The NBA’s money whisperer: Dubbed “the money whisperer,” Joe McLean manages the wealth of the super-rich NBA elite. It’s his job to protect his clients' assets no matter what form they take. Their cars need customizing. Their houses need renovating. Their private bowling alleys need polishing. To retain his services though, each player must agree to put aside at least 60% of every dollar he earns. Otherwise, they’re gone. This is a really good one. “The power of paying the bills is seeing when someone’s trying to exploit them.”
