3. Eddy Curry
Eddy Curry earned a cumulative $70,050,993 during his career with the NBA. While he was working in New York City he was paying $17,000 to rent a house in the area. He also spent $72,000 a year on his house chef, which quickly drained his millions. It also didn’t help when he entered into a five month loan agreement that carried with it an interest rate of 85%. In 2010 Curry’s wages were garnished, even though he was making an average of $10 million each year at that point.
4. Derrick Coleman
