Jay Cutler has played for the Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears as their quarterback, but he is now working with the Miami Dolphins. Alongside his transfers comes an increase in his paychecks, plus the priceless feeling that he is finally at home with his current team.
Brighter days hover over the horizon for Cutler, and those around him expect him to venture into business and make some smart investments. For now, he has bought a lavish gift for himself. It was no less than a custom Audi R8 GT worth $200,000. Celebration is in order all right!
Elvis Dumervil – Florida, Estimated $2.3 Million
Elvis Dumervil has been team hopping for a while before landing a contract with the San Francisco 49ers. It looks like he has finally found a home, but during the process of moving from the Denver Broncos to the Baltimore Ravens, he has been wise to amass hefty savings.
He has saved enough to acquire a new home without a mortgage. Plus, he made a good decision of selling his old mansion for added leverage. He sold his 9,000 sq. foot mansion for a cool sum of $2.3 million, which could have cost him a lot to maintain on the side.
Michael Strahan – Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, Estimated $525K
At the close of their careers, most super athletes that earn soaring incomes mull about slowing down in expenses beyond the sport. After all, retirement can be a long and very slow process. Exclude Michael Strahan from that list, at least when it comes to spending for his luxury car collection.
Now a famous TV personality, Strahan is a proud luxury car collector. His collection includes a gorgeous Porsche Carrera GT, a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, and a couple of his favorite Mercedes-Benzs. It is safe to say that the former New York Giants’ defensive end has not shown signs of slowing down.
Calvin Johnson – Porsche Panamera Turbo, Estimated $150K
Calvin Johnson is a former wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. For him, speed comes with the territory, which is why he got himself a car that goes from zero to sixty in just 3.2 seconds. This is quite the machine for Johnson, and that’s why it’s his favorite.
Luckily for him, he has the money to sustain such an expensive hobby. He purchased this blue speed devil upfront, without any loans. Then, he brought it to the best custom shops in the neighborhood to soup it up, dropping some hefty piles of cash directly from his pocket!
Darrelle Revis – Range Rover Evoque, Estimated $50K
Darrelle Revis is currently a free agent, and on the lookout for a team that might be better suited to him. But this doesn’t mean he is in need of a financial boost of any kind. He is smart enough to forecast such gaps between employments, and has tucked away a fair bit from when he played for teams like the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a cornerback.
Revis, in fact, has an extensive collection of cars, which includes his Range Rover Evoque, worth $50K. It is colored blood red -an eye-catcher, bold, and dashing.
