In his new book, New Money: Staying Rich, former NFL cornerback Phillip Buchanon wrote that his mother made a sizable monetary request of him after he was drafted 17th overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2002.

From an excerpt of New Money: Staying Rich that appeared on FOX Sports:

Soon after the draft, she [Buchanon’s mother] told me that I owed her a million dollars for raising me for the past 18 years.
