10. Eddy Curry – $70,000,000
Based on his appearance, one could guess that Eddy Curry may have eaten his money. While that’s not exactly what happened, the truth isn’t much better. First, there was the foreclosure on the home that he took out a $4 million mortgage on. Apparently, he couldn’t handle the $25,000 monthly payment. Then came the sexual harassment lawsuit by his former chauffeur, David Kuchinsky, who accused Curry of asking Kuchinsky to dispose of dirty towels that Curry had ejaculated into, and referring to Kuchinsky by a bevy of racial slurs (including “white slave” and “grandmaster of the KKK,” among others). Besides the awful treatment just described, Kuchinsky also claimed that Curry owed him nearly $100,000 in salary. But it doesn’t stop there…
There’s the personal chef he pays $6,000 a month (that explains the waistline), the luxury cars (a pair of Land Rovers and a Phantom convertible), and the $16,000 stipend he gives to at least 5 relatives. And last but not least, the seven children from three different women (although, in fairness, four of the children are with his current wife, Patrice Curry). It’s sad to see how many players on this list received a majority of their salary from the Knicks.
