Ok, so let's say after expenses and taxes he earned an extra $3000 / week, another $150k / year which adds another million to his net worth, taking his $200k to $700k (another $500k goes to ex wife). Still a far cry from $2 million.
Nope, I said a minimum of $300k per year for five years and then a minimum of $150k for the next five years. When half of their appearances are in anohter country, do you think they really declare their income from promoters overseas which the IRS does not track down?
Also, how much of photo sales do they really declare - it's all cash and no receipts or records are kept. I'm talking about an extra $2 million after tax over the 10 years. The divorce was in 2002, so a bit less than half would go to the wife, for example $800k. So add $1.2 million to your $200k figure and you get $1.4 million. There's also appreciation of his mansion that he had for about 8 years that we aren't including here, which could easily be $600k putting us at $2 million. Not such a far cry after all
Besides, my point was to prove that you DO NOT need $2 million to drive a Toyota and have a house, which you in turn seemed to miss. Hey, I said it's possible he's a millionaire and if he is, good for him. If he is, he certainly doesn't know how to enjoy his money. Things don't add up with his claims and his behaviour. My theory is as good as yours without proof.
If you want to keep retirement funds and not replenish them you would need about that much in a relatively low risk investment to get the returns necessary to be 300 lbs with abs in San Diego even with an average house and car when you're not working
