Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts Lives in $2K Apartment Despite $255M Contract

Despite winning the Super Bowl and having a huge $255 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Jalen Hurts chooses to live a surprisingly simple life. Instead of a luxurious mansion, he rents a modest $2,000-per-month apartment in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, just 20 minutes from Philadelphia.

This choice is quite different from the extravagant homes usually picked by top athletes.

Hurts’ money management caught attention because he earns a lot, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL. In 2021, he said, “I didn’t buy a house or anything like that when I got drafted because it was just me. I didn’t need this big place just for myself… I just got me a little apartment. Something smooth that’ll last me for the time being.”

However, it is no longer just Jalen Hurts, as the athlete proposed to his college sweetheart, Bry Burrows, last September. Despite this, the 26-year-old is reportedly still using the rental during the football season.

Meanwhile, the NFL star still invested in some real estate properties in his hometown of Humble, Texas. He first bought a home registered under his father’s name, Averion Sr., for $215,000. While the home boasts three bedrooms, it does not compare to his next purchase fitting for a millionaire’s budget.

However, Jalen Hurts does invest in real estate back in his hometown of Humble, Texas. He bought a big $6 million house that is 6,000 square feet and sits on 10 acres. It has six bedrooms, bathrooms, a large swimming pool, and a garage for four cars.

He also bought the house next door for $2.68 million and another property in Houston under his mother’s name.

Even with these big purchases, Hurts’ choice to keep things simple during the football season and his smart spending habits show a level of careful money management not often seen in top athletes.
