I do not think he works for ESPN any longer.

 

I'd say his ties to the network is what got them access to him.

They said Tyson earned over $400M in his career. That number blew me away considering when he was in his prime.

I still can't decide that if I won the lottery and got $100M if I'd keep my job and just spend like an idiot or if I would do the responsible thing and make smart investment decisions and save most of it. I enjoy living in the moment so it could be fun.

Tyson was as big as it got during the 80s. He was must watch television and a world icon... I can only imagine how much he would have made (and blown) had his career kick-started in the 2000s.

With a $100M you could do both if you were smart about it.

I think were most of these guys failed was they had the spend part down but not the invest part. Say you won $100M. After taxes you would have what, $55M +/-, let's call it $50M. If you invest $20M and can get at min a 3% annual return your golden. That still leaves you $30M to blow how you like.
