“I Lost Millions Overnight”: Andy Murray Opens Up About His Biggest Financial Mistake 💸

Andy Murray’s not just a baseline basher—he’s a multimillionaire mogul who’s learned the hard way that off-court investments can sting worse than a double fault. In a candid chat on “The Players’ Tribune” this week, the retired-ish legend (he’s dipping into coaching now) spilled: “I lost millions overnight” on a disastrous crypto plunge in 2022. Betting big on Bitcoin during the bull run, Murray watched his portfolio evaporate as the market cratered—down 70% in weeks. “Thought I was diversifying smartly, post-tennis security,” he admitted, shaking his head. “Woke up to red alerts everywhere. Gut-wrenching.”

Fans? Sympathy overload mixed with “told ya so” shade. “From £30M net worth to this? Ouch,” commented one, while another praised: “Real talk from a real one—crypto’s a casino.” Murray’s no stranger to fiscal fumbles; early career sponsorship snubs left him scraping by. But this? A perfect storm of hype and hubris. He funneled earnings from Rolex deals and his Under Armour line into digital gold, advised by “experts” who ghosted when values tanked.

The silver lining? Lessons learned. “Hired a proper advisor—boring bonds and blue-chips now,” Murray quipped, revealing a pivot to safer bets like his sustainable gym chain, Amilie. It’s raw relatability from a guy who’s banked £100M+ in prizes alone. Echoing peers like Naomi Osaka’s endorsement regrets, Murray’s confession destigmatizes athlete finance fails. “We’re not invincible off the court,” he said. “Share your Ls so others don’t take ’em.”

As Murray mentors young guns like his protégé Jack Draper, this story’s a cautionary ace: Wealth’s a game too, and even aces can shank it. What’s your wildest money mishap? Confess in the comments— no judgment, just high-fives. 💰
