Brown originally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May of 2024 due to debts and lawsuits.
He said at the time that he was filing in order to restructure his finances and repay his debts.
During a podcast appearance with the Nelk Boys, Brown recalled how much money he made in his career and how none of it is left.
“I think I made $100 million if you count off the field,” he said.
“How much did you spend of that $100 million?” podcast host Aaron Steinberg asked.
“Well, I just filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, so I spent all of it,” Brown responded.
“I blew all of my money. I blew everything.”
Brown claimed that all of his NFL earnings were taken away and put in accounts for his future generations.
“I just had my fun,” Brown said.
“My people in my life, they just took the money I made in the NFL and they didn’t make that money mine no more.
“They put it away for my family generations, the trusts. They just threw it out there.
“So whatever I made in football I just saved it for my family generation, my kids kids.”
NFL fans were baffled that Brown could lose all of his money and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Dumb people do dumb things,” one fan said.
“Well he taught us a lesson, nothing last forever if you don’t know how to take take care of it,” another fan said.
