Actually if you make 100k a year without any kids/dependants you can throw money away. 100k is ALOT of money for one person.

I'm wondering if I should move to korea and marry there after I finally graduate from middle school then highschool and finally the awesome college. Hot korean chicks that play star craft to marry and pawn.

well he makes so much money + he doesn't spend any on living. I guess it's ok for him to buy a T-shirt for 100$. It's not even THAT much. Just remember Savior's clothes xD

Do we actually know that Jaedong bought the shirt? For all we know it could have been a gift from a fan or someone...a very cruel and unusual gift...
this is my quote.

Not to mention he has no house/food to pay for, since that's provided by Oz.

Yeah it really is a ton. Like someone making $100k and supporting a family of 2, mortgage, car, etc., is considered to still be doing quite well.

Given that Jaedong doesn't even have to pay for food and board and makes upwards of $300k when factoring in prizes and endorsements, he probably literally ends up with about 10x as much spending money in his pockets as someone in the situation I just described.

I thought JD was one of the progamers with worst payroll compared to his accomplishments? I remember reading about this in one of the countless articles about his "Free agency".

I very much doubt he makes 300 000$/year.

EDIT:
According to an article at gosugamers:
The financial argument also exists, as OZ offered the legendary Zerg a base salary of $112.500/year with possible bonuses adding up to extra $50.000. Player's family, however, requested a base salary of $145.000 and an advance on bonuses as well.

That's base salary though - he's been making a final every season and winning, and he has endorsements too.

he makes much more money from bonuses(fk latin) and doing commercials and advertisements for products. I remember a guy saying earlier its quite common to see a billboard with Jaedong's face on it. While he probably doesn't make as much as 300k, i think 250k is quite possible.

that's gotta be the crappiest 120$ T-shirt I've ever seen. I guess he's trying to make a point: "look my ugly ass t-shirt is 100 bucks, you can guess the price of my cool clothes".
