NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will make more than $48million this season – but he clearly still appreciates a good deal as he was spotted in the ‘low price’ section of a New York City Target on Saturday.
The Bucks star, who recently returned from the Olympics in Paris, was seen in a FiDi location of the store getting some shopping done.
And an observer even told Mail Sport that the ‘Greek Freak’ was sure to use his Target rewards number as he checked out.
Antetokounmpo has made more than $234million in on-court earnings, per Spotrac, and also has endorsement deals with Nike and Google Pixel.
He’s invested into Nashville SC and the Milwaukee Brewers as well, among other business ventures that he’s poured money into.
The 29-year-old grew up in extreme poverty in Athens after his parents immigrated to Greece from Nigeria.
‘Cheap for myself, yes. For me, I don’t care, I don’t care about material,’ he said on Serge Ibaka’s ‘How hungry are you?’ show.
Former teammate Brandon Knight recalled in a 2014 Grantland feature that a young Antetokounmpo would take home ‘six or seven’ boxes of free food home from the Bucks players’ lounge.
He recently returned from the Olympics, where his Greece lost to Germany in the quarterfinal
There’s also a now-famous anecdote relayed to Sports Illustrated, in which a rookie Antetokounmpo was spotted running to the Bucks’ arena (until a couple spotted him and gave him a ride) on a gameday, after he had wired money to his family back in Greece and realized he’d reached his ATM limit.
