We may be living in a material world, but Adrian Peterson is not a material girl. Or boy. Or super-rich football player.
The Minnesota Vikings running back told SI.com's Jimmy Traina that he had yet to buy anything special since signing a $100 million contract extension in September. Not a new car or an iPad or anything.
During an appearance on the Hot Clicks podcast, Peterson revealed his saving ways:
"I actually haven't purchased anything yet. Haven't bought anything yet. I like to sit back and let my money grow, so I'm going to sit on it for a minute. Something might pop up that I want to purchase, it might be a good investment or something, I don't know, we'll see. As of now, I'm just watching it build up in my account.
"I gotta look out for my family … so I have to be smart about it."
What? No, what your family needs is nine cars, four houses, 200 hours on NetJets, a butler who only folds pajamas and a walk-in cheese cave. Anything else for a family whose main breadwinner has $36 million in guaranteed money coming to him is tantamount to deprivation.
