Troy Barnes well very likely end up either extremely wealthy or broke in a matter of a couple years, though it's hard to tell which is more likely at the moment. Let's break down why each option is likely. First we'll start with why Troy will end up broke. Troy likes to have fun and having a lot of money is something he has not experienced until recently. He did receive a small fortune when his study group member Pierce passed away. Part of the stipulation with receiving all of his possessions and substantial money was to take a boating trip around the world. It would be quite likely that Troy would spend a lot of money and in strange fashion. It's also quite possible that he would have a hard time converting dollars into other currency, leaving him open to get taken advantage of. It also stands to reason that someone could convince Troy he bought something like magic beans that will allow him to live forever for only a few million dollars. Now the case for Troy to be wealthy. It stands to reason that Troy grew up a very frugal and simple lifestyle. He doesn't buy lavish things and being a Jehovah's Witness, he wouldn't be spending money on gifts for others. Depending on who advised him, Troy could put a substantial portion of his money away into a CD or some investment that he wouldn't be able to pull out of for many years. Outside of football, Troy has a gift of repairing air conditioners. He could pick up a lucrative position doing that for a few years, giving him a nice increase in his income.
