Throughout his time in the NFL, former Pittsburgh Steelers superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown earned nearly $90 million through paychecks alone. But it sounds like he is now nearly broke.
According to a report from the Times Union, Antonio Brown filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as he owes nearly $3 million to at least eight different creditors while claiming assets of less than $50,000.
“According to documents filed Monday in federal bankruptcy court in Florida, Brown owes nearly $3 million to at least eight creditors. They include a Florida truck driver who was reportedly assaulted by Brown and was awarded $1.2 million after Brown failed to appear in court for a lawsuit the truck driver filed against him. According to the documents, Brown also cannot pay at least three six-figure civil judgments,” the Times Union reported this week,
Obviously, this is horrible news for Brown, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.

"It's not about how much you make, its about how much you keep."
Most people are broke, not because of their pay, but because they're financially illiterate & irresponsible with money.
33% of millionares made less than 100k per year in their careers. Live below your means. https://t.co/TLJoviR4QC

I can’t fathom blowing $88 million in earnings in just a few short years. You’ve got to be mind blowingly stupid with money and make a ton of poor financial choices. https://t.co/4861PRot7o

Brown has been the subject of many unflattering headlines since retiring from the NFL after he exposed himself to a woman in a public pool in 2022, allegedly defrauded a jewelry store the same year, and has been accused of failing to pay a large amount of child support, to name a few of his misdeeds.
And it sounds like it has all cost him.
