One of the wealthiest NBA players of all time is someone you may have never heard of, his name is Junior Bridgeman. He played for the Bucks throughout the 70's and 80's never making more than $350,000 a year. That is obviously quite a bit of money, but he managed to turn that into hundreds of restaurants and businesses and now he is worth an astounding 600 million.

I'm 90 years old and I knew Junior Bridgeman when he was playing. I also knew that he was one of the richer player due to his business savvy.

[ecwcof]

He is a legend and great man, he employs over 9800 people. He continues to inspire and help people make a living. That’s what great people do! WE ARE EC. WASHINGTON SENATORS!!!

This man and Bob Smith should tour Middle and High Schools as time permits. America's youth needs to see more men LIKE THESE.

A very wise man and visionary, he didn't depend on his NBA salary, instead he invested on the right places. Just a great man all around.

I was stepping out of an elevator one day, downtown in Milwaukee and a gentleman walked in, I looked up and said hello Sir, it was Mr. Bridgeman, from the Milwaukee Bucks I was awe struck...

[leebowens]

Junior Bridgeman ! I remember when the Bucks got him, he was out of Louisville, great shooter and invested in Wendy's fast food restaurants and got rich, I've been a Bucks fan forever being born in the city in the middle 1950's

I hate those stories about sports stars that made millions of dollars and are now broke this story makes me feel good

[Greyareas]

They shouldn't presume nobody has ever heard of him. Junior Bridgeman was not a star, , but was a very good player with the Bucks. Glad to see a player so successful in the business world.

Junior Bridgman is on par with Magic Johnson and Roger Staubach as far as being a pro athlete that became rich in business.With out the benefit of huge endorsement deals from his playing days.

[Ace-vfuf]

Well done sir and a smart, savvy and intelligent businessman he is. My people, a good education will never decay hence this man’s position in life at the moment.

[overlord]

I love stories like this . . . David Bing is another great success story!

[gregorywilson]

His team-mate Sidney Moncrief did well also owning several dealerships and restaurants after his playing days.

I remember Junior Bridgeman from the great Louisville teams of the 70's Denny Crum era. I loved the "jump out of the gym" athletes that were vintage Louisville type players.

[primetestimonychannel]

Not all Athletes are "Dumb Jocks". NBA's Jamal Mashburn did the basically the same thing, even though Jamal made more money in the NBA and played longer.
