    Well at least he's trying to put his life together now instead of being all mopey about how much money is gone. Also looks like he may have overcome his alcoholism. Seen too many former sports players continue to sink. What's Vin is doing now is respectable.

    $100 million salary, $50 million after taxes, $45 million after agent fees, $25 million after helping out family and friends, $20 million unknowingly stolen by financial advisors/friends/family/wife, that leaves him with $5 million. No wonder he went broke.

    He became a scrub after he got that contract. He will likely be an unmotivated failure for the rest of his life.

    Vin Baker was/is a piece of shit. Just like Shawn Kemp and Derrick Coleman.

    He had enough money to buy a house he and his wife live in, and he works a modest job to make money for his day to day and to keep busy (because sitting idle at home isn't good for him). He has wife, kids, and he's happy. Considering he was on a path that was going to leave him penniliess and dead i think this is probably better.

    I REALLY hoping you're trolling.

    The typical salary for a Starbucks Store Manager ranges from $36,000-$71,470, with an average salary of $48,696. Salaries estimates based on 612 salary submitted anonymously to Glassdoor by Starbucks Store Manager employees.

    Someone should tell him Starbucks doesn't serve alcohol.
