damn she’s broke?

lol at mj and co suing jay z!!!

keep it up serena!!!

damn!!

Marion Jones must have a bad drug habit. How you lose all that money? She probably didn’t deserve to have it, anyway…

Damn @ Marion, 2,000 to your name?Well welcome to the middle-class (I guess)

Go head Rena!

No comment on the 40/40.

Damn Marion, what have you been doing……….Did you really have to sell mamma’s house.

Serena do the damn thing. “WE TAKIN’ OVAAAAAAAAAA, ONE SPORT AT A TIME”.

Jay keep makin’ that paper…….R. Kelly? Michael Jackson?, when was the last time he performed anywhere in the US?

I always thought that Jay-Z was using licensing his name to 40/40. I never really believed (and I still don’t) that he is a partner in it. I have been there and it is nothing to scream about. They smoke weed in there and I saw a lil’ kid running around in there…isn’t it a night club?!??!

I swear, our folks need to seriously get some lessons on investing and spending money. They need to learn this early on….learn about paying bills and credit, etc, etc. I mean, just because you can AFFORD a $2.5 million dollar home doesn’t mean you NEED one! Gracious.

How is Marion Jones broke? Gimme a break, she was on top of the world at one point, I guess I don’t get it.

Go Serena!!

damn thats messed up she tricked up all that money!!!

lol@michael jackson & r. kelly tryna sue Jay-z. it dont matta that man has money for decades!

Is that why Marion Jones didnt respond to my e-mail! People this is why we must teach our children about INVESTMENTS! Wow I hope ole girl can hold it down.

Go Serena, That looks like her natural hair too. It looks healthy.

y is marion jones broke? what happened?

Dang I wonder what happened with Marion?!
You go Serena, keep the haters talking!!
Success is the ultimate victory!!

@7 She could not afford that house cuz if so she would still have it. People willl buy a house for cash and not pay the property taxes or maintenance. So many people from New Orleans lost their homes because they didnt have home owners insurance. They didnt have the money to repair so they just walked away. Even after u have paid for ur home and have the title u dont own the land. Even when u think u do cuz u have to pay taxes. U r right that we must teach our kids about EXCELLENT credit, investments, spending, saving ECT!

its a shame she’s broke. her baby daddy not helping her out?

Hopefully, Marion, doesn’t end up homeless. However, I don’t feel sorry for her. Here my ass is struggling with a little ass amount of money, strecthing it to it’s last penny;also, maintaining to look sexy and fly. To turn around and hear this chick spent several millions of dollar……..

Like my mom use to say,” tough titty.”

congrat.s to Serena, keep doing your thing.

Those two child molesters, need to sit their perverted asses down.

I really wonder what was Marion doing??? how could she get rid of that money like dat…….? I dont understand.

Go Serena!

oh well, i dont think R Kelly’s “payback” will work out on Jigga. Like mzteeairah said: this guy has money 4 decades.

WTF how the hell is Marion broke that’s a damn shame!!!40/40 getting sued? WOW

Go Serena, and learn from Marion after u fall off girl. Stack that paper while u can, because u will age!
40/40?!?!?!? who cares? The damn drinks probably watered down!

Marian, dang…you banking about as much as me and I ain’t jumped a (professional) hurtle in my life

As for the 40/40 lawsuite…I don’t understand it. Is this basically a suite for false advertisement? Jay those 2 co-owners of yours are sending 40/40 to hell in a hand basket!! The one in AC gets patroled by the cops like nobody’s business. Imma need you to get over there and see what’s going down.

Marion ~ That’s a dayum shame man! Black people better learn how to invest their money instead of spending it all on lavishing, materialistic bull$hit.

Serena ~ Congratulations! You go girl!

Broke?! That’s crazy as hell…

for REAL foxxy

i hate hearing people spend thousands or even millions on unnecessary things. it reminds me of people who can hardly pay their rent, but they decide to buy a pair of 350$ shoes and they are stuggling to live. now, what kind of sense is that?

i don’t really know what’s up with marion, but really…damn.

damn, that’s a shame…..I guess marion will have to do a whole lot of running to pay off these debts she owes…then again, she should keep track of her expenses and find out why her accountant isn’t paying these bills for her……I hope she recovers from all of this mess……………..

@19 gIRL i WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, Shoot I have more in the bank than her! I mean I have a career and all but I aint neva won a gold medal!

Marion had to mismanage her money. Everybody suing Jay, I bet R was first in line.

@ #21 Andreacky,

EXACTLY! Did she not hire an accountant? People with money like that definitely need to make sure they hire a good a$$ accountant. So, if any of you celebs need an accountant, hit you girl up. I’ll hook you up. foxxy380@hotmail.com

And yes I have a degree in Accounting and is currently working in my field. I’m legit.

R.Kelly acting like a punk bitch..he stay acting like a punk bitch

Crying and shit cuz he got water on his hair backstage at the Best of Both World’s tour

And suing cuz he said Jay sprayed him with mase…R. Kelly prob the one who pulled it out of his purse to use against Jay..

lol @ foxxy your on your grind mama ! I aint mad @ you

That is a shame , how did you blow all that money like that . Hell, give me a portion of that shit and I could work it !

Jay has always struck me as the grimey type so Im not wowed by this !

I guess Marion spent all her money on them ‘roids. Damn shame.
You betta work Serena. Rep it big time.

Dang I’m sorry to hear that. I was just wondering about her the other day. Her and Maurice Greene, they were big at around the same time. Couldn’t be touched at that moment in history…I hope she bounces back.

That’s very sad to hear about Marion Jones. You live & you learn. Luckily she is still young & can overcome this.

Congrats to Serena.

that sucks. i guess she didn’t have a backup plan.

Manage your money people….and if YOU can’t…GET the right people in order to do it for you SMH!!!!

Sounds like she was a victim of “predatory lending” if I must say…………….

Poor Marion…how you go from a 2.5 million mansion to $2000 in the bank??
LOL @ everybody and they mama suing Jay Z’s 40/40 club

Bill Said:

Foxxy380, since you have a degree in Accounting could you PLEASE
explain to the CL family that
if you own several homes, supporting family & friends, and you DON’T have a steady income, that it’s very easy to lose all of your property…..

Marion Jones was pretty much blackballed in Track & Field because of the Steroid allergations.

No one would touch her.

She lost all her commercial endorsements.

I feel sorry for her. Who could have predicted her sudden downfall.

The remedy is investment Property.

Three Family homes are a great way to keep a steady income in because you can charge upwards of $900.00 a month for each apartment….

Then use the rent from one of the apartments to pay the mortgage, and then pocket the rest.

Great Buisness to own with low markup are
Dollar Stores
Nail Salon’s
Laundry Mat’s

Marion is broke because she had three spots and only needed one. You don’t need three homes when your not actively making money, she was hot seven years ago, that money wasn’t gonna last forever. I’m sad to hear it though.

Go Serena!!!!!

Not suprised at all about Jay-Z.

Marion ***SMH***

Damn 40/40 you know you gotta pay up - don’t even do it like that!

Track and field is not a lucrative sport. Beyond that, the sister probably never even got to spend any of the money from those “endorsement deals” because the government came down so hard on her about the steroids issue.

Damn, i feel sorry for Marion Jones— i thought she was still runnin’? That’s tough…

We all kno ReRe kicks ass on the court. That bitch is relentless when it comes to gettin’ her title on….

Oh Jay…. this ain’t the first time we done heard about the 40/40 club effin’ up. Someone up there is straight gankin’ $$$$ for himself. I’m jus’ sayin…

40/40 club? Rkelly and MJ? I see pedophiles stay united. Damn shame!

Marion, what’s going on? That’s messed up, keep your head up girl.

Serena, I’m proud of her!!

Wow. Just goes to show that anyone can fall on hard times. How did she spend all that money??? And she even had to sell her mom’s house! Dang!

The Marion Jones story is sad. I don’t see how you can blow millions and not have somekind of back up plan…

Im slow like hell. When did they report Marion taking steroids? I missed that whole episode. But that is really a shame. I almost feel bad for her. I know many people who struggling even more than her living here in NYC, so her situation isnt really all that shocking.
Jay,Jay,Jay. Somebody always messing with you bruh.
Yeahhhh, go Serena. Kick ass girl.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

Go Serana!!!!!!!

But why she look so plain, I have to get use to this.

She was probably trying to live too lavishly.

One more thing #6 that probably needs to be reported. Not saying anyone needs to act on it or anything…that just sounds irresponsible.

MARION NEED HER ASS BEAT AND TAKING BACK YO MOMMA’S HOUSE TOO!!

that’s crazy marion, i got more than that

damn i feel bad for her and her family i pray she gets thru this

serena is a monster on the court

jay- z ….u got caught unless the stories are not true…good luck homie for bee’s sake

Marion’s baby daddy can’t bail her out because HE is going to prison for money laundering of some sort. Go to her wikipedia page and you’ll see why she’s broke and will probably never recover that wealth every again. Probably why she went and married old boy and is pregnant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Jones

But it’s sad.

lmao at number 22 i feel u on that

I hate to see Blacks folks suffer. And, I know she must be embarrassed as all hell right now. God bless her.

This is some sad stuff. Well, she did go to college right? she better used what she majored in to get that money right!

That’s a damn shame for Marion. I mean, celebs get money and then hire 20 maids, 5 million security guards, buy 5 homes, 10 expensive ass cars, and then expect not to go broke? Money doesn’t last forever. You gotta invest in things, look for new ways to make money, save, buy stocks, not just stand there and expect it to flow in. Also, it helps not to have a drug habit lol

LOL @ the two pedophiles banding together.

Go Serena!

It’s sad but that’s what can happen. Besides she probably has all her money in an account under her mother’s name so they can’t touch it. After all that steroids mess, she lost all her endorsments. Property tax and home owner’s insurance on million dollar properties is no joke. Add that to legal fees and whatever else. If she made investments or not doesn’t matter especially with all the legal drama. Her assets could be frozen right now. We don’t know. But some of you on this site are vicious as hell. I hope you never fall down on your luck because I see no mercy in your future.

Well, I hope she was shooting up all day every day because otherwise, this would be so wrong.

I wanna put the smackdown on Marion Jones and beat her upside the head with a skillet. I can’t feel sorry for her even if I wanted to. If she wanna dope up…
Then go right ahead, but damn, don’t let yourself get so far in debt, yo mama got evicted. I mean come on. As far as I’m concerned, she had options, she could’ve been a correspondent for ESPN, a coach…. Anything. I say she’s where she is because she surrounded herself with the wrong people and didn’t plan. Not smart Marion, not smart at all. $2,000 to your name is more than what I have and I damn near work 6 days a week. I can tell you one thing though, I don’t care how bad it gets, I would do whatever I had to do if it meant not getting evicted. Forgive me for not shedding a tear for this chick. I smell an E! True Hollywood Story in her near future.

Now I forgot about the other stories. Oh yeah… Never sleep on Serena, cause trust when I say she’s doing it big.

Don’t care too much for Joe Camel or his 40/40 Club…
However, I hope he can work this out. I don’t want to see his “special friend” Larry Johnson get his feelings hurt. You know him and Jigga are BFF!

Dang Marion…. why can’t these folks buy a nice house for about $300,000-$500,000 in a nice area, and be happy with it, instead of a 2.5 million dollar crib and they know doggone well that they can’t pay for regularly?

Poor Marion Jones, no pun intended.

Well damn…Tsk tsk

Marion was probably one of the best paid track stars ever. And she had more endorsements than most. But, once she got caught in in doping charges she couldn’t run and she missed those $70 - $80K a race. She lost endorsements, and was paying big lawyers fees.

Her baby’s father’s, Tim Montgomery couldn’t help ’cause he [a gold medalist too] was banned for doping and he just went to federal prison for a bogus check cashing ring - her coach is on trial probably going too. I hope she’s not caught up in that. I’m sure she was spending a grip trying to defend Tim, so when you have a lot of $$$ going out and nothing coming in…. you go broke.

Ain’t no magic to it - She’s gonna have to downgrade and get a job.

Just goes to show how you can be on top of the world, and if you’re not careful the weight of the world can be on top of you.

On the 40/40 club thing — how is that any different from any club or business establishment paying royalities to the artists for playing their music?

Serena won today, too, and Venus, yesterday. Go Williams’!!

I wonder how Marion became broke. & i don’t really understand what 40/40’s being sued for, could u explain it in plain english, please?

how lame:)
