if your net worth was $400,000,000 would you sell stuff on TV ads ?

My personal favorite is they get these big time ex athletes on Shark Tank. Like they didn't make their money from savvy business deals, they made it from being 1 of the top paid guys in the sport. Barkley and Alex Rodriguez. I know they only do it to have as many non whites as possible on the show but those guys are hardly business tycoons.

Those guys get paid very well to wear a shirt for a day or go to do 8 minute interview on ESPN and then pump the product for 30 seconds at the end. It is corny though.

Adam Thielen is on first take now with a hormel chili shirt on. Haha.

Nothing like pimping some 99 cent high sodium chili for a few bucks.

No matter what anyone makes (including myself) they always want a little more. Nothing wrong with that

So the guy you pick to single out was an undrafted NFL player who worked his ass off and became and all-pro. By far my favorite current NFL player. Plays hard every down and doesn't complain.

Why don't you talk about all of the stupid Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercials? Like anyone is going to go to State Farm because that unlikeable prick is endorsing it? He is such a great guy.....he doesn't even speak with his family.

Wooooo there. Didn't mean to trigger you. It doesnt bother me. Just conversation.


I don't see how these companies benefit from that huge expense. And State Farm is horrible. They are always the highest. Who gets state farm because a famous qb does ads for them.

I agree when it comes to INSURANCE. I hate all the BIG NAMES that they use to make money. I haven't seem GEICO use a famous person yet. It may be out there and I've missed it. They use a little green animal (gecko) and aren't really cheaper, but at least I don't see a Multi Millionaire person out there making money. (It all in the back offices I guess)

Leno touts Lifelock

Shaq does stuff for like muscle strain oinments

I can see lower level ex-jocks like a Joe Namath doing this since he played back when salaries weren't so ridicurously high, or the Vegas pawnshop guy touting Lifelock.

If I had 400 millionI wouldn't tout stuff on TV commercials, it's kind of tacky, IMO !

I like Thielen a lot too, but I do seem to remember him complaining about Cousins and not getting the ball earlier this year.

I made over $120,000 last year, yet I'm in drive-through line getting 2 for $4 Bacon egg and cheese croissants at Burger King... everything is relative.

I would not be surprised if their thinking is something along the line of justifying some luxuries. For example, when my gambling bankroll is very large, I might think to myself - if I make another $500, I am going to buy a laptop - but not unless I make that $500. Leno or Shaq might be thinking... I am going to buy my niece a new car, but not off my regular income. This commercial is going to finance some gifts. I m well aware they can afford to buy as many cars as they want without "feeling" it... But that last time my roll was up around 17k... I remember buying luxuries down to 15k and then repeating the process for anything above 15k.

Who's to say for sure, but I know that's how I think when I am rolling

Side note - I usually degen my roll before i get to that luxury point !
