dollars put into his mouth with diamond encrusted hardware. I know, not as bad as the two billionaires going into space but, come on
1.8 million in his mouth??
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly spent $1.8 million for natural porcelain veneers encrusted with diamonds as part of a "full mouth reconstruction" to replace 28 teeth.
TMZ Sports reported Sunday that Beckham enlisted celebrity dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly, who previously worked for musicians Post Malone and Chris Brown, to handle the process, which included 13-carat diamonds.

He seems on route to being another athlete who made millions while playing but ends up broke.

(20,148 posts)For a wide receiver, he's approaching retirement age. His net worth is estimated to be $25 Million (after 7 years, shouldn't it be more?), so he just spent 7% of his net worth on a tacky grill.
