Savers vs Spenders: These Pro Athletes Spend Their Money Very Differently - Page 23 of 54

Saver: Trey Burke

Selected ninth overall in the 2013 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz, Burke literally became a millionaire overnight. But even with the lucrative contract, he chose to receive an allowance of around only $5K per month.

In hindsight, the move proved to be a smart decision, as he was demoted to the D-League while a member of New York Knicks. However, Burke worked hard and managed to claw his way back into the league thereafter.
