How Evander Holyfield Lives Today: From $230 Million to Broke

Описание: How Evander Holyfield Lives Today: From $230 Million to Broke

Evander Holyfield made $230 million in boxing. Four-time heavyweight champion. Beat Mike Tyson twice. Survived the ear bite and came back for more.
He had a 109-room mansion on 235 acres. Eleven children. Bentleys, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces. Everything money could buy.
Today, Evander Holyfield is broke. The mansion was foreclosed in 2008. The cars are gone. The money vanished.
At 62, the Real Deal does Cameo videos for $350. Signs autographs for survival money. Lives modestly in Atlanta.
How did he lose $230 million? Child support cost $3 million per year. The mansion cost over $1 million annually in maintenance alone. Bad investments. Three divorces. The IRS came for $6 million. A hundred bad decisions that seemed justified at the time.
Holyfield didn't waste it on drugs or gambling. He lost it slowly to people he trusted, obligations he couldn't escape, and a lifestyle that couldn't stop until the money was gone.
Mike Tyson lost $400 million. Holyfield lost $230 million. Thomas Hearns lost $100 million. The pattern repeats because nobody teaches fighters how to keep what they earn.
