Antoine Walker says rap culture influenced how he spent his $108 million NBA fortune “It’s a cultural thing.” “When I came out, Jay-Z, Puffy, all the rappers… what they did is what I wanted to do.” “You see the big jewelry, the chains, the nice cars, the videos… I’m like, ‘When I get it, I’m doing that.’” “I had a car fetish.” “I’d have 8 to 10 cars at one time.” “I didn’t just buy the car. I’d put another $30,000 or $40,000 into customizing it.” “I had a watch fetish.” “I had 15 to 20 watches at one time.” “When I came into the league, there was a dress code.” “I used to get custom suits that cost $1,500 to $2,000 each.” “I made about $108 million over my career.” “But I always tell young guys, $55 million of that went to taxes.” Walker later revealed that after filing for bankruptcy, one of the lowest moments of his life was having to sell his mother’s home.
