Aaron Hernandez – Legal Fees
NFL, CNN
In 2010, late FL star Aaron Hernandez signed a seven-year $40 million contract with the Patriots that included a $12.5 million signing bonus. Had he lived, Hernandez would have earned $1.3 million in 2014, $2.3 million in 2015, $5 million in 2016, and a whopping $6 million in 2017. Unfortunately, his NFL career ended before it even began…
As you likely know, due to the news coverage, police arrested Hernandez in 2013 on a murder charge. The Pats released him the same day, and he spent most of his money on legal fees. Horribly, Hernandez was found dead in his prison cell in 2017. At the time of his death, his net worth was $50,000, and his estate was valued at $0.
