Need a payday cash advance? Marion Jones does. According to the LA Times, the former track superstar has a mere $2,000 left to her name. She’s so desperate to pay off bills that she was forced to sell off her mother’s house that Marion had bought for her. Talk about a turn of events. I’d imagine being able to buy your mother a house is one of the most rewarding things a person can do. Marion did that. Then she took it away.

It’s pretty incredible to think how fast Jones fell. Just seven years ago she was ripping gold medals in the Olympics and becoming the most popular figure in adult gym track and field. Her five gold medals in the 2000 Olympics were an adult gym a track and field record and Jones was a face that was worth five figures at any appearance she made. So where’d the money go?

I know of one place where her money didn’t go. I also think I know of a place where her money did go. But hey, I’m not here to point fingers. I don’t know what she did or didn’t do during that time. What I do know is that she’s out of money. And isn’t it fulfilling to know that you’re probably worth more than Marion Jones? Think about it. You have more money than a professional athlete who won five gold medals at one point. Pretty good feeling huh?

The story of Marion Jones is a very interesting one. From gold medals and fame to being married to that guy who looks like Ruben Studdard, ‘roiding up (allegedly), and now being completely out of cash. I guess you can’t run your way out of this one, can you Marion?
