Dolphins’ Branden Albert Selling South Florida Home With Shoe Closet
https://www.yahoo.com/homes/news/dol...130006885.html
Deep within Branden Albert’s Davie, FL, home is a gem of a room: a shoe closet with enough space for 250 pairs of high-priced kicks. Neatly arranged on custom wood shelving as well as on floating shelves flanking a mirror are high-top sneakers and other athletic shoes, a veritable shoe salon, belonging to the Miami Dolphins‘ offensive tackle. (FYI: The framed jerseys on the wall and Albert’s shoes aren’t included in the sale. Keep dreaming.) The Pro Bowler put the five-bedroom contemporary home—which measures 5,728 square feet—on the market for $1.95 million. Kimberly Knausz is the listing agent. Newly renovated, the 10-year-old property is one of only three lakeview lots in this community about 30 minutes north of Miami. The elegant living room features a finely detailed staircase. The master bathroom has a soaking tub and a chandelier. The chef’s kitchen has an open layout and features an island, custom cabinetry, and an oversize fridge. A whopping $350,000 was spent jazzing up the backyard with a pool, Tiki hut, outdoor kitchen, lazy river, spa with jets (hot and cold), and a swim-up bar. Other top-of-the-line amenities that come with this manse that’s well-suited for a pro athlete are a retro-style barbershop (to keep your cut looking oh-so-fresh) and a home theater (cue Oscar party 2017!). |

Davie is the place where you see confederate flags and lifted trucks. It's embarrassing to admit you're from there.

Endorsements and other non game day earnings factor in as well.

Guy spends 40% of the year getting physically abused and you'll begrudge him for splurging on his home? And that's even conceding that this purchase in actually a 'splurge' (it isn't).
Let's say he loses $500K on the sale after commission - unlikely, but possible. If the guy lived there for even 2 years, he's 'wasted' $250K on the purchase. If he does that every single year for the next 40 years, it will have cost him a whopping $10 million. Shit, round it up to sixty straight years of this obviously reckless spending and it will have cost him $15 million. Well hell, that's only going to leave him another $30 or so million in lifetime earnings when all is said and done. Oh, and don't forget his annual NFLPA pension payments as a vested veteran. Even giving every last look at this the absolute worst treatment possible - terrible land speculation, rip off agency fees and essentially an annual ass-kicking, this isn't going to be enough to actually hurt Branden Albert. Dude spent money on a house - so what?

Add on the cars, wife, kids and other expensive items his post tax money doesn't look so great anymore. NFL players forget they aren't making long term, high paying income and with inflation over 3 decades that money feels at least 30% less than what it appears to be now.

If he starts setting his money on fire with 'cars and other expensive items' you're right, that's an issue. But if you're talking shit because the dude chose to live in a house that he could literally pay off twice with a single year's worth of post-tax earnings, you're just kindof an idiot.
