It’s easy to dream up the many ways you’d spend the oodles of money you assume all adults have access to when you’re a kid. However, most people don’t end up realizing their childhood dreams thanks to a combination of changing tastes and the crushing reality check that usually comes with being thrust into the Real World.
However, Myles Turner is a very notable exception.
The 25-year-old Pacers center who clocks in at 6’11” is a decidedly grown man, but he’s still a kid at heart. When he’s now playing basketball, the self-avowed nerd uses some of the more than $60 million he’s earned since entering the NBA to do things like spend the day at Disney World and hit up Legoland.

Turner has also devoted a solid chunk of his earnings to amassing a very sizeable Lego collection that would make any kid incredibly jealous, and on Tuesday, he showed off some of his proudest possessions with the help of an audio clip from the animated movie Surf’s Up.
@original_turner Girls are cool and all but have you ever experienced the feeling of finishing a 1k plus lego set 🤓 #legostarwars #legotiktoker #bricktok #fyp #SmoothLikeNitroPepsi #disney #hobby #legotok #nba #legolife #nerd
It’s pretty clear Turner is a big Star Wars guy, as his trophies include a replica of the Death Star, a Star Destroyer, and multiple versions of the Millennium Falcon. However, the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the truly titanic model of the Titanic that required him to assemble over 9,000 pieces.
It’s Myles Turner’s world and we’re all just living in it.
