dumb ass

Can’t for the life of me figure out…why in the HELL these celebrities would get loans or rent houses and cars instead of paying for them in cash and straight out owned them. BIG DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!!

perfect example of what exessive overspending not handling your managing your money can do to ANYONE. (T-Pain, take note….)

HE MUST BE FROM ATLANTA!!!!

I WONDER IF THE CHURCH HE TIDE $20 MILLION DOLLARS TO WILL HELP HIM OUT?

Damn! – perfect example of what exessive overspending and not managing your money can do to ANYONE. (T-Pain, take note….)

This so sad…. just by a nice 5 bedroom/5 bathroom home for 2 million paid in full!!!….I don’t these stupid stories of black folks that overspend and live beyond their means….Oh wait, that’s most black folks….and the cycle continues…

@Joh D Hater….To answer your question…HELL NO… that church is so selfish….they dont even help members of the church with bills.

Damn, he should have moved all of his kids and their kids in and that would have cut down on the money going out.

It was sad a few months back to hear of his misfortunes, but to see it all on the Internet is heartbreaking. My husband is Evander’s nephew (their moms are sisters, last name is Holyfield, he’s 100% family)… He was living above his means and that’s what happens. He cut off the majority of the family about 7 years ago though. My husband idolized him, even took up boxing to be just like him. It hurt my husband when Evander “lost” contact but life goes on. We’re truly sad for him, he has kids, child support, etc… but that’s the problem with these “rich” people. They spend their money frivolously and that’s not smart, obviously. If I were rich I’d be working and investing to become “wealthy”… There’s a difference.

The Bible says a fool and his money will soon part.

We talking Creflo Dollar.

CREFLO AINT HELPING NOBODY OUT!! HE GOT HIS HAND OUT JUST LIKE ERYBODY ELSE!!!

Thats what I love about Jehovah Witnesses.You don,t have any of this materialistic shit,no tithes or whatever its called is requested.They go door to door,and they study with you to understand the bible completely-unlike these tithe churches with a telemarketer/preacher trying to brainwash you into giving all of your money away-so that he can drive a Bentley.Although I,m not a Witness.Its the closest thing to the truth to me,as I have been to both Catholic,and baptists,whos preachers only tickle your ear for money.You don,t even know where your so called tithes is actually going.Every month at the Kingdom hall.The Elder who is speaking breaks down every last penny of the money that comes in,and where it is going-electric,heat,building costs,and shows proof.

why does this keep happening to our brothas?

================================================
While some may use that “I’m not giving money because I don’t know where it’s going” as an excuse to not pay tithes, those who are mature in their faith and truly walking in God’s path aren’t worried about that. I pay my tithes and offering religiously, never wondering where it’s going because every time I go to church the building is still open, the air or heat is still on, the restrooms are clean, etc… So if they use my tithes to keep up maintenance then so be it. God ordained tithes. Do people really expect for their money to be sent to heaven for God, himself to spend? Never once have I went hungry, broke, or in need because I pay my tithes and God makes provisions. I give because that’s what the Bible says, and MY beliefs are further validated when I read my precious Bible, namely,
Luke 6:38-
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Yes, Evander gave money to the church but he also has numerous children out of wedlock, and was living above his means trying to show off and show out. God was not pleased. But I guarantee you that if he starts to follow God and strive to be in his perfect will, God will bless him… Within his means.

@Married_Mommy–do you live in ATL? I went to high school with a guy who was related to Evander Holyfield. We dated for awhile but he moved and we lost touch. I wonder if it’s your husband? BTW, I’m not trying to start drama, just wondering. I’m happily married but the guy I dated was related to E.H. and your post reminded me of him.
Stay Blessed, and You Have A Beautiful Baby!

Why keep a house that big – if no one is using it – it doesn’t make sense. He should’ve been sold that house and brought something a little more managable. There are plenty of beautiful smaller homes. Shoot, a house with 100 rooms is still smaller than a house with 160 rooms if it’s space he needs. Really, he had to see this coming – he should’ve sold that home a few years back.

It’s not the acquiring of these things, it’s the maintenance – heat, light, water, tax, repair bills etc. How many rooms can you sleep in, how many cars can you drive at the same time?

Hope he doesn’t get broke coz I wouldn’t piss on his even if he was on fire – fool!

typical idiot

Evander should ask Creflo Dollar to help him out. That’s who he gave a large portion of his money to.

That’s what happens when you spend your money foolishly. It’s sad that a Christian would make a decision so deadblasting STUPID!!!! Lord, help your people! Anybody that does something that stupid needs to be homeless!

Maybe he should sell a piece of that bit off ear on Ebay….

@ Moni Chris:

Though I agree with the sentiment, the Bible does not say that a fool and his money will soon part. That was just a quote of the poem “Five Points of Good Husbandry” by Thomas Tusser.

Turn that house into a bed and breakfast joint. It would be sold out for months. Add in the fact that Evander might be there at any given time, it will add to the ambiance and mystery.

@ Gimmeabreak78 I don’t what Bible your reading, but you will find a fool and his money will soon part ways in Proverbs. I would tell where at in Proverbs, but it seems as though you need to read it again anyway Enjoy your search!

Luxury is hard sweat and work to make but maintaining that luxury is where many have a big problem. Why get a big mansion like that with all those rooms for what? Is it just a show off type of thing to let us know who He is? Having seen who He really is now, its a damn shame to see him not being able to handle the finances for such a big mansion. He could have saved more money by getting a smaller less pricy mansion so he can avoid being homeless if the forclosure on that big mansion goes through and he has to move out.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SAYING IS IN THE BIBLE. IT IS A OLD SAYING.

Just because you have the money to build and buy these ridiculously priced homes doesn’t mean that you should!!! Why don’t people save their money anymore and make SMART investments? I just don’t get it. I have no sympathy for the Holyfield’s of the worlds because there is no reason that they should be broke. He has no nest egg to live off on, and on top of that he wouldn’t stop raw doggin’ these females so now he owes child support up the a$$!! Boxing is a dangerous thing – his head got beat up one time too many! And please stop with the “come backs” Evander and figure out a different way to make money, you’re embarrassing yourself now!!

For real, though, THEIR broke is not like OUR broke…(lol), and yall know thats true. So he moves from a 10 million dollar home to a 2 million dollar home….dont let the term “BROKE” used so loosely fool you!!!

@ Rrrrroe Ski Love-

Sorry to disappoint you, but “A fool and his money are soon parted” is not in the Bible. Perhaps you are the one who should crack it open every now and again. Or at least google it.

Robert, I hear ya, on the JW’s they are not all that either, all have their short comings. Not promoting college for our children, ok to drink, but not smoke..come on.

@Niggtarded

Who raised you?

That could be reason for black people who have money,to honestly most of them are not smart in spending money,why dont they help poor people insteady of missusing the money,people they die for lack of food,that could be a reason to other

A year ago he was on the Tom Jorner morning show bragging about being the only boxer to earn 200 million dollars. I guess the money went to all those dang kids.

Hear about Evander Holyfield sister dieing? Understand he wouldn’t help her financially and she worried herself to death.
