I see nothing in this accounting for the chunk of change that Juanita took.

I could never say that about KG. Even though he is a great player. In some way even in his prime he is Joakim Noah with a jump shot and a little better post game. Outside of that they have the exact same skill set.

lol no, I go to school in Seattle and I drove past his beach house, and its the size of a small college, AND THATS JUST HIS BEACH HOUSE. This guy is still very very wealthy. I took pictures and will upload them later.

i didn't say all of it.

even if he gave 99% of it to charity, he'd still have 100's of millions.....which could buy a beach house a couple square miles bigger than the one you're referring to.


He's given about 1/3rd of his wealth away. Or about a half if you value it at what it would be worth today rather than the amount he gave away at the time.

Hes pledged to give almost all of his money away. It doesnt mean that hes going to live in poverty. Even if he keeps a billion he can live like a king.

Gates got ripped off. That's a beach house? He needs to see LeBron's real estate agent.

^ It was the view, not the pool. lol -- I can't find that link to the views LBJ has of the Miami waterfront. That in and of itself is awesome but I'm pretty sure Gates' view isn't too shabby either. lol

LBJ makes a ridiculous amount of $ but, isn't even close to the Billions Mark has made.

Also 1 thing people always forget about Mr. Gates is regardless of how much $ he has made, he has and will donate a very high % of it to charity....simply amazing.


another amazing thing is you're alot less likely to succeed as an athlete.

Success is defined differently to each and every one of us. There is no one definition that equates to success. We all measure it in different regards.


like MJ's first NBA champ in 1995, right ? :D
