Chris Pratt recently opened up about his early experiences with sudden wealth and the financial lessons he learned along the way. Speaking in an interview, Pratt reminisced about his first substantial paycheck. "The first paycheck I got, I was like, 'Are you serious?'" He recounted. His initial big break, a TV movie that paid him $75,000, seemed like an infinite amount at the time. However, the reality of rapid spending hit soon after, with the Jurassic World star admitting, "Then about two months later, I was like, 'Where'd that money go?'" Pratt's spending spree included trips back to Maui, Australia, and other global destinations. "It was just a crazy amount of money to me. I never could have possibly imagined making that amount of money and it went very quickly," the actor explained. "No one ever taught me financial literacy. I didn't know what to do with money," Pratt shared and highlighted the importance of financial literacy, which he learned the hard way. This realisation led him to develop a plan for financial security, ensuring he and his family would be stable, regardless of his career's trajectory.
