JJ WATT is an incredibly humble guy, considering his position in life.

The Houston Texans giant is one of the biggest names in American football.

This month, he signed a record $100 million contract but had no idea what to do next.

His friends told him he should buy something, but Watt was completely lost.

“I Googled ‘What to rich people buy?’ because I don’t feel like a rich person,” Watt told Fox Sports.

“I don’t really try to act like a rich person so I don’t know what they buy and I really didn’t like the stuff I saw so I think I’m going to stick with my humble lifestyle and keep working out.”

A McLaren Mercedes is among the top results, as well as an IMAX home theatre and car elevator.

Watt is considered the top defensive end in football and probably the top defensive player.

The $16.6 million average annual salary he received now will be viewed as the benchmark for defensive players.

Not that he knows what to do with it.
