A Volkswagen camper bus of 37 years old for honkbalmiljonair Daniel Norris enough. Hipster alert!
The 21-year-old Daniel Norris is a professional baseball player for the Toronto Blue Jays. But in contrast to virtually all the professional athletes of his age, refuses to Norris in addition to his shoes to go for a walk. His financial adviser makes sure that he has $800 dollars a month paid, the rest of his assets, foreclosed on a bank account. Norris is of the opinion that he is of that $800 dollar fine around. For comparison: a single Dutch person 21 or older in the assistance will get €913 per month, excluding holiday allowance. That has been converted to $965 dollars.
Daniel Norris lives in a camper van from 1978. Exactly 37 years old his Volkswagen Westfalia T2 camper van in baggerbruin. A van that he in 2011 for $10,000 dollars bought and that he parked in the car park of the local Wal-Mart because the thing decided to stop working. Every morning he makes his van clean. He has one pair of jeans, a surfboard and a sleeping bag. The employees of the shop call him now “the Man” and think that he is homeless with his enormous beard.
The joke is that Norris the van bought to go to Toronto to travel in the hope of a place to get selection of the Toronto Blue Jays. In the meantime he succeeded, he has a contract for $2,000,000 in dollar signed his own fan club, a sponsorship deal with Nike and the pitcher is not going his van to leave. It is for him the place where he the stress of the honkbalcompetitie behind can let. The van now drive again and is probably brilliant to see how this tophonkballer the thing each morning between the luxury sports cars and SUVS of his colleagues park.
Refreshing, a guy with both feet on the ground. A Volkswagen T2 van and $800 dollars per month, go and explain to the linkshalf of FC Cambuur or the right back of Roda J. C., that are immediately ripe for a facility.
