He needs to put a live action madden sim down there too

Great,  an NFL Quarterback that spends all his free time swimming and playing golf in his basement. 

This is why we never win anything 

[Bob Jones]

LOL. This is basically an ad for Full Swing. Saw very little of his basement, but it did look very similar to what you see at a large retail golf store.

You know you’re rich when your basement has a basement.

I bet @Royale with Cheesewishes his Mom’s basement was like that.

[JohnBonhamRocks]

That’s a long commercial

[muppy]

SWEET. A great toy available to the wealthy. I am impressed I love the technology.

[Bulldog]

I am not very interested in Josh Allen's basement - unless he has Hailee Steinfeld down there - then additional images of her would definitely interest me ...

My exact thought.  Ha.  If I liked golf at all, Id probably be looking up how much that cost

My mom lives on a slab.

 

I live in a van down by the river.

It's hard NOT to be interested in what Josh Allen has going on downstairs.

Ever notice that when these guys get the huge money, they don't waste any time spending it?

 

I thought Josh was a farm boy from northern CA?  When did he pick up these sorts of money wasting spending habits?

 

I find it weird.

 

If I came by $50 million tomorrow, I would have a hard time spending huge chunks of it on random, unneeded stuff.

 

I guess it's just the different way people are wired.

I sort of agree, but he's so filthy rich that the golf set up is probably like you or I spending $100. Unless he runs out and buys a small jet, or a bunch of Ferraris/Lamborghinis/Rolls Royces (btw, did you see that apparently Tom Bradys daily driver vehicle is a RR?), or gets crazy and buys multiple houses/properties, I don't think he could spend even a third of his new found fortune.

On the Kyle brant with Josh podcast one time last year, Allen said he only spends what his financial advisor allows him to spend.  He indicated that he has not gone crazy on a car yet, though he has some “toys” maybe a raptor which is a $100k pickup I think. He said his financial advisor is ex Syracuse QB Troy Nunes.

The small jet would be a solid pickup.  He just needs to get his PPL, then all his ratings up to jets.  Get a nice used Citation M2 and fly himself to Cali whenever.

 

Then when he's done, sell it for most of what he paid.  He'll never get this money back when he sells that house. 

[Gugny]

He’s 27-years-old and will achieve generational wealth. 
 

Although he‘ll likely lose money on this particular investment, he’s also likely to get those losses back with just one endorsement.

the Instagram video probably paid for the entire simulator set up. 
 

so I think it’s that he’s making the most of his opportunities and you don’t understand his opportunities as far as the different wiring

I don't see the issue here. He's not spending his dough on blow and hookers; he's basically getting the best training equipment he can afford for another sport he's very serious about.  Should he just have stuck with Wii golf?  Or is that also too pricy for you?  I'm pretty sure Josh is a better judge of what he "needs" than you...

Highly doubt you wouldn't spend any money on your hobbies. 

 

This is also pretty much a commercial so he prob got it for free. He also didn't just become a millionaire. He's been there for a while.

Dude.  Josh Allen's annual average value on his current contract is $43M/yr. 

 

Full Swing says their pro simulator is $55k.  Suppose there are bells and whistles and extra courses that double the cost to $110k.  That's like 0.25% (not 2.5%, 0.25%) of Josh's AAV.  It's like a person with ~$130k annual income dropping ~$300 on a Shark AI robot vac at Costco.

 

If it lets him unwind by spending 15-20 minutes in his basement practicing his golf swing instead of booking time at a local venue and driving there/driving back, it probably frees up more time for him to recover from the game and watch extra film - good use of that 0.25% of 1 years $$

two items:

 

1) I always love seeing how expenses (fines, usually) work into a players salary as to how the average Joe might absorb a similar cost

 

2) The bolded was a very random selection of salary and purchase. A good emphasis for your point
