Raghib Ismail, Oakland Raiders – Bad Investments
Rahib “Rocket” Ismail is yet another of the many NFL players who went broke. For those not in the know, Ismail played for the Canadian Football League for two years before coming down to the United States and playing for various NFL teams. Throughout his prolific career, Ismail amassed an estimated $20 million! However, that didn’t prevent him from losing it all just a few years later…
Once in retirement, Ismail figured it would be an excellent idea to enter the world of business. Well, had he made the right investments, it would have been a great idea. Instead, Ismail made several investments in the years following his career, from professional bull riding to cosmetic procedures, almost all of which turned out poorly. As a result, he filed for bankruptcy just a few years ago.
