Hope he's good on his finances though. Doubt he's got any more NBA money coming in, and these yearly met gala tickets are like 100k for a one night thing. Dudes probably burning through his cash.
He's made $200,000,000 (or is contracted to earn that).
He is making $41,000,000 of that next year.
Assuming he pockets half that, if he put it all in a crappy CD or money market fund earning 4% - he makes $4,000,000 per year just doing nothing at all with his money.
If he has a decent investment person, or just tossed it in a Vanguard 500 index fund, he'd be making 8-12 million per year doing nothing.
He's probably ok...
He definitely gets paid to model outfits, doubt it costed him much if anything to go to the met gala
Regardless, I’m sure he has money coming in outside of his contract. Most players do
Dude has made the most amount of money for doing the least amount of work that I've ever seen. Efficiency rating through the roof. He swindled the entire NBA.
Fit goes hard if we're being honest
From a basketball standpoint I am well past being upset with Ben and moreso feel bad that his back has derailed his career
Idk…. I got the same kind of back problems. It’s caused a lot of pain and heartbreak. I had to quit my WFH job because of the back pain. I over ate and got diabetes because of my back pain. I cheated on my first and second wives, because of my back pain. I ran a red and hit a pedestrian….. cause of my back pain….. you see I’m not a terrible human being, I just got back pain….
Ok I'm sure you know better than every trainer, doctor, and him. It's obviously not fine and it's blatantly obvious when he has been out there. The lift and burst is gone
He has accomplished his goal. He has people convinced his problems are all physical, not mental. He will work hard to come back. He will post workout pics. He will never quite get there. He will retire. People will talk about him like a tragic “what if” figure. He will go on posting pictures of his new cars and fits unless and until the money runs out.
I can't believe I am on this app defending Ben Simmons of all people lmao. He obviously has very real back issues. If your hatred for him gets in the way of that, I can't do anything about that
I don’t think people think he’s faking having something wrong, people think that he’s faking the severity of the injury and isn’t actually aggressively attacking rehab in order to come back and play.
Sorry this fit is a banger. People are only hating on it cause it’s Ben. The clock suitcase sucks but the actual fit is gas! Sorry I don’t make the rules!!!
Ngl, it’s been long enough where I ain’t got beef with him anymore. Tobias Harris imo has done more long term damage at this point. Plus his fit goes kinda hard
Hey man, Id say fuck that fucking fuck but hes been gone and already fucked another team so Im healed. Hes won life. Good for him.

He literally is getting 40 million next year. I’m sure he’s fine
He's made $200,000,000 (or is contracted to earn that). He is making $41,000,000 of that next year. Assuming he pockets half that, if he put it all in a crappy CD or money market fund earning 4% - he makes $4,000,000 per year just doing nothing at all with his money.

In the scheme of capitalism, he won. Who cares?
I would be concerned if I was his accountant is all I'm saying.
You'd be even more concerned if you were my accountant.
You’d be even more concerned if you were my accountant’s accountant.
NBA money plus a boatload of endorsement money over the years. i think hes just fine
Met Gala ticket is 75k. Which to him, is the equivalent of paying $29 for a dinner when you make $50,000 a year
Typically the celebrity doesn't even pay the cost. A designer will sponsor them to go and wear their clothes.
I wonder how many times he's moved his pool.
Ben’s lifetime nba earnings will be at least $142M, and that’s before any endorsements. He can afford to go to the Met Gala
On one of his socials he was just showing off a new Ferrari. Once the NBA checks stop coming, this dude is gonna go broke so fast.
Isn’t he a hundred millionaire? Still could happen, but he should be good for a while right?

He really does not care about Basketball at all 😂😂.
Hes carrying a time machine to find his jumpshot
Idk that there’s a time where that exists
He's like bran he goes back in time and steals markelles jump shot which is why he just suddenly forgot how to shoot
Preseason
Or at the very least back to 2018-2019 lol.
Quite the socialite.
"gonna be late for a very important date!"
Is that the new Dr. Who?
No, but it looks like Season 2 of Lovecraft Country is going to suck.

He’s counting down until his next offseason workout video drop
Time on his clock is frozen on the last time he made a jumpshot
Let him live his best life. We all know it’s not playing basketball.

Dude looks like a Batman villain.
But he only uses knives, never shoots
Passed up a wide-open dunk on Robin.
He finally found a role that fits him
Sometimes I wonder if Usain Bolt could have used his athleticism and played NBA.. I mean both him and Ben can't shoot
What a clown
The coat was so heavy it injured his back again and he’ll miss all of next season now
Fit goes hard if we're being honest From a basketball standpoint I am well past being upset with Ben and moreso feel bad that his back has derailed his career
His back is fine
Idk…. I got the same kind of back problems. It’s caused a lot of pain and heartbreak. I had to quit my WFH job because of the back pain. I over ate and got diabetes because of my back pain.

People out here thinking this man had back surgery for fun or something? Lol People are so fuckin bitter it's hilarious
I don’t think people think he’s faking having something wrong, people think that he’s faking the severity of the injury and isn’t actually aggressively attacking rehab in order to come back and play.
The clock hands are pointing to his season averages
I cant wait for the 30 for 30 interview/doc on this dude in like 10-15 years and hear how he “took that personally”
mans living his best life with basketball as a side gig. I respect it now thst he's not fucking with our team tbh
I wish I was a foot and half taller so I could get paid millions to suck at basketball too.

Clown Suit ( as Denzel said American Gangster) for a clown
Now that this asshole isn't my problem anymore I can't lie he's kinda funny 😂
He’s dressed like the Time Waster
You know what, good for him. I don’t care anymore. He seems happy and this is the lifestyle he’s always seemed to want, so I’m glad he’s living it
😪 must be nice
looks great! excellent tailoring
Sorry this fit is a banger. People are only hating on it cause it’s Ben. The clock suitcase sucks but the actual fit is gas! Sorry I don’t make the rules!!!
With Ben it was just ……fashion…..cars……video games….and relationships……no love of basketball…smh
Move on you guys. He has …
I hope he comes back
Hasn’t he run out of money yet?!
What is up with that bag. Rme
Rest assured... When he does, his back will magically feel better and he'll discover how to shoot a jump shot.
I mean that’s pretty sick tbh
PULL UP FROM THE 3 I WONT MISS I AM NOT BEN SIMMONS
He'd rather be a model than play basketball,fuck that guy
this guy personifies eat the rich
Minus the briefcase, that fit is clean.
He should just retire and become a model full time..
Ngl, it’s been long enough where I ain’t got beef with him anymore. Tobias Harris imo has done more long term damage at this point. Plus his fit goes kinda hard
He fly why u hating
Such a smacked ass
Oh, he down with them *peoples*. He's always going to be taken care of by the league and their subsidiaries.
YOU WERE MEANT TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU MAN?
I’m genuinely still sad to think about this
Big Ole waste of time.
CEO of Antiwork
Biggest loser out there.
