses of relatives and friends, hundreds of thousands or millions, completely dragged Iverson down. Just a few years after retiring, Iverson filed for bankruptcy, and his wife divorced him, so that the two sides went to court. Ai said he was too poor to buy a hamburger.

Although bankrupt, Iverson's reputation is still there. He can get rich returns quickly by participating in several business activities. A few years ago, Ai came to China to attend business activities, which was not difficult for Ai. In addition, the NBA's pension system guarantees the fundamental life of players after retirement. Iverson can get a pension fund from the NBA every year to ensure that his life is still possible.

For a very famous star like Iverson, making money is too easy for them. His life-long contract with Reebok can guarantee him a lifetime of food and clothing, and he can get tens of millions of dollars from Reebok after the age of 55. Coupled with the BIG3 league he founded after retiring, it is basically not a problem to get millions from it every year.

So Iverson went bankrupt, too poor to buy a hamburger, which is just a rumor. In fact, even if Iverson goes bankrupt, he can earn at least several million dollars every year. This kind of life is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
