I signed a big deal with a $5 million signing bonus. I used the money on a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom house in Phoenix along with furniture. I live there with my fiancee, my one year old son, and my brother who is 17. I also bought a BMW I8 for fun and a Range Rover for more practical purposes. While I know that I'm spending quite a bit of money, I have job security for the next 3 years. The next thing that I got was a house for my mom. My parents got divorced when I was really little and my dad left town. I was raised solely by my mom and I rewarded her by buying her a quaint little house up in Portland. I'm going to send her 10 grand a month to pay for expenses so she can retire early at just 45. The last thing I got was baby supplies for my child, LaMont Jr. We set up one of the bedrooms with a crib and got him a bunch of toys. I don't want to spoil him but I can't help but feel like he will be. I still have a couple million left over even after my spending spree so I'm going to put most of it in savings and take a couple thousand to buy stock in some companies I believe in.
