Biography & Early Wealth Journey
While everybody declines eventually, 26-year-old OBJ is spending top dollar to postpone that decline as much as possible. His estimate above obviously isn't a precise accounting, but when you're paying doctors, trainers, massage therapists, and various specialists (NFL trainer Jamal Liggin and trainer to the stars Colt Colletti among them) to keep you in top shape, the expenses pile up.

Beckham says he's inspired by the longevity of Tom Brady's career in football, and that he wants to stay in the game at least as long. The actions he's taken obviously aren't just financial, either — his diet is about 80 percent vegetables, he focuses on flexibility rather than strength exercises, and he says he goes to sleep at 8:30 PM every night, all in the name of dedication to physical longevity.
Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts
Fortunately for Beckham, his dedication is more likely to run out than his money, thanks to a $90 million contract and plenty of lucrative endorsements, all of which add up to dropping $300,000 or so in between NFL seasons can be seen as an investment in his most important asset. And it's working, as he says in the episode:
"I feel like next year I'll be even better."
Optimism doesn't hurt when you're trying to stay fit, either.
