NFL fans are amazed after learning that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl 59 MVP Jalen Hurts lives in a modest and traditional home.
Most high-profile celebrities with tens of millions of dollars in their bank accounts usually have multiple luxurious homes — including a mansion. But Jalen Hurts doesn’t need such a home to be happy and comfortable.
Hurts signed a five-year contract extension worth $255 million in the 2023 offseason. Throw in endorsements and the fact he’s playing his way to another nine-figure extension down the road, and Hurts could easily buy himself multiple mansions and still be comfortable financially.
The popular ML Football X/Twitter account shared a post about Hurts’ living situation: He’s currently renting a home worth $2,000 a month and bought his parents a home in Houston worth $215,000:
🚨TRENDING: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts reportedly still lives in a very cheap $2k-per-month rental place in Philly.
He bought a $215K home in Houston for his family & he-lived there with his parents during the off-season.

“Money management is a big deal when you have that kind of purse thrown at you. Some people live it up, others live within. This is cool to hear and see,” said another.
