Terrell Owens In GQ: I'm In Hell | ThePostGame

While Ive read a couple articles including this one yesterday, my question still remains, where did the 80 million dollars go? He has yet to explain it. Im not buying him not living lavishly, I watched his show several times, and he was always spending major money and flaunting. I watched as he bought a pair of earrings or earring for something like 90k at a upscale jewelry store. 4 kids, 4 different women? He gets zero sympathy from me and deserves everything he gets...

Trying to keep TO from blowing all his money would be like trying to turn a whore into a housewife. It aint happening. Couldn't have happened to finer fella.

Short answer I'm guess to his kids.... all what 11? JK wasn't it like 5 or 6? But think about it if he goes to each court and they make him pay based off of what he earned each year for each individual child from different women then it could have gotten costly. Then there is whatever he purchased house, car, etc...

It doesn't sound like he lost the bulk of his money spending it, he lost most of it through poor investing. And that's the funny thing; it makes you wonder how much is enough? When you start piling up that kind of money, tens of millions of dollars, why feel the need to invest it? Hell, if you were to simply put 50 million dollars in a savings account with 2% interest, at the end of the year you'd have 51 million dollars! You'd be basically be making a million dollars a year by doing NOTHING with it.

I never liked T.O. but he gets some sympathy from me here (not on the 4 kids from 4 women thing though). A lot of these guys end up trusting the wrong people with their money and end up getting in bad investments. All the hard work and sacrifice they put in to get to NFL and they end up with nothing.

You've got a big heart JonTrem, but I can see what you mean. And it sounds like the mistake TO made here was trusting Rosenhaus. A guy as savvy as Rosenhaus knows what he's doing in all matters concerning money. If he suggested TO invest money with people who lost all that money, you know that Rosenhaus was telling those guys that TO's a sucker and they have nothing to lose. Hell, his investors probably still have a shit ton of his money.

4 kids by 4 different women is just ridiculous. Wear a hat or learn how to pull out!!!

It's not unreasonable speculation that he's had sex with more than just the 4 women who has had kids with him.

I don't think it's impossible that the a woman can "sabatoge" a condom if they think some profit is involved. If a woman can get essentially a whole year's income just by having a baby with a millionaire, some would at least fathom the temptation. Now of course, I don't really know what went on in each specific case, but I don't think T.O does not know about contraception.

Ok, but even if someone does give him a one year deal for the vet minimum, that won't last him for the rest of his life. He can't live off of that forever. It's time to get a 9-5 like the rest of us T.O.

[mredskins]

Wow! Just color me shocked! Wow!

[Alvin Walton]

Zero sympathy here.
The guy was a total dick.

[MTK]

Hard to feel bad for someone who had incredible wealth and blew it.

While it may not be easy to manage that kind of wealth on your own... you hire the right people, don't put all your eggs in one basket, and you don't buy ridiculous stuff you don't need!!
