A person’s first big purchase after coming into a lot of money can tell you a lot about them. In the case of Miami Dolphins’ cornerback Xavien Howard — his first purchase tells you everything you need to know. Now, Howard didn’t exactly “come into” a lot of money, he’s earned his monster contract extension with the Miami Dolphins through years of hard work, commitment to his craft and film study. But that only makes his first investment all that much sweeter to see.
Howard fulfilled a promise he’d made to his mother — and bought her a beautiful new home with some of the new cash he has at his disposal after hammering out a contract extension with Miami earlier this offseason.
Here’s what Howard had to say in the accompanying caption:
“Something I promised my mother, ever since I was a young kid. Finally thru all the obstacles we had overcome. A dream can go a long way with faith and hard work. Mama I love you so much enjoy your new house. s/o to @mrrealestate for making this possible…” – Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard
Kudos to Howard for seeing to it that his family isn’t just looked after, but for keeping his promise and seeing to it that his mom will be living the good life in some beautiful new digs.
