Michael Vick – One Swanky Fish Pond, $85K

At one point, this retired NFL player decided that he just had to have a fish pond at his house. Michael Vick actually paid $85k to have a custom pond built and then shelled out another $48k for the landscaping. The problem here was that he had been going through a tough time in the financial sense back then, although he continued to spend without a care in the world. In only 6 months, he spent $3.5 million and later went bankrupt. It was a good thing that he got hired to serve as an analyst on Fox NFL Kickoff for FS1 on Fox Sports back in 2017. What a relief!

Al Jefferson – One Bed, $23K

Can you just imagine how challenging it must be to look for a bed that is big enough for you when you stand at 6’10.” We are glad to hear that Al Jefferson did not have that hard of a time because he is loaded! The former Utah Jazz baller proved this when he spent $23k for a huge bed. It measured 10 feet by 12 feet! Are you aware that there are many apartments in New York City that are even smaller than that? We have no idea, however, if he brought the mattress with him when he started to play for the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association during the summer of 2018.
