NIL athletes encounter sudden spikes of high earnings over short periods, face family financial pressures, and often feel tempted to make multiple costly purchases of depreciating assets, such as expensive cars. Therefore, they must make wise financial decisions to build lasting wealth.
By addressing sudden income, career uncertainty, and outside pressures, athletes can build lasting wealth beyond college.
NIL athletes and sports entrepreneurs frequently receive large streams of payments at a young age. Still, they often lack access to proper wealth advisors, financial literacy, and financial planning systems needed to grow and manage these windfalls effectively.
Family and friends may treat the athlete’s NIL money as shared winnings requesting loans, business investments, or financial support.
At Benjamins Money, we help NIL athletes build a strong financial foundation both while they’re in school and long after their athletic career ends. Our approach is designed to simplify financial decisions, protect earnings, and turn today’s opportunities into lasting wealth.

Optimize your executive bonuses, deferred compensation, and stock and incentive plans for improved tax efficiency.
NIL athletes are often treated as independent business entities, which means taxes aren’t automatically withheld from their income. This requires proactive planning to manage large payments, set aside money for quarterly or annual taxes, and maintain healthy cash flow throughout the year. Benjamins Money, along with your tax advisor, helps athletes build financial systems that handle business-style income responsibly, avoid surprises, and make informed decisions about big expenses.
We help athletes build emergency reserves and create long-term investment portfolios tailored to their career timeline and future goals ensuring stability even after college athletics ends.
