Boris Becker is Skint.....What's That All About?

I didn't know, until today, that BB was made bankrupt.

One of the most successful players in his time and the highest paid sportsmen is skint.

How can someone blow that sort of money?

Fool.

Anyone can lose their money if they are badly advised or don't seek advice. I think people tend to live up to what they earn too and if they stop earning do much ......... It's inevitable really.

My Gran always said "If you spend 75p for every £1 you earn you'll be fine"

I wish I'd listened

There are stories of lost investments in Nigeria and Ghana, so maybe just bad accountancy advice?

Many rich people actually own very little they rent homes rather than buy.
