Moneybags Bargnani ponders how to spend his millions

ROME (Reuters) - Andrea Bargnani has earned so much money with the Toronto Raptors he does not know what to do with it all.

Bargnani was selected first overall in the 2006 NBA draft and has recently signed a contract extension worth a reported $50 million over five years.

"I've had so much money since I joined the NBA -- 20 million in the first four years," he said in an interview published in Saturday's La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I cannot even manage to think about what to do with it. I'm not someone who buys eight Rolls Royces and I don't have strange needs or material dreams."

The 23-year-old, seven-footer acknowledged, however, that given the current economic climate he was glad to have the massive income.

"I'm happy for my family and the security they get from it," he added. "Above all, in this moment of crisis I consider myself a very lucky person."
