It's not just the kids; he has a ridiculous mansion in Atlanta with something like 130 rooms and a $9,000 a month electric bill. Who knows what the taxes are on a house like that. The problem with athletes is they make millions a year and live like it. If you live right at your means and that money stops coming in, you are in trouble. I can't for the life of me understand why these guys making, say, $20 million a year don't live off the $10 million and put the other half away. They will still be living large off the $10 million and will have money set aside for their retirement. Makes no sense. A lot of fighters/athletes are like this, though. Apparently, BHop is good with his money.
