Sports & Money: Hall of Famer Joe puts Villa Montana winery on the market

Slinging grapesSlinging grapesPro football hall of fame quarterback Joe Montana and his wife are selling their 500-acre vineyard property in California’s Sonoma Valley for $49 million.

Villa Montana is located in Calistoga, north of San Francisco. It includes a 9,700-square-foot Tuscan-style main residence, an equestrian center, two creeks and a pond, as well as a basketball court, skeet shooting range, caretaker’s house, guest house, pool, spa, gym, bocce ball court and olive farm, Coldwell Banker said in a statement today that was reported by Bloomberg News.

“Villa Montana was designed to feel as if it was handed down through the generations,” Jennifer Montana said in the statement. “It’s a real celebration of California’s food and wine culture.”

Joe Montana played for the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. He won four Super Bowl titles.

Calistoga is in the Napa Valley, not the Sonoma Valley.

Accurate history will show him in the uniform of the team he led to multiple super bowls. It's like having history show Johnny Damon in a Royals jersey.

Accurate history will show him as both ... kind of a silly comment.

I'm sure history will show him as a 49er, not a Chief...no offense.

Question:

BRB asks

Who do I talk to for financial advice that does not involve them trying to sell me something? We are 60 and 59, have a 200,000 annuity, are 60-70,000 credit card debt, have a house that is half paid for,own a condo in fl that is not paying for itself, have a good credit rating, not behind on anything, not facing foreclosure, wife on disability, husband still working, Want to pay off credit cards, but don't know how. Should we use part of annuity? I just want to know who to ask for help. Thanks

Answer:

It looks like you would be well served by a comprehensive financial plan which would address your concerns and give you a clear picture of where you are at financially. Financial advisors are paid in two different ways. Some receive commissions for the products they sell you. There are also fee only financial planners who work for you for a set fee and sell no products. In their case you know exactly how much it will cost you up front. It would also be preferable to use a financial planner who is a Certified Financial Planner.

Best Regards,
G. Douglas Dunham
