Yo everyone that has a brain knows there’s taxes and 15 million a year on a budget a average FAMILY would make that last over 15 years

@maecsdd5273 4 года назад

And that’s minimum at spending 200k a year you can male that last over 30 years and Curry gets that every year. I think curry is doing fine

@leongaines3805 6 лет назад

You are acting like they still aren’t making 6+ figures. I would still take that money 10/10 times. No questions asked. You could live off 15 mil for many years

The crazy thing is that it only grows more and more. The salary is nothing. Just see their net worth’s! And btw there is so many ways to do so you almost don’t pay any taxes which I really think the most athletes take part of

@CoachNick 4 года назад

the stars make absurd amounts, the average player though I calculate around $1,000/hour ish (if im remembering right) and that's not including taxes. Avg player spends about 5 years in the NBA making 5 million or so per year. . .but when u calculate off-court activity + practice etc., it's less than peeps think imho. not to say they still dont make a decent amount, but!

@nicholassapphire2022 6 лет назад

Escrow is a self inflicted expense, and 401k isn't an expense. that's his retirement plan, and I'm pretty sure Steph can hire a competent agent for less than 900k a year. Let's be real here. If Steph Curry goes broke, it's not because of his income, it's because of his expenses.

@mikelee7912 6 лет назад

Make a video on how much owners make. I never understood how you can loose money owning a NBA team and why you would keep the team if it's loosing money.

@noname-qw9fl 6 лет назад

darius jones they probably get their money back from jersey sales,ticket sales,sponsor and maybe ad revenue

@airjones45 6 лет назад

-/-/-3 1 Their was a leaked report by that far guy who covers the Lakers I can't remember his name but it showed 9 NBA teams lost money last year with three of them being playoff teams and one being the Cavs. They don't all make money some of teams are in the negative. Whats the strategy behind keeping a team that looses millions every year? Why do some of these teams even though their loosing money continue to remain in the luxury tax. The Hawks are a team that I think was on the list for teams that didn't make money. They let Paul Millsap walk for nothing and traded Kyle Korver away so they wouldn't have to pay him when his contract expires. Then Dwight Howard gets traded my guess is they signed him because they thought he would boost ticket sales as a bigger name but when they saw that wasn't working they traded him. On the other end OKC reported they weren't making money and they decided to offer Russell Westbrook the biggest contract in NBA history at the time and traded for two more big name players one who will command the max and the other alot of money as well. Explain to me how much nba owners make and why they make the decisions that they do from a business perspective.

@carmeloanthony4153 6 лет назад

darius jones you don't actually lose your own money. You just make far less income than you normally would if that's the case and that's because less fans are showing up to games and less of the player's and arenas' merch is being brought.

@carmeloanthony4153 6 лет назад

darius jones if an owner made say 100,000 a month or something like that. Losing money would be that he makes 80,000 now

@airjones45 6 лет назад

Carmelo Anthony That's not loosing money that's a decrease in revenue. The article said they lost money. Honestly even without the article I know some teams aren't that profitable because owners wouldn't be selling if they were.

This video is great for covering the business aspect of contracts and how their taxes and fees play its roles. But on the outer edge, It should also be noted that highly paid athletes (as well as coaches, managers, trainers, owners, GMs, and announcers) are the sole income provider for their close and extended families. Many athletes have even taken care of their in-laws (not just mother/father, but sister/brother in-law) Insurance for cars and homes and medicine. Property taxes/rent/utilities. Technical fouls, ejections, fines, Injuries and suspensions take affect (no play, no pay).

I have worked with many CPAs in the states who have clients that are worth a large sum as well, the numbers you are crunching here is just what you perceive from the information obtained online or via some manual research. The fact of the matter is that beside tax breaks from the popular and well known means, e.g. Charity, family support, etc, there are other legal ways to lower tax obligations. These are all legitimate and not some falsifying of documentations, etc. If you are worth a pretty penny as well, you will find that the actual taxes payable seem to be lesser than what you expect if you get a good CPA. Huge accounting firms that are elites in the industry are not just for show, this is what they do and how they justify their somewhat obscene retaining fee.

@st8of1der 6 лет назад

The title is a bit misleading. Perhaps it would be more fitting to say that it's how much they KEEP rather than how much they make. It is common knowledge that income is taxed, higher income is taxed at a higher rate, and different states and situations result in different overall amounts that have to be paid (good info on players being taxed for games they play in states other than their home state for the games they play there; I had never heard of that). These taxes are paid on the money someone MAKES, so saying how much they really MAKE seems to assume that there is something other than taxes that would be impacting the amount they are paid before taxes or, perhaps some kind of discussion about what they get beyond their salary such as endorsements (though I suspect that this does not apply to all players). Aside from this small issue of the title, it was a decent video, especially for those who don't consider or are unaware of how taxes impact income at those levels.
