Pearl - Athletes Going Broke From Child Support ｜ Pearl Daily

00:00:00.000 couple of months. And if you guys do want to support the channel, please go to the audacity

00:00:04.220 network.com. That's the audacity network.com. The link is in the description. Oh, cool. We are

00:00:11.120 live. Let me make sure. Oh, this is so great. Oh, we did such a good job today. Good job. Let's do

00:00:16.840 a round of applause. Okay. So today we are going to be talking about the athlete to broke from

00:00:29.080 child support pipeline. So as you guys know, women love stealing men's money. Men do the hard thing 1.00

00:00:35.700 in society. They build the roads. They maintain the buildings. They create income. They do all

00:00:40.480 of the inventions. And what do women, what do we love doing? Stealing, taking the money from them. 1.00

00:00:46.500 So the late and great Kevin Samuels made it a point to disqualify athletes and entertainers

00:00:53.860 entertainers from the category of high value men. Now, this is because athletes do not earn their

00:01:02.560 money in the same way as the people that built themselves up in corporate America or started

00:01:09.220 their own business. Men that have had to take the long, hard road to earning their money

00:01:14.880 tend to have better financial habits and a better overall viewpoint when it comes to

00:01:22.340 spending, saving, investing, and just general life decisions. I mean, that's why you see all

00:01:28.340 this crazy. I mean, you guys hear me talk about it all the time. When you see YouTubers doing 0.99

00:01:32.820 wild stuff, you're like, why would they do that? It's because, you know, fast money comes with

00:01:37.200 fast problems. Now, most professional athletes are bad with money, and this is reflected in how

00:01:42.980 many go broke during or after their career. What are the number one and two reasons why male

00:01:50.540 athletes go broke? Can we guess everybody? Guess in the chat. Alimony and child support.

00:01:59.820 So, athletes going broke is pretty much assumed at this point because it happens so often. For

00:02:06.400 every Marshawn Lynch or Tom Brady that retire with millions and millions of dollars, there are

00:02:12.160 a hundred that are going broke because of child support. That's what today's show is going to be

00:02:17.420 about. Athletes going broke from alimony and child support. In the past, the most common way

00:02:24.720 for an athlete to go broke was marrying a woman when he's young without a prenup. And then 20

00:02:29.140 years later, the wife leaves him and takes half of his fortune. But times have changed. More often

00:02:35.720 than not, you see football, basketball, and baseball players. See, there's a kid in here.

00:02:42.500 I don't know if I can say. Sleeping with a bunch of 304s, getting them pregnant and having kids 1.00

00:02:48.920 all over the place. The number of professional athletes with children by multiple women is just

00:02:55.100 getting out of control. So we're going to first show a New York Post article that shows how

00:03:00.600 athletes are just losing everything. Okay, so you are barely out of your teens and you have

00:03:08.560 been signed to a multi-million dollar contract by a pro team. You can expect another 20 to 30

00:03:14.580 million in endorsement deals in our position to become a brand unto yourself. LeBron James,

00:03:21.100 Brady, Kobe, Derek Jeter. And what's even more incredible is you find yourself in this scenario

00:03:27.880 you would most likely end up dead broke if not bankrupt and homeless by the time you're 40.

00:03:33.960 Lots of players are having financial trouble, but they won't talk about it, says ex-NBA player

00:03:39.220 Adenal Foil, author of the book, Winning the Money Game, lessons learned from the financial

00:03:45.180 fouls of pro athletes. There's a lot of fear, Foil says. Guys are vilified. They're waiting to see

00:03:53.020 who goes into the lottery of going broke. Of course, it's not a lottery. It's not, of course,

00:03:59.980 it's not a lottery, a game of chance. Pro athletes go broke due to the constant series of bad

00:04:06.080 decisions and seemingly no amount of cautionary tales from Tyson to Iverson to Holyfield to

00:04:13.860 William the Refrigerator Perry can stop them. Lots of guys are having trouble, says Foyle,

00:04:19.140 who also has a master's in sports psychology, but they won't talk about it. They think,

00:04:23.840 I don't want to be one of those guys and they're hiding it. The superstars who've taken themselves

00:04:31.620 down is endless. And Foyle discusses most of them in his book, Mike Tyson, who tore through

00:04:37.800 $300 million on multiple homes, cars, jewels, and pet tigers. In 2003, he filed for bankruptcy.

00:04:46.680 Baseball great Carl Schilling made $112 million over 20 years, but he went so broke in 2013

00:04:53.480 that he begged the Baseball Hall of Fame to return his bloody sock from a famous pitching performance

00:04:59.780 against the Yankees so that he could auction it off. It brought in more than $92,000. Wow,

00:05:06.100 that's insane. Later that year, Schilling held an estate sale hawking everything from the Hummer

00:05:13.720 to the golf cart and a baby grand piano to old power chargers, used crutches, and unopened DVDs.

00:05:20.680 i sold all of that stuff to pay back the banks he told the boston globe instead of filing for

00:05:26.060 bankruptcy and keeping it all i sold it all it sucks the house the house went to listed for 0.82

00:05:32.220 3 million it sold for 2.5 million half of what shilling paid for it in 2004 avander hollyfield

00:05:39.480 burned through his 230 million dollar fortune on a 235 acre utah estate which has 109 rooms

00:05:49.540 and included at least one monthly electric bill of $17,000. There was also a $550,000 loan he took

00:05:58.960 out to pay landscaping, $200,000 in back taxes, plus alimony and child support for not one,

00:06:06.420 not two, but three ex-wives and 11 children. Divorce and child support payments, FOIL writes,

00:06:13.080 are the two are the two things most athletes never anticipate early in my career I heard a

00:06:19.520 league official say that once they retire there's an 87 percent divorce rate among NBA players he

00:06:26.140 writes although I haven't verified this number based on what I've witnessed it seems about right

00:06:31.300 and then there's the phenomenon of pro athletes fathering multiple children with multiple women

00:06:37.720 foil sites where's daddy the classic 1998 sports illustrated cover story that explored the

00:06:44.340 phenomenon sean kemp then a forward on the cleveland cavaliers had an on-court meltdown

00:06:50.580 that year that was attributed to his stress over child support payments at 28 he had seven children

00:06:57.440 by age 20 former nba firebrand latrell spewell had fathered three children by three different

00:07:04.800 women. The article listed NBA stars from Patrick Ewing to Larry Bird to Scottie Pippen to Jason

00:07:12.280 Kidd to Stefan Marbury to Isaiah Thomas as those child support making payments as those making

00:07:22.220 child support payments on out of wedlock kids. I'd say there might be more kids out of wedlock

00:07:27.700 than there are players in the NBA, one top agent told the magazine. NBA star Jason Caffey,

00:07:34.700 earnings $35 million over eight years, filed for bankruptcy in 2007 after his arrest for

00:07:41.660 non-payment of child support, which carries mandatory jail time. He has 10 children by

00:07:48.820 eight different women. The only reason I filed for bankruptcy was to get these arrest warrants 1.00

00:07:55.300 off of me, he told Press Register. Perhaps. It was also reported that Caffey's monthly income was

00:08:01.520 just $7,000. There are two financial obligations that can never be dismissed by bankruptcy,

00:08:07.980 child support payments and taxes. The average football, baseball, or basketball player owes

00:08:13.180 around $1 million in federal taxes each year, Foil writes. The key word here is owes because

00:08:20.360 not everyone chooses to pay. But eventually the IRS does catch up with you. MLB all-star Jose

00:08:27.360 Conseco earned over $45 million over the course of his career. He filed for bankruptcy in 2012

00:08:34.300 in an article he wrote for Vice magazine. Conseco failed to see the big deal. The issue is very

00:08:41.060 simple. If you've got friends and family, the more money you make, the more you spend on them,

00:08:45.580 he wrote. So let's say you spend half your money on them and the rest on yourself and your

00:08:50.200 cost of living. It may so happen that during all of that, you forget to pay your taxes.

00:08:56.400 Additionally, pro athletes are subjected to what's known as the jock tax. All players with the NFL,

00:09:02.820 NBA, MLB, and NHL have to file taxes in every single state in which they play during the fiscal

00:09:09.420 year. What frustrated me was seeing the amount of difficulty players were having in my sport,

00:09:14.380 says Foyle, who spent 13 years in the NBA. When I started talking to older NBA players and asking

00:09:20.940 what landscape is in retirement, the answer shocked. When I started talking to older NBA

00:09:27.800 players and asking what is the landscape in retirement, the answer shocked me. Far too many

00:09:33.160 of them, he found, had not only failed to plan for their future, but lacked a basic understanding

00:09:39.060 of money management. Almost none of us had come from wealthy families, Foyle writes. The vast

00:09:44.460 majority of us do not even come from middle-class families. Instead, we sign multi-million dollar

00:09:50.320 contracts as 20 years old with little or no financial knowledge. In a 2009 Sports Illustrated

00:09:56.200 report, ex-NFL player Rug Keeb Rocket Ismael described what it might look like to sit in a

00:10:04.880 meeting about his financial future as a very young naive athlete. I once had a meeting with

00:10:09.700 JP Morgan, he said, and it was literally like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher. Almost

00:10:15.760 never discussed, Foyle said, is the psychology of the poor athlete suddenly making it rich

00:10:20.960 and the financial demands that family and friends will almost always place on him.

00:10:26.860 When your parents come and ask you for money or your entourage member, you know you can say no,

00:10:32.100 but at what cost? Parents will say, we raised you, we took care of you. Friends will say, I had your

00:10:37.080 back. These people are attached to the athlete psychologically. Far more often than not, the pro

00:10:43.680 athlete, no matter how famous and seemingly invincible, has no money in a 401k, no savings

00:10:50.120 in case of a career-ending injury, no trusts held for a later date. After you've beaten up your body,

00:10:56.440 instead of retiring in some semblance of peace, you're pitching pennies, Foyle says. In this

00:11:02.480 regard, 11-time All-Star Allen Iverson is lucky. He blew through his $154 million NBA salary,

00:11:11.660 spending a reported $360,000 a month on multiple mortgages, credit cards, jewelry, cars, and his

00:11:18.700 50-person entourage. And holy crap, how do you have 50 friends? In 2012, one year after his 0.94

00:11:27.400 retirement, his monthly income was just $62,500. Iverson recently told Charlie Rose that reports

00:11:36.340 of his financial state were untrue. That may be because Rebook, the one company where Iverson

00:11:43.260 had a lifetime endorsement deal, socked away $30 million in a trust for him. He cannot touch that

00:11:49.120 money until 2030. And that was a decision made for him, but not by him. And as the case of

00:11:55.320 Daryl Strawberry illustrates, that $30 million may not be safe. In 1985, when a then 19-year-old

00:12:02.400 Strawberry signed with the Mets, he was given a $7.1 million contract with 10% put into an

00:12:09.140 annuity with an annual interest rate of 5.1%. Today, the annuity will pay out nearly $2 million

00:12:20.240 over the next two decades, except Strawberry won't be getting it because the IRS auctioned it off to

00:12:26.380 recover more than the $500,000 he owes back in taxes. An anonymous bidder paid $1.3 million,

00:12:33.620 securing himself $8,891.82 a month from the New York Mets until the year 2033.

00:12:43.380 Foyle, who's now 40 years old, has always been an outlier. Like many pro athletes,

00:12:47.800 he comes from a very poor background, raised largely by his grandparents on a small island

00:12:52.940 in the Caribbean. He was scouted as a teenager and brought into the states where he lived with

00:12:57.960 a foster family in upstate New York. He has never seen a car before or ridden on an elevator.

00:13:03.620 But his sudden wealth as a pro baller never destabilized him, and he credits his foster

00:13:09.200 parents. His dad was an economist, and his mother was a professor of women's studies and sociology

00:13:14.720 for his outlook on money. We had conversations about what's important in life and how to be a

00:13:20.200 moral person, he says. By his junior year of college, he was drafted by Golden State, and

00:13:24.520 after making a rookie salary for his first three years, he signed a four-year $16 million deal.

00:13:31.780 Yet Foyle says he never looked at the money as reflective of his value as a person or

00:13:37.020 a player.

00:13:37.900 It's a tool to be deferred to work for him.

00:13:40.880 I always looked at each contract like my last, he says.

00:13:44.380 He talks about being the lone guy in the locker room to not buy a luxury vehicle.

00:13:50.980 I didn't care what others thought of me when I drove a Toyota 4Runner my rookie year, he

00:13:56.240 writes.

00:13:56.760 It was all I could afford.

00:13:58.800 He never had an entourage.

00:13:59.940 who where are these people getting entourages I don't like what makes an entourage I'm just

00:14:06.580 trying to understand how this works so do these people have like friends that expect them to just

00:14:12.460 pay for their life in order to hang around I just can't imagine a world where I would think I would

00:14:19.860 have to pay for you to exist I need to know what this entourage is doing but this is my two cents

00:14:25.140 okay he never had an entourage and didn't buy things that would only depreciate in value

00:14:29.700 like jewels, cars, designer clothes. He met with financial planners often and saved his money in

00:14:34.680 case he suffered a career-ending injury, which he did after 13 years in the league. By then,

00:14:40.400 he knew what he wanted to do to help younger players plan for their future. Okay, so it's

00:14:46.480 going to go through three infamous cases of athletes who lost it all. Vince Young, NFL career

00:14:51.900 drafted in the first round by the Tennessee Titans in 2006. He was named NFL Rookie of the Year.

00:14:58.180 he earned 34 million over an eight-year career plus 30 million in endorsement deals blew it on

00:15:05.380 5 000 a week at the cheesecake factory what are you guys getting at cheesecake factory

00:15:13.180 isn't that like not that expensive of a place where young oh he regularly treated eight teammates

00:15:20.760 could they not afford that i'm just trying to i'm just thinking because cheesecake factory it's not

00:15:30.760 that that i mean it's not that it's not like nobu okay what also he did the same thing at tgi fridays

00:15:37.660 where he spent six thousand and one sitting buying out a houston to nashville southwest

00:15:44.700 Airlines flight in 2007, which he sat 120, which sat 120 people so he could fly alone.

00:15:55.340 According to Young's former financial advisor, he took out a high interest loan of at least

00:16:01.040 1 million during the 2007 NFL lockout to throw himself a birthday party filed for bankruptcy

00:16:07.700 in 2014. Okay, then we got Warren Sapp. Hall of Famer played a total of 11 seasons for the Tampa

00:16:16.080 Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders. He retired in 2008. He earned $82 million from the NFL and

00:16:23.340 was an on-air talent at the NFL Network from 2008 until this February, where he was fired after his

00:16:29.920 arrest on the charges of soliciting prostitution and assault. That'll get you. Do you know what?

00:16:38.000 I just want to know if the prostitutes were also charged in this. I just want to make sure it's

00:16:43.240 even, okay? Okay, so blew it on a $7 million estate in Florida. So he blew his money on a $7

00:16:49.540 million estate in Florida. Holy crap, 240 pair of sneakers. That's like a new pair for every day 0.97

00:16:59.900 of the year. A lion skin rug, a bad real estate deal, $45,000 a month in alimony. Holy crap. 0.96

00:17:09.040 And $15,000 a month in child support. Dang. How long was he married? In 2012, ex-wife Jamico 0.98

00:17:17.240 filed a suit against SAP claiming he was $728,000 behind in payments. He filed for bankruptcy in

00:17:25.320 April of that year all his personal belongings went up for auction in 2012 except his Super Bowl

00:17:30.360 ring which he claimed to have lost yeah okay okay Robert Swift he was drafted in at age 18 in 2004

00:17:40.820 by the Supersonics 12th pick in the first round earnings estimated 10 million to 20 million over

00:17:47.560 four years in the NBA he tore his ACL in 2006 and was forced to retire in 2008 he blew it on a

00:17:55.240 $1.4 million home in Samomich, Washington, housing for his parents, two new SUVs for his parents,

00:18:03.880 and a new truck for himself, parties, tattoos, and booze. He was forcibly evicted from his

00:18:10.420 foreclosed home in 2013, and he left behind guns, live ammo, trash, feces, broken down cars in the

00:18:16.160 driveway, and unopened scholarship offers. He is now believed to be living with his parents.

00:18:21.700 Oh, what an L. And this is the thing, when people get money fast, right, and they don't go through

00:18:27.580 the character development, you know, the struggle, the toil, it just makes them kind of bad people.

00:18:34.540 And working in media, you meet a lot of 18-year-olds, and some of them are super bright.

00:18:39.200 Like, some of them just worked their ass off, and they're, like, killing it at, like, 20 years old,

00:18:43.520 and you wonder, you kind of wonder, like, it makes you reflective, and you're like, when I was 20,

00:18:47.920 I was like shotgunning a beer, you know what I mean?

00:18:52.340 But then you also get the people that just get money fast and they blow it. 0.99

00:18:58.220 And they just blow it in the dumbest way. 1.00

00:19:00.520 It's in the dumbest ways. 0.99

00:19:03.660 Okay, so this next article, there's 15 athletes with more kids than they can afford. 0.95

00:19:11.260 So the first one they go through is, and you guys have to forgive me, I don't watch sports.

00:19:15.900 So I'm going to pronounce some of these names wrong.

00:19:18.240 It just is what it is.

00:19:20.020 I follow the child support, not the not the sport.

00:19:23.280 So Marshall Falk is a Hall of Fame running back.

00:19:27.780 He is the only player in the history of the NFL to amass 12,000 yards rushing and 6,000

00:19:34.840 yards receiving.

00:19:35.860 He was a three time winner of the Offensive Player of the Year and won the league's MVP

00:19:40.500 award in 2000.

00:19:41.560 Unfortunately, he hasn't quite had the same success when it came to the ladies.

00:19:45.900 sure he did father six different children with four different women but he hasn't exactly had

00:19:52.760 fairy tale relationships with any of those women women his former girlfriend Helen Dune who was

00:19:58.400 the mother of three of his children accused him of domestic violence but he was acquitted of these

00:20:04.140 charges he also has had he also has a son with the former wife of NBA player Derek Fisher and was

00:20:12.340 married to a woman named Lindsay Stout for eight years before the two got a divorce. At one point,

00:20:18.700 it was reported that he was paying as much as $15,000 a month in child support payments.

00:20:24.120 Next, we got Ray Lewis. He was a future first ballot Hall of Fame linebacker. Ray Lewis considers

00:20:30.220 himself a devout Christian, but we're not 100% sure if that applies to the fact that he had six

00:20:36.620 children with four different women. I mean, it happens, you know, sometimes it's like the first 0.63

00:20:42.440 wife doesn't work out. The second side chick doesn't work out the third. I mean, now he's at 0.89

00:20:48.780 four, you know, I guess, I guess that just happens. Um, shortly after his NFL career began,

00:20:55.200 he began paying 3,800 a month in, um, to the mother of his first two children, um, who he met

00:21:03.120 at the University of Miami. In January of 1998, Lewis was forced to pay $29,700 a month in back

00:21:12.740 payments, plus $2,700 a month to a woman he had fathered his daughter with. While he was rehabbing

00:21:22.260 from a torn tricep injury during his final year in the NFL in 2012, he had to deal with the fact

00:21:29.220 that one of the mothers of those children were trying to hire a forensic investigator to snoop

00:21:35.640 through his finances in order to up the amount of child support he was receiving. I mean, I just

00:21:41.940 want to know how much does it cost to raise kids? Can you guys tell me in the chat? I just can't

00:21:46.860 imagine a world where you need 30 grand a month to raise a child where I'm going to check the

00:21:52.540 chat really quick and I just want to get you guys's thoughts like what I because I could

00:21:58.800 understand a thousand two thousand but we're getting to thirty thousand dollars a month this

00:22:04.780 is just getting insane all right I'm gonna list the rest of the people this article um goes through

00:22:09.840 so Vladimir Guerrero a major league baseball player who is on the hook for twenty five thousand

00:22:20.440 a month in child support. Janoris Jenkins, it says he has to pay $4,000 a month in child support to

00:22:31.160 four different women. And okay, then we got Chad Johnson and he's on the hook for

00:22:41.520 $6,000 a month in child support to how many women? Let me scan this. 0.88

00:22:50.440 he apparently he's behind $38,000 in child support payments and he's required to pay

00:22:56.940 $6,000 per month in child support, $72,000 per year plus another $1,000 a month. The latter would

00:23:03.160 go to the child's college fund. Johnson stated that he was unable to pay those bills. Evander

00:23:11.420 Holyfield. He, in 2012, the Georgia Department of Human Services threatened former boxing heavyweight

00:23:23.160 champion Evander Holyfield with potential jail time. If he didn't make good on the $372,000

00:23:31.860 he owed the mother of his 18-year-old daughter, the mother claimed that the father never paid a

00:23:37.740 dime of child support, but he was legally required to pay beginning two years prior. To make matters

00:23:43.660 worse, after all of the court fees were tabulated in this case, it brought the amount to just under

00:23:53.060 $564,000 in child support. The thing is, these payments are for just one woman he fathered a

00:24:01.660 daughter with, Hollyfield actually fathered 11 children with eight different women, including

00:24:07.680 the woman who gave birth to Amani. While we don't know how much more money he's paying to these

00:24:13.880 other women, but based on this one, it might be quite the sum. That's a big reason he didn't

00:24:19.420 officially retire from boxing until he was almost 50 years old. Okay, so then we have Tyreek Hill.

00:24:27.840 now Tyreek Hill NFL star Tyreek Hill hints he has 10 kids in a new interview and insists he

00:24:36.240 takes care of them all but the 120 million dollar Miami Dolphins man 30 admits it's a distraction

00:24:45.040 when they go to see him play football Tyreek Hill has appeared to confirm that he has as many as 10

00:24:51.480 children in a new interview reflecting on his journey on top of the NFL. The 30-year-old Miami

00:24:57.880 Dolphins wide receiver, considered by many to be the fastest player in the NFL, faced two paternity

00:25:04.860 suits last year while a third woman told DailyMail.com that she had a child with him.

00:25:11.560 Hill also has three children from a previous relationship with ex-fiancée Crystal

00:25:16.340 espinal meaning he has up to six children with four women but in a new interview on the million

00:25:22.780 dollars worth of game youtube channel he didn't deny claims that the overall number is much higher

00:25:30.160 hill was asked by one of the hosts you play offense but off the field you're an all-time

00:25:34.940 leading tackler you've got 10 kids you're just a family man hill bowed his head and while he

00:25:40.500 didn't confirm that figure he didn't reject the number 10 either causing the hosts rapper

00:25:45.580 gilly da king an influencer wallow 267 to burst out laughing okay so i guess this is one of his

00:25:56.080 baby mamas seems like they got a good thing going i guess there's another kid um here's some of the

00:26:03.160 other baby mothers i guess he doesn't really have a type he's got a black girl there a latina there

00:26:09.900 a white girl that, I mean, he does not, that man does not discriminate. Hill, who has a couple of

00:26:16.120 songs, a couple of his sons playing in the background throughout the interview says,

00:26:20.480 yeah, man, I grew up in the South, man. You see what it is. You see my boys running around here.

00:26:25.420 It don't matter how many kids I got. A lot of people won't be able to say Tyreek don't take

00:26:30.380 care of his kids though. I think that's the biggest thing. I wish all of them would have

00:26:35.120 been here. All of my kids love coming to the games game and stuff like that. Sometimes it can be hard

00:26:41.260 for me to be mental, to mentally lock in because I've got daughters too. You know how daughters 1.00

00:26:46.060 can be. They want to be daddy's girl. They want to be held and stuff like that. Sometimes it is

00:26:51.000 tough, but at the same time, I've got to be aware. I've still got a job to do, but I've got to be a

00:26:55.760 father to my kids in this small moment. I've got them here. It's a lot. Hill has played for the

00:27:01.840 Miami Dolphins since 2022 in a trade from Kansas City Chiefs for a deal for a total of $120 million

00:27:08.580 and $30 million each year. All right, put a one in the chat if you think he's going to go broke.

00:27:14.040 Put a two in the chat if you think he's going to make it. In March, Hill accused his effing

00:27:23.260 bonehead lawyers of filing for divorce on his behalf without his permission 76 days after the 0.90

00:27:31.300 couple got married. Do you know what's so crazy? Women are still signing up for this. Do you guys 1.00

00:27:39.100 think that he has a shortage of women wanting to be baby mama number 11? Do you think he has like 0.99

00:27:48.800 women just saying, no, no, I am totally above this. Look at it. There's another one. Okay, 1.00

00:27:59.260 so I mean this just goes through this guy's getting everyone I mean you guys get the idea

00:28:03.680 he's getting everyone pregnant I hope he's not a statistic but I if I had to bet money that's 0.99

00:28:09.720 kind of the way I would see it going okay so now we're gonna watch a video this video is by

00:28:15.920 um Spencer Cornell Cornelia Spencer Cornelia and he's gonna talk about how and why NBA players go

00:28:26.800 broke so we'll play it now 117 million dollars in his nba career yet recently claimed he was in

00:28:32.080 financial trouble is he going to be the next athlete to file bankruptcy after retiring we'll

00:28:36.220 find out today this is a nice car right this one is beautiful too oh we can't they say we can't

00:29:07.680 least um okay i guess trevor has both one for him and one for his wife which totals eleven thousand

00:29:13.920 dollars a month in expenses. Why can I see it up there? It's for the cars. Trevor also invested his

00:29:19.380 money in real estate. It's weird because I'm wondering if there's, hold on, maybe it's one of

00:29:28.920 these. I'm going to try something and see if this works. Do you know? You know? Yeah, I'm clicking

00:29:38.700 number two, but it's still not. Like I can see it up there, but I can't see it. It's on the live.

00:29:52.180 with the you're on you look great we'll stay in businesses so we'll get a

00:29:56.720 yeah see i don't know because i think it needs to go to where the red is but i don't know what

00:30:01.840 do we have to click um guys give me one oh my producer's calling let me see what he says

00:30:08.340 give me one second guys hey is there a button you know I have to click cut okay

00:30:19.100 oh I think we got it okay let me see if this works

00:30:26.840 dang I thought I was switching them the whole time wait let me see if it worked

00:30:32.660 okay right now it should oh okay okay you do okay cool i'm gonna hang up now thank you

00:30:44.660 all right guys so let's see cut so i think now it's on the screen glimpse into the lifestyle

00:30:53.720 of the rich and famous trevor had an outstanding career that lasted 18 seasons he even won a title

00:30:58.760 with the Lakers when they defeated the Celtics in 2009.

00:31:01.560 Despite never making an all-star team

00:31:03.200 or even being the number two option on a contender,

00:31:05.400 Trevor still received contract after contract.

00:31:07.720 He entered the NBA when AI meant

00:31:10.160 an undersized overachieving MVP in Philadelphia

00:31:12.700 and left when it meant the robots are coming.

00:31:15.080 Trevor never had a massive contract,

00:31:16.760 but he was a steady multi seven-figure earner

00:31:19.020 for over a decade.

00:31:20.180 Ex-Lakers star Trevor Ariza

00:31:21.480 cannot maintain luxury lifestyle

00:31:22.880 months after NBA retirement

00:31:24.280 pleads for low child support payments.

00:31:26.320 These headlines have unfortunately been very common

00:31:28.580 throughout the history of the NBA.

00:31:30.080 This is Trevor and his ex-wife, Bree Anderson Ariza.

00:31:32.580 I found the income and expense declaration

00:31:34.460 from Trevor's ex-wife for their court dispute.

00:31:36.800 She filed for divorce in September, 2022.

00:31:39.240 She indicated that she has not had a job since 2008.

00:31:42.060 She lists herself as having zero income.

00:31:44.420 She lists current assets.

00:31:45.360 Can we talk about, just for a second,

00:31:48.440 I don't understand if you're gonna leave

00:31:51.060 the father of your children, why?

00:31:52.880 Like, shouldn't you then assume you have to work?

00:31:56.100 like i i understand like you married rich but like wouldn't it make sense if you only got to

00:32:03.720 be a stay-at-home mom and like the benefit of his money if you stay with could we could we

00:32:10.100 maybe even make a deal where you got to stick it out till the kid's like 10 i just at this at that

00:32:17.840 point if you're leaving i would assume you hate this guy so much you're ready to work forever

00:32:24.100 like i don't know why that wouldn't be the assumption and you know ladies feminism's 1.00

00:32:30.940 helped us out i mean you can go be a nurse you can go start an only fans you can do anything

00:32:36.280 these days so you know i i just i get a little frustrated when like i because this is what i

00:32:44.700 always get i always have women they always say i gave up my career to be with a man right but

00:32:51.480 they never give up a good career like if they had any assemblance of a future like they would have

00:32:59.940 picked that but because they were like the choice was watching like kids at school or something or

00:33:07.760 I'm guessing is there a tech issue because my producer is calling me is did I mess something up 0.97

00:33:21.480 you only see the computer screen oh shit so no okay wait 0.91

00:33:28.320 now okay now i'm back okay now i see okay sorry 0.85

00:33:32.900 okay okay okay thank you okay bye sorry guys you guys know me in the tech um but going back to what

00:33:47.420 I was saying. I just, I think there needs to be a bargain here. Look, I'm not, I don't believe in

00:33:53.180 like men being deadbeat dads. I think that's wrong. But some of you guys are, you're deadbeat

00:33:58.340 moms. And you decided, you decided I want to take his money, not work. And half the time they don't 1.00

00:34:06.220 even want to watch the kid either. They'll get like a nanny. And I'm like, what are you doing

00:34:10.140 all day? Like, it just might be time to get a job. I'm not a, I'm not, I feel like if you're

00:34:16.560 gonna not work i need i just need you to be like i need you to stick it out one more time

00:34:26.660 i'm good now oh okay okay i'm gonna i'm gonna go back assets of just under 15 000 in cash and

00:34:37.480 access to a 4.7 million dollar property of note in box nine is change in income my financial

00:34:42.540 situation has changed significantly over the last 12 months because respondent denies me

00:34:46.540 access to our accounts only have one joint account which has only it's the screen only paid for car

00:34:52.300 leases brie is asking for financial support while she takes care of the kids which doesn't sound

00:34:56.700 like an irrational request but let's check out their spending she lists her average monthly

00:35:01.020 expenses as 55 272 dollars while living in california someone would need to be earning

00:35:06.780 around 1.3 million dollars per year just to cover that expense number 18 000 towards a mortgage

00:35:12.460 fifty five hundred dollars in child and health care not covered by insurance nine thousand

00:35:16.140 dollars a month towards groceries and food that food better come with it nine nine thousand a

00:35:21.760 month in food what are you eating is she gonna be like the next woman on my 600 pound life that is 1.00

00:35:30.680 a lot of money that is a lot of money i just i feel like okay if you don't have a job couldn't

00:35:37.220 you cook isn't it time where you could you buy you can get a big bag of rice some chicken

00:35:44.020 you know anti-aging vitamins completely organic and makes you feel incredible for nine thousand

00:35:50.580 dollars a month in vegas you can live in the nicest part of town if your mortgage is nine

00:35:54.600 thousand dollars a month let alone just your food budget 24 000 a month for utilities taxes

00:35:59.840 and insurance for their la property and what appears to be a san diego property a big reason

00:36:04.460 for celebrities and athletes having a I just think okay if you're getting a divorce this is 0.66

00:36:09.900 what I would expect okay if I if you're gonna divorce right I would expect that I am now I

00:36:16.080 hate this guy so much I'm gonna work forever and live in an apartment that would be my that would

00:36:22.500 be what I would assume the future would be but it's now you can like do nothing just for getting

00:36:31.940 that's like the easiest thing to do ever do you just get pregnant oh my gosh a bloated lifestyle 1.00

00:36:38.960 budget is multiple luxury houses that cost so much okay they shop at the most expensive grocery

00:36:44.660 store what are these grocery stores charging i just i don't even understand like i'm trying to

00:36:51.400 think so 9 000 a month i'm gonna do the math on this so 9 000 a month what is that a day

00:36:56.420 so let's do divided by 30 days that's 300 a day that can buy you like a whole thing of groceries

00:37:03.460 i guess maybe if you're going to like five star restaurants i could see how that would add up

00:37:08.280 okay i guess that's how people burn just to own with no rental income offsetting the cost

00:37:14.260 the house has become a massive liability trevor learned the value of financial protection and

00:37:19.220 i'm going to share with you the value of identity protection which is why i partnered with aura

00:37:23.080 When I first used Aura, I was impressed in information.

00:37:26.060 This prevents one password, financial fraud, or getting hacked.

00:37:29.220 We're skipping this ad.

00:37:30.340 If you want an all-in-one text your devices for malware, then start your video.

00:37:34.600 $3,700 a month for clothes and laundry.

00:37:36.940 $5,000 a month for vacation and gifts.

00:37:39.200 This.

00:37:39.980 Five grand a month on vacation.

00:37:44.180 Don't.

00:37:46.280 These women are not watching these kids. 1.00

00:37:48.580 I just don't.

00:37:49.140 You're not going to convince me they're spending a lot of time watching these kids.

00:37:52.280 is the lifestyle of the wealthy. It's hard to understand spending that much money if you aren't

00:37:56.780 at that income level, but I'm sure it's easy to spend it if you got it. Savings and investments

00:38:00.940 are only $500. I don't think Dave Ramsey or Graham Stephan would approve of this budgeting.

00:38:05.820 Miscellaneous and household staff of $5,000 per month. Whenever you're spending $5,000 a month

00:38:10.760 on vacations, of course you need to match that with a staff member to attend to your house when

00:38:14.860 you're gone. Jokes aside, many wealthy homeowners in the area Trevor lives in have personal security

00:38:19.480 at the house or have caretakers for their kids. She lists $100 towards charity. It's nice to see

00:38:24.320 that they give back a little. I personally couldn't find any wiggle room. Okay.

00:38:30.480 If you're not working, why do you need a nanny? Like what? 1.00

00:38:41.620 If you're, if all you're doing is taking money from him and you're not, you don't have a job.

00:38:46.740 I just don't understand where the nanny is needed. 0.86

00:38:49.500 Don't, aren't you taking the money so you could spend time with the kid?

00:38:53.000 You just are not going to convince me that these women are watching them. 0.99

00:38:56.260 You're just not.

00:38:57.200 I am not buying this.

00:38:58.100 Room in their budget, so it's good to see some allocation to charity.

00:39:00.840 Now let's see Trevor's submission to see the differences.

00:39:03.520 His last employment was with the LA Lakers, where he was getting paid $192,000 a month.

00:39:07.700 It's always funny thinking of athletes as employees because they earn so much money,

00:39:11.380 but they are.

00:39:12.240 They are W2 employees, as he lists here.

00:39:14.620 Trevor claims an additional $5,000 a month income from various LLCs and $8,300 a month on average

00:39:19.960 from interest. While that sounds like a nice passive income source, only having around 13

00:39:24.280 grand coming in every month after making $117 million in his career is pretty unacceptable

00:39:29.580 and clearly not enough to cover living expenses. Trevor states his financial situation has changed

00:39:34.420 significantly as he's no longer employed as a professional basketball player.

00:39:37.980 Oh, I see the chat's weighing in. So they're saying she needs a nanny

00:39:41.500 so she can go out and look for the next simp that is a tough job okay that's why the nanny 1.00

00:39:48.640 is needed they said every housewife's dream is a nanny okay thirds of nba players go broke or

00:39:54.880 whatever the percentage is because they don't prepare for life after basketball just investing

00:39:59.160 20 million dollars out of the 117 million earning five percent every year would mean he'd be

00:40:03.720 bringing in a million dollars passively every single year for the rest of his life trevor

00:40:08.740 lists his assets as $873,000 in cash, $1.6 million in stocks, and $6 million. I'm getting

00:40:14.420 some insights from the chat. They're saying they spend all their days in hair salons and partying

00:40:20.000 with the girls. It's important. Okay. House and business equity. I know this is a lot of money to

00:40:26.140 me and you, but this is horrific if this is all he has after earning $117 million. I'll tell you

00:40:32.140 why in a second. He lists his total monthly expenses as $112,000. I want you to consider

00:40:37.100 this someone spending a hundred grand a month will run through 1.2 million dollars in cash in

00:40:41.840 one year. Someone like Trevor who lists only a couple million in assets will be completely broke

00:40:46.900 within a couple years based on what he's listed in this court document. $8,900 a month in child

00:40:51.420 care to someone named Daphne, a different woman than Bree, his ex-wife. $6,700 a month for his

00:40:56.160 children's education and clothes. $12,000 a month for vacation and gifts. $19,000 to other and $23,000

00:41:02.620 for the following. $10,700 goes towards his and his ex-wife's Rolls Royces. He pays $3,400 a month

00:41:09.140 for a Maybach and another $1,700 for her new Cadillac. $16,000 a month just in car payments

00:41:15.400 to give you an idea on how insane. Holy crap, $16,000 a month in car payments. Insanely stupid 0.93

00:41:22.260 this is. In California, you'll need to earn around $350,000 a year just to pay your income taxes and 1.00

00:41:28.380 car payments. He also lists $6,500 towards a personal gym. I don't know what that includes,

00:41:33.220 and it does sound a little insane, but it's the only expense that reasonably makes sense to me.

00:41:37.360 He was a pro athlete, which means his body and training were paramount to his earning capacity,

00:41:42.820 and he can't work out at any kind of public gym. He's paid his attorneys $81,000 so far and owes

00:41:47.800 another $86,000. If you watch my channel at all, then you know I love calling out the ludicracy 0.99

00:41:52.040 of legal bills. His lawyers verified payment statements and made a few important phone calls

00:41:56.720 or emails or who knows what and build $170,000.

00:41:59.900 Trevor does include attachments to 11 different LLCs

00:42:02.740 that he allegedly has an ownership interest in.

00:42:04.700 He only lists $5,000 a month

00:42:06.400 coming from one of the Wild Wings restaurants.

00:42:08.240 I am aware that Trevor may be attempting

00:42:10.680 to reduce his income on these documents

00:42:12.800 to avoid having to pay Brie as much as the law may dictate,

00:42:16.300 but I can only go off what he's provided.

00:42:18.300 He lists the profit and loss

00:42:19.500 for what I believe are his restaurants.

00:42:20.840 They collectively gross $14 million in 2022,

00:42:24.000 so it's not a failing investment,

00:42:25.460 but his Form 1065 indicates a passive loss of over $700,000 for the year.

00:42:30.260 Trevor is seen flying private in his most recent Instagram post.

00:42:34.220 It's unlikely-

00:42:34.680 Okay, so he's growing broke and still flying private?

00:42:41.520 My dad-

00:42:42.420 My dad has worked his whole life and never flown private.

00:42:47.620 Oh my gosh.

00:42:48.840 Likely he's chartering a jet for him and his son if he's on the verge of bankruptcy,

00:42:52.660 but his finances don't indicate someone

00:42:55.180 that can keep this current lifestyle going for long.

00:42:57.620 Athletes don't go broke during their playing days.

00:42:59.480 They go broke when their income goes to zero

00:43:01.360 when they retire and the inevitable divorce happens.

00:43:04.520 Buy expensive real estate as a second property,

00:43:06.600 lease exotic sports car,

00:43:07.840 spend $100,000 a month on who knows what,

00:43:11.440 spend $9,000 a month on child support

00:43:13.400 to someone who isn't your ex-wife, 0.63

00:43:15.280 spend $13,000 a month for child support to your ex-wife. 1.00

00:43:19.080 Basically everything stupid you can do 1.00

00:43:21.000 as a professional athlete, Trevor has done. 0.99

00:43:23.320 I certainly don't enjoy seeing

00:43:24.600 ex-athletes struggle financially,

00:43:25.900 so I hope Trevor isn't the next in line. 0.99

00:43:28.340 But these guys are so bad with money, it's pathetic. 0.97

00:43:31.660 If any athlete is watching this, 1.00

00:43:33.340 stop having kids with multiple women. 0.59

00:43:35.840 Stop getting married during your playing days.

00:43:37.960 You will get divorced and she will get half. 0.78

00:43:40.200 Multiple baby mamas and divorce 0.93

00:43:41.880 are the ultimate wealth destroyer for athletes.

00:43:44.040 Think about this.

00:43:45.060 If you make 100 grand a year, California takes half,

00:43:48.140 and then you end up getting divorced when she takes half,

00:43:51.000 At the end of the day, after your living expenses,

00:43:53.380 after your baby mama child support payments,

00:43:55.640 an athlete may only be taking home 10%

00:43:57.860 of what they actually earn

00:43:58.980 over the lifetime of their contract.

00:44:00.820 Unfortunately, Trevor is the next athlete

00:44:02.940 to end up in a headline about financial troubles,

00:44:05.220 and I hope he's gonna do okay.

00:44:06.380 I wonder why they don't see the older athletes

00:44:09.160 and choose to postpone getting married.

00:44:12.520 I wonder why they still do it.

00:44:16.660 I guess Jimmy Butler's having baby mama trouble too.

00:44:20.520 This hits home because I went to an NBA game once for the Chicago Bulls, and he was there.

00:44:26.520 I don't know if he still played.

00:44:27.860 Oh, he plays for the Heat now?

00:44:29.140 I don't even know.

00:44:30.020 I don't follow it.

00:44:30.880 Hey, hey, come on in.

00:44:32.160 Sit down.

00:44:32.640 Let's talk about Jimmy Butler and his child's mother.

00:44:36.900 Okay.

00:44:38.920 So Jimmy Butler has three children with his child's mother.

00:44:44.920 He and her were never married.

00:44:46.720 I believe that the first child was born in 2019, and then there was another child in 2022, and then there was another child in 2023, if I'm reading the court documents correctly.

00:45:03.920 Now, he is currently paying her $55,000 a month in child support.

00:45:15.120 They reached an agreement late 2023 where they address custody, visitation, and child support.

00:45:24.580 now it appears that she is requesting demanding that he pay an additional ten thousand dollars a

00:45:35.560 month for the nanny so that would bring his total up to see

00:45:40.600 i would pay for a reality tv show where you watch these women try to get jobs 1.00

00:45:50.380 and like really difficult ones you know because if she's asking for another 10k a month and she's

00:45:59.140 able to live off of the child support she already has there's no gratitude in this she needs to go

00:46:04.900 back and learn the value of money you know what would you guys have her work in this reality tv 1.00

00:46:10.480 show. Put it in the chat. I want to know your thoughts. $65,000 a month in child support.

00:46:18.480 $65,000. So she has $55,000 a month. She's trying to go to $65,000. She's saying $55,000

00:46:26.600 isn't enough. This is insane. So this is based off of, I believe, his most recent contract,

00:46:38.820 which was 168 million dollars so if you were to break that up then 55 000 a month 65 000 a month

00:46:50.980 really isn't that much oh my gosh

00:46:56.980 but you have to wonder how is she getting 55 000 a month what are the needs of the children that 0.97

00:47:03.220 So it requires $55,000 a month.

00:47:06.520 And so we don't know.

00:47:09.360 You know what's interesting?

00:47:10.400 You know what I love?

00:47:11.340 Whenever a guy is successful, the ex-wives will always take credit. 1.00

00:47:17.440 Like, they'll be with him for, like, five years and take credit for all of his success.

00:47:23.480 The rest of his life.

00:47:24.380 You know, like, Jeff Bezos?

00:47:26.420 His wife was, like, doing admin work.

00:47:29.120 And they give her the credit of Amazon.

00:47:31.900 because she was she was like an assistant she was doing admin work in the back and but the thing is

00:47:38.860 the men this is what the men do they lie to the women because they love the women right so they're

00:47:43.620 in a relationship they're in love and they're like yes baby I couldn't do it without you he knows that

00:47:48.640 he could do it without her he knows damn well he could do it but he's got to lie to make the woman 1.00

00:47:53.880 feel good right and this is the problem you guys then in divorce court what she does is she's like 1.00

00:47:59.740 see he said he couldn't have did it without me but Jeff Bezos made more money after the divorce

00:48:06.440 where McKenzie just lost it so I you know I mean let's just call a spade a spade here

00:48:11.920 what we do know is that he has filed a motion with the courts this year and he is saying that

00:48:19.300 they were never married she was never his wife so she doesn't get to live like an NBA players 0.85

00:48:29.680 wife she gets child support for the maintenance of the minor children and to take care of all 0.92

00:48:36.020 their needs and ensure that their living standards are comparable to when they are with him but he is

00:48:43.820 not responsible for financially taking care of her as they were never married so 55 000 a part

00:48:52.840 of that should go towards the fees for the nanny so if you're getting 55 so you guys just know it's

00:48:58.880 so funny okay so I did a show with Brittany Renner a while back now you guys know Brittany Renner

00:49:06.700 she's um she's a well-known baby mama right I mean that's I forgot who her baby daddy is it's

00:49:13.740 some guy that's in the NBA PJ Washington she went for the you know this is what the older women do 1.00

00:49:19.400 so they'll be like a really hot 25 year old and they'll be just waiting for these 18 19 year old

00:49:26.040 guys to graduate college and be drafted and she was she was on it she was ready and these guys

00:49:31.760 you know these women run circles around them because i mean they've been waiting they they've 1.00

00:49:36.780 gone through half of the nba so they already know all the tricks they know how to get them to fall 0.99

00:49:40.760 in love or whatever i guess the one state she chose to have a kid in had a cap on child support

00:49:49.760 i don't know this is just what i heard i heard she doesn't get more than 2005 this is alleged

00:49:56.380 alleged alleged she freaked out at me on this last show because i was talking about how women 1.00

00:50:00.800 make poor financial decisions i didn't know she was going to take this personally i didn't really

00:50:05.340 know what she was going through lo and behold news reports come out she starts saying she

00:50:10.960 it's a cap at 2500 of mine can you imagine they go through all the work to like prey on the young

00:50:19.360 the young NBA players they go have the kid and they didn't even take the time to google the state

00:50:25.420 that they're in oh that's so funny and it's great because they shouldn't be doing that anyway right

00:50:32.440 that's the wrong thing to do but like if if you're gonna go do the wrong thing you would like it's

00:50:39.220 like imagine somebody goes through the the work of trying to rob a house right and they they go

00:50:46.020 into this neighborhood like they go into this big house and they break in and they break the law and

00:50:51.140 they do all this crazy stuff to get there and they get in there and find out there's nothing

00:50:55.720 valuable in the house it's like you you just would think that it's not that you're condoning the

00:51:03.120 behavior right you just would think they would do all that work you would at least google the reward

00:51:08.900 but you know you can't yeah she is a demon I mean insane thousand dollars a month of fifty five 1.00

00:51:16.740 thousand dollars a month and then on top of that you have a nanny for an additional ten thousand

00:51:21.000 dollars a month then what are you doing when the children are with the nanny why are you not working

00:51:27.360 so this is what I think a lot of the the high earning like mothers do like that either get a 1.00

00:51:36.200 lot of money from the husband or make a lot themselves. There's this idea that women love 1.00

00:51:41.200 children, right? And I just, you know, everyone thinks I'm crazy when I say this, but I don't

00:51:46.940 really think they do as much as, you know, they say they do. Now, why do I think that? Number one,

00:51:52.580 women are more violent towards children than men. So that's the most likely person to abuse the 1.00

00:51:58.360 child is either the mother or a guy that the mother brings around. So what they try to do is 0.96

00:52:03.860 they try to make it seem 50 50 because the second most likely person is the stepdad but if you look

00:52:09.140 at biological parents it's most likely to be the mother that's number one two the kids turn out

00:52:16.100 better if they're in the if they're in the dad has custody so what does that tell you the dads

00:52:21.220 are more invested and number three these women that have the money to get nannies to raise their 1.00

00:52:27.900 kids so you know the question is do you it's like they want a lot of and not all there are really

00:52:35.460 great mothers out there so I'm not saying all right but there there's at least a significant

00:52:39.860 portion that what's important to them is looking like a good mom so they go to the events they go

00:52:44.780 to this but then these divorces come out the same thing happened with Hillary Crowder right Hillary 1.00

00:52:49.480 Crowder called Stephen Crowder an abuser and on her Instagram it's like her with the kids it's

00:52:55.660 this whole account dedicated to being a good mother.

00:52:58.460 I read their court documents.

00:53:00.680 The nanny was working 60 hours a week. 1.00

00:53:03.560 You can't convince me that this woman was spending time with, 1.00

00:53:07.560 was invested in the child, right?

00:53:09.640 So a lot of them, they want to look like a good mom. 1.00

00:53:12.720 They want the clout of the kid, right?

00:53:14.760 They can't get the, like, attention from their looks anymore

00:53:17.480 because they're getting old, you get fat, whatever.

00:53:19.800 And so what they do is they have a kid and they get attention from that.

00:53:23.140 and it's really not fair to the children because it's like fathers they're just in general in

00:53:28.720 general they just tend to be better people they're just more invested they don't really

00:53:32.340 care about clout they don't really they're not the type to like i mean there's a reason why we

00:53:37.580 over celebrate mother's day and under celebrate father's day even though the father is the most

00:53:42.620 influential person to the child so let me keep keep going with this why do you not have employment

00:53:48.380 mr butler i'm asking the same thing why is she not employed is not responsible for her lavish

00:53:56.740 lifestyle the lifestyle and the maintenance is for the children and only for the children

00:54:03.180 and that includes fees as it relates to child care so that is what they are back in court

00:54:11.140 so i have a friend who he ended up winning custody of his kid in court

00:54:15.680 and he got primary custody so the he started off like every other weekend with the kids and it

00:54:22.440 happened like right after the kids were born and somehow I think the mother like got into a DUI

00:54:27.740 or something with the kids so he ended up getting primary custody and you know what he told me he

00:54:32.480 said I couldn't believe how much easier watching the kids was than I thought now I'm not saying

00:54:37.120 it is or it isn't I don't have kids but like it just amazed me like hearing his perspective he's

00:54:43.740 like yeah I kept hearing my whole life that being a mother was the hardest job in the world that

00:54:48.140 this was so difficult that I couldn't do it and I thought I was going to be overwhelmed and I was

00:54:52.560 just surprised at how much easier it was than I thought now I'm not saying it's easy right I'm

00:54:58.160 just saying this was his point of view so yeah I'm not and so with a nanny it's like 50 what do

00:55:06.940 need 65k a month for even the liberals should agree with me on this 65k as we get updates

00:55:15.260 i'll circle back around and keep you posted okay that's what happens guys you've got to be

00:55:21.340 more careful all right okay then next we got

00:55:28.380 athletes paying the most in child okay i gotta turn off the sound on this one

00:55:33.900 because otherwise it's copyrighted okay so the 10 athletes paying the most child support

00:55:40.480 we got eddie curie 16 000 a month 192 000 per kid or um per year sorry pays for one kid

00:55:51.560 wow 200k what do you guys think would be a reasonable amount or you would say that's

00:55:59.080 reasonable per kid. I accept that. Although my mom told me, cause I'm one to 10. My mom told me

00:56:05.580 that every additional kid costs less money because you got like, you, you figure out the

00:56:12.040 cheaper systems and like, um, you can hand, like do hand me downs. A lot of times schools will have

00:56:18.600 like group discounts. I, I'm curious what you guys think in the chat. So we got Tiger Woods,

00:56:27.460 20K a month. Vladimir Guerrero, 25K a month. I think some of these we did earlier. Antonio

00:56:39.040 Cromartie, $28,000 a month. Brutal. Oh, this is so brutal. Okay. So this story was funny.

00:56:50.320 so apparently this guy he went in with a generous offer of child support and he said it's fine i'll

00:56:59.900 give 20k a month it's fine then he upped it to 30 and the wife just kept asking for more and more

00:57:06.940 and more and got it slashed to less so let's see

00:57:10.840 uh am i not oh it's my sound thing here hold on i mean four i'm paying four for let me start over

00:57:19.740 okay so you personally with all the child support that you paid on two kids four four kids yeah i

00:57:27.080 mean four i'm paying four for child i'm paying all i'm paying for all five but but with laura's

00:57:32.400 four okay you have five kids total but one i'm not on the system you know okay got it have you

00:57:39.880 technically have you paid exactly what you owe or do you technically overpay and and you know i'll

00:57:44.940 also get school and i'll get extra clothes okay all right someone says five hundred dollars a

00:57:50.080 month max for one to three kids it's not supposed to be alimony our system is designed to destroy

00:57:57.060 marriage um do you think a lot of women would figure out a way to work it out if there was a 1.00

00:58:03.960 $500 a cap

00:58:05.480 yes

00:58:06.800 my original case this is what

00:58:12.080 used to make me frustrated to all

00:58:14.000 the women out there on her side 0.97

00:58:15.340 I was

00:58:16.300 the judgment was $20,000

00:58:19.400 for four kids

00:58:20.900 $5,000 a kid

00:58:22.860 that's fair

00:58:24.640 I was happy with that

00:58:27.500 because she was trying to go for $244 0.95

00:58:30.280 $20,000

00:58:33.380 times 12 that's 240 million dollars so she wanted mediating and I'm at mediate

00:58:46.200 okay I told her I told the judge the retired judge why am I here I'd love

00:58:53.620 with 20,000 I'm fine am I here for I don't want to negotiate so whatever they

00:58:59.220 saying no i'm saying no to all of it right first the first one oh it's just no okay so what what

00:59:05.780 do they try to pitch to you um they were trying to pitch me that you know i need to pay for her 0.97

00:59:11.460 ring like it was just it was just all this just just a whole bunch of nothing right so the judge

00:59:17.300 was like listen if they're money hungry on that side won't you just ask for more time with the kids

00:59:23.300 you throw a little bit more money you get more time

00:59:29.480 so i said okay 50 50 summers and then i want this this this this and i'll put in 15 15 000

00:59:38.880 extra i'm up yeah so you up to 35 so i bumped it up to 35 okay and then i paid for school

00:59:45.300 on top of that on top of that which made it 44 so i was originally at 20 at 20 okay so he offered

00:59:52.260 35k a month plus school okay 35k a month plus school the 44 and she just had to go for more

01:00:01.040 i went up to 44 okay that's a lot right and then you know and then that probably like a month later

01:00:07.960 she fouled again she kept fouling and fouling the 44 wasn't enough no because she figured oh if it's 0.96

01:00:14.860 that 44 from him then i can tell the judge like oh i need more because and the judge was like

01:00:19.940 you know i have to go by what's on paper so if you're going to keep coming here i'm gonna have

01:00:26.740 to drop it down to the real number like like it's better to attract bees with honey than vinegar

01:00:34.500 right so that was the whole thing so i'm like i'm loving this judge right and then eventually we

01:00:39.320 we went and the judge went from 44 to 7100 so she could have had 44 000 and then she got 7 000

01:00:47.660 that's so funny

01:00:50.500 whoa

01:00:51.680 so you went from 20

01:00:53.820 to 44

01:00:55.260 back down to 7100

01:00:57.520 so she lost a third of her original 0.56

01:01:00.440 on her fouling

01:01:01.680 it was her fouling 1.00

01:01:03.740 how angry was she when she got that 7100

01:01:06.320 it was

01:01:08.560 you gotta be angry

01:01:10.060 you're not gonna tell me she was brushing that off

01:01:12.380 no of course not

01:01:13.680 that's why we don't get along now 0.99

01:01:16.080 because it's like, why am I going to give you a chance for more shits at me again? 0.99

01:01:20.000 So, you know, like, there's no, you parent from there, I parent from here. 0.98

01:01:24.460 So I pay more because I still take care of the kids.

01:01:28.000 I buy the kids all their clothes and shoes and do all that stuff.

01:01:33.460 Dang, that was a fun story.

01:01:35.400 That was hilarious.

01:01:36.860 Okay, now last clip we got for the day.

01:01:39.840 we got a woman talking about her um her court battle with her nfl so it's nfl or nhl baby daddy

01:01:51.960 it's gonna do a sad place when we're getting more baby mamas than wives 1.00

01:02:00.040 my nfl baby daddy gives me for child support each month here's a bit of background info before i

01:02:04.740 share. My ex played in the NFL for 12 years. He has a working farm that he's done a TED Talk on.

01:02:11.540 A couple years ago, he was given an award by his alma mater, the University of Georgia,

01:02:15.820 an award to celebrate his entrepreneurial success. We have two kids together, a five-year-old and an

01:02:22.060 eight-year-old, and we've been locked in a court battle for four years now. Custody was just

01:02:27.380 settled earlier this year, and we are still figuring out child support. The reason why it's

01:02:32.440 in four years is because he's not been cooperative and has not turned over simple things like tax

01:02:40.340 returns for his businesses and whatnot. I have the kids the majority of the school year. During the

01:02:46.400 school year, he gets them every other weekend and then summer is split. He refuses to pay half of

01:02:51.480 their extracurricular activities and since I have them for the majority of the school year, the bulk

01:02:56.420 of all of their school year expenses also has to get paid by me. Want to see how much I'm getting

01:03:02.160 each month? Yeah. So again, this is just entitlement. If you want to leave, it's totally

01:03:09.240 fine. I'm really not of the, I'm not of the opinion that we should ban. I, I did. At one

01:03:15.140 point I had the opinion that we should ban no fault divorce. Okay. And I changed my mind. And

01:03:21.200 the reason I changed my mind is because there's so many men in like these miserable marriages

01:03:25.160 and I just think they deserve to be able to leave. Do you know what I mean? I don't think

01:03:29.840 it's fair because what the women will do is they'll like they'll get into the marriage and 1.00

01:03:34.160 then pull the fat grenade or they'll like they'll like have one personality before and then switch

01:03:39.360 it after and now he's stuck I'm like that's not fair and you know I'm sure there's you know men

01:03:45.960 that do that too I just have never met one ever and I've never heard that as a complaint ever but

01:03:50.560 I'm sure it happens um so when women like this come out and they say my ex doesn't pay for anything 1.00

01:03:59.540 he's this he's that he's abusive you got to ask the question as to why and nobody asks

01:04:05.140 generally speaking when you do an amicable divorce and you just leave and you say look

01:04:11.160 I don't like you anymore um I just we're not I want to go I mean they want to go bang the

01:04:18.860 personal trainer or whatever it is the musician I you know they say look I gotta I gotta go do that

01:04:25.020 but we can just call it quits we can just be pals men generally are pretty supportive they're like

01:04:31.640 okay i'll go date the younger hotter woman you're kind of annoying anyway good i mean they're sad 1.00

01:04:37.000 right but like the the problem is the the problem is they destroy these men's lives and then expect

01:04:44.680 the guys to be like nice to them and expect them to be cooperative some still are but in my

01:04:51.980 experience when the women tell the story like that the the catch is he's not being cooperative

01:04:58.500 because I destroyed him and made his life hell for three years so now he's not that nice to me

01:05:04.300 um it's like wow it's like Pearl's talking about my ex hey hey you know I just

01:05:11.580 I've done I'm traumatized a little bit I'll tell you what because I went into this and I was like

01:05:18.160 I don't know why men are saying they don't want to get married anymore I'm like that's a

01:05:21.820 weird thing to say my parents are married what the it's weird right and then I just kept

01:05:27.180 interviewing these guys and I kept thinking there were like these special women that like don't do 1.00

01:05:32.820 this stuff I'm like no the women around like where I grew up they didn't do that and then I thought 1.00

01:05:37.840 back and I'm like holy crap my friend's dad who was deployed I bet he wasn't actually abusive I

01:05:44.780 bet she just said that and then I would kind of like I would go back and then I would interview

01:05:49.540 these guys and like i would interview one guy from like a catholic a super catholic background

01:05:54.180 woman did the same thing i'd interview one from a muslim background the woman did 1.00

01:05:58.320 and really what i concluded was this is just a roll of the dice you never really know what

01:06:02.980 you're gonna get until you're until she's got the kid and then you see her true character
