With three NBA championships and close to $200 million in career earnings to his name, Dwyane Wade knows a thing or two about being a successful professional athlete.
But the 13-time All-Star says it took him years to feel like he knew what he was doing when it came to his finances.
Wade, who was drafted by the Miami Heat when he was 21, says that it took him more than half a decade in the NBA "to even start to understand" how to manage his millions.
"I came into the league as someone who had never really handled more than $500 at a time, and [suddenly] I'm making millions of dollars," Wade says.
Knowing who to take money advice from was difficult when he himself knew "nothing at all" about the subject.
