Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson earned $48 million over a stellar 11-year career in the NFL.
Chad"Ochocinco" Johnson earned $48 million over a stellar 11-year career in the NFL. What's perhaps even more impressive is the fact that the former wide receiver says 80 percent of that salary is still in his bank account.
"If you don't have the foundation, if you don't have the structure and the teaching growing up then it's going to be difficult once you attain a lot of money," Johnson explains."So at that point, you're already in a dead water, you're treading water." "I've been preaching the whole financial literature thing and being financially conscious for years," Johnson says."As a rookie coming into the league, I stayed at [Paul Brown Stadium] my first two years because there was no point in spending money and wasting money when everything I need is already there."
"I didn't move out of my grandmother's house because I was content and used to where I lived," he added."I didn't move out of her house until my fourth year in the NFL."
