Worst Money Managers #3

Eddy Curry


Eddy Curry hasn’t exactly had a successful basketball career, and his money management may be even more suspect. He took an 85% interest loan for $570k in Las Vegas (only place an interest loan like that is legal). In the end, Eddy Curry didn’t pay any of it back even though he was making 10 million dollars a year. What did Eddy spend his fortune on? A private chef, 17k a month RENT for his place in New York, owing Juwan Howard $350k, and $30k on just general stuff every month. No big, ya know, normal stuff. On top of all that, Eddy loses another $10k during a break in (which also happened to another member on this prestigious list). He also took some expensive 3 point shooting lessons from Jay Williams, from what I understand. It’s sad when a lawsuit for whipping it out for your limo driver and breaking an exercise ball are the least of your problems.
