How did Boris Becker get into all this legal trouble, and end up in a Brit jail?
Mostly....as his career declined and peaked....he had zero money-handling experience. Then you tie in wife #1 with the divorce costs. Later would come divorce number 2.
The jobs after tennis? He was a 'car ambassador' for Mercedes....mostly showing up at meetings and shaking hands. For some period of time, he was a on-line betting 'ambassador'.
Around 2002, he fell into a tax scandal....getting sentenced for two years of jail (German jail)....but that was eventually suspended.
For around five years, he was a poker-expert (at least he claimed that) and got some type of pay for that advice.
Then he got into Nigerian oil exports....with the claim that he made $10-million off that (whether it was true or not....an unknown).
Around 2017, he got dragged into a court matter....owing around 36-million Euro to a group of creditors. That led to court action and the Brit jail.
In simple terms....he's a guy who stumbles around into various money-deals, and really can't handle the money and tax implications involved. Germans are fascinated by the guy, and if he were managed properly....with a lower expectation on living costs....he'd probably do OK.
