When he got his first NFL million, the Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ first order of business was to hit the mall, where he bought a $13 Larry’s cheesesteak and several bomber jackets. “All the Philadelphia gear I got probably added up to like $1,000,” Hurts revealed in an interview with GQ Sports. Hurts also acquired a handful of authentic accessories and footwear, amounting to $30,000.
A good chunk of his first seven-figure income went into philanthropy. In collaboration with the Philadelphia-based charity Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Hurts made a $30,000 contribution toward a young cancer survivor’s family home. “For charities and giving back in my rookie year, $60k. It’s what matters the most.” Hurts declared in his GQ Sports conversation.

Of course, he had to budget for utilities, which set him back to the tune of $30,000. Hurts opted out of purchasing major real estate at the time. Instead, he got an apartment to keep him going for a while. To secure the services of his business associates, Hurts spent $20,000, and an additional $10,000 to keep his body fit. $15,000 was put toward revamping his parents’ house, and his brother received a $1,000 wedding gift. The rest went into savings, with a promise of more help for his family.
