Justin Jefferson is currently the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL after signing a huge four-year, $140 million contract last June. But despite the lucrative contract, Jefferson is still living a humble life in a $405,000 townhouse.
Jefferson spoke to reporters on Thursday during Vikings training camp. When asked why he still lives in his small townhouse, he said he did not have a big family and was happy with what he had.
“I’m one person, I ain’t got no big family,’ said Jefferson, who is the father of a baby girl. ‘I don’t need to be in no $10 million mansion, that’s not something I came from”
“I grew up with parents that were grateful for what they had, and I was grateful for what I grew up with,’ Jefferson continued. ‘I never grew up having no big old house, maybe I’ll move onto that, maybe not. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later.”
