It sure looks like Ward did not have a good financial advisor, and is now broke.
But you never can be sure. I know a guy who was high up in city government. He had an important job, and was always busy. Then after he retired, he starting doing all these crazy illegal things. I guess he was just bored.
He didn’t stop until he was arrested.
We see these big $$$ contracts in sports, all sports, from an outsider’s point of view.
They don’t get that $$$ in total. Uncle Sam gets a huge chunk right off the top, about 40%. Then the states and cities that the PLAY IN, not live in, gets their share when they come to town. Then, the state and municipalities they actually live in gets their cut. And their agent gets his 10-15% cut. So in the end he didn’t actually get $17 million, he got about a third of that........................

Looks like Ward left his finances up to one his homies from the ‘hood.
