Ridiculous ways famous athletes blew their money – Something wholly terrible happens to most poor people when they go from being poor most of their lives to be grossly rich:they buy stupid things. No one has any idea why this is.

It is like there is some secret society of rich people who are trying to outdo one another with stupid purchases. We all know MC Hammer loved encasing things in gold for no reason (which is one of the 172 elements that led to him losing $150 million dollars) and we all know Nicolas Cage was out buying dinosaur skulls pet and sharks, which is why he has been in 200 movies and now has seven dollars to his name.
But what is the draw in that for people? To be openly mocked later in articles by a third party? If such is the case, we are inherently grateful for rich people who spend money so stupidly, as it gives us something to talk about. It needs to be known, there is an inherent sadness in this decadence as well. First off, that sadness comes from the fact that most of the people reading this will not make, in the entirety of their lives, what the following people blew at one time. The second sad aspect, though, is that many of these athletes will be broke at the end of their lives and are blissfully unaware of that at times of said purchases. It could be said with better financial advisers in their lives, this list would not even exist.
That having been said, here are ten immensely stupid purchases made by athletes for no discernible reason other than bad taste or gaudiness, purchases they will (or inevitably already do) take great shame in.
Except number 8. Number 8 is kind of boss.
10. Eddy Curry – $1,000 a Month Cable Bill
This one starts the list off more like an honorable mention, because it just makes so little sense. While the thousand a month is just chump change to most basketball players, one has to ask: how the hell does one accumulate a monthly cable bill of one thousand dollars?
This all came into play when Curry was ordered by a judge to pay back $1.2 million he owed to a loan company. When contesting it to the judge, he himself brought up the thousand dollar a month cable bill. Guess the dude didn’t know about the free adult entertainment online, huh? Those pay per views will really add up if you don’t pay attention.
