Should Never Mention Me
He listed his house for sale the other week 
They trying to publicly shame breh. Highly doubt he is broke.
I doubt this. Seems like it’s just hate
Obviously he’s not broke broke but things like an $18 million house seem crazy when the money stops
Ben Simmons quietly buys a Hidden Hills farmhouse for $17.5 million

Sixers star Ben Simmons plays basketball in Philadelphia, but he recently picked up a West Coast outpost, quietly dropping $17.5 million on a brand-new farmhouse in Hidden Hills, The Times has confirmed. The deal closed off market.
The Australian point guard joins a crop of NBA stars who’ve flocked to the gated community outside L.A. including Paul George, Tyson Chandler and Dwyane Wade, who paid $17.9 million for a 17,000-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills last year.
Simmons’ place clocks in at 12,000 square feet and joins the trend of all-black farmhouses with a dramatic exterior of charcoal-colored brick along with glass and rustic wood. Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, the 1.5-acre grounds include two motor courts and a backyard with a swimming pool, spa, wood deck, patio and cabana — as well as a similarly styled guesthouse that tacks on a pool of its own.

The living spaces are about as modern as a farmhouse can get with an all-black foyer, dining area with metal chandeliers and expansive great room anchored by a floating gold fireplace. Floating stairs wrap around a bonsai tree, ascending to the top level complete with a catwalk.
One of seven bedrooms, the primary suite overlooks the entertainer’s backyard through a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass. Balconies hang off both sides of the home.
Simmons, 24, spent a year at LSU before being drafted first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2016. He won NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018 and was named an all-star in the three seasons since.
Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman held the listing. Breana Moran of Keller Williams Realty and Stephen Sweeney of SGS Estates represented Simmons.

If he was in the NFL I'd believe it. But NBA? Nah. Yes brehs go broke all the time, and they live check to check...but his contract/salary should mean he's good. Not to mention being able to live off credit, which a lot of ball players do.
Do I believe he's living beyond his means and perhaps was trying too hard to keep up with the Jenner chick, who has way more money than he does? Sure. But it's way too early for me to believe he's broke. I think this is simply someone - the team, local reporters, etc - throwing shyt out in response to the shyt Simmons' camp throws out. Like to neutralize the madness.
