Eddy Curry
Not exactly a purchase in that he never brought anything, but still pretty dumb considering the former NBA player agreed to take out a loan with an interest rate of 85%!
After borrowing $575,000 from a loan company, Eddy Curry’s debt ended ballooning to $1.2 million, and that’s not exactly the worst part. After being taken to court, the former No. 4 pick in the 2001 draft reasoned that he wasn’t able to pay them back because he had other bills and expenses to account for. His cable television bill, for example, cost him well over $1,000 a month.
Having made an estimated $70 million in his career, you’d think that Eddy Curry would’ve hired himself a financial adviser. But then again, none of the other guys on this list probably ever did.
