Marshawn Lynch hasn't spent a penny of the $49.7 million in salary he has earned

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

Lynch has been living the last nine years off of endorsements and other business ventures. Lynch is estimated to earn about $5 million per year through endorsement deals with Nike, Pepsi, Skittles, Progressive, and Activision, according to Forbes.

:Save Mode, Boss:

1. Save it for his retirement years

in the meantime, he can live well enough of its accrued interest!

2. Good for him. I read a similar story about Gronkowski last year.

Is this one of the things the NFL has been suggesting to incoming rookies for a few years? If so, it's better advice than "make sure you have a fall guy".

5. Thought The Same Thing

I remember that Gronk story too. That's pretty good thinking by these guys.

3. Incredibly wise man

4. That's awesome to see.

It's sad to see these guys that end up dead broke when they are 45.

Plus, if he's "living" on 5 million a year now, that $49.7 million salary should get him about that much each year if invested well.

6. Also Depends On What Living Means

If "living" means he's buying homes now, he won't have to buy new homes every year after retirement. That will be settled business.

Also, he won't be paying 10 or 15% for representation.

7. Smart move on his part.

I guess he and Gronk have taken the lessons from the ESPN film Broke to heart.
Good on both of them.
