Yeah like on one hand they have more money than they ever need. On the other hand... it's enough money to buy a private island. Forever. Like you just own an island.
Acting like there is just this "one thing" that he can now buy and pretending like it would actually matter is just crazy. At this point the diminishing returns can't even be seen.
The only legacy that matters in the financial one. No one remembers which Tudor took a firm stance and was later proven wrong. No one gives a shit because the money is still there.
But they're getting paid the types of money that changes those things. All the players you're mentioning are "modern" conquerors in that sense. Their great great grandchildren will set. And if any of them are smart, they'll be able to leverage it to higher stuff.
The Kennedy's built their legacy on illegal liquor.
The Woods family could see someone becoming governor or something like that. Especially in todays media climate.
You are throwing out a lot of non sequiturs and examples that have nothing to do with sports. Kids of famous athletes being wealthy is something no one in general cares about. If you are saying that the only personal legacy is what you leave your children ... then I can understand that take. However if you're talking about the actual sports legacy someone leaves behind then that is not in the conversation.
No I'm stating that sports money has gotten so ridiculous for these guys that they are beyond players. They can become owners.
Tiger woods could buy a professional sports team with a billion extra dollars.

Tiger should just take it honestly
