#Bobby is def secretly rich

[savvylittlecoxswain]

After coming to the conclusion that Bobby likely won a massive settlement for his botched appendectomy in a modern au, I came up with the following headcanons;

His parents used the money to pay for any and all medical or related expenses he has, but his parents make sure to put a large chunk of the remaining money into some bank accounts. It definitely ensured he'd have no student debt coming out of college l'm sure he had access to a fair amount of his funds after he turned 18 (I'm sure most just sits in a savings account).

Bobby is really private when it comes to his medical history, and therefore he keeps his settlement and such to himself. He's not frivolous with his money, like he's got a small apartment in one of the newer complexes and a nice laptop and an iPad to take notes on during class, but other than that he's not blowing massive amounts on himself. He is, however, sneakily generous.

He'll secretly pay for things for the crew because he loves to spoil his boys. So like throughout the year he'll pay for matching clothing for them like sweatpants, shirts, sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, shorts, practice uniforms, etc. and pass it off as being issued to them by the university. They'll get donations from "alumni" to fund travel or they'll "find" extra money in their rowing budget for the year to spend on team dinners or outings. Of course, this is always done in collaboration with Ulbrickson because he knows all the bureaucracy that comes with donating to the university.

After practice he hears them talking about how outrageous their rent is so he tells them about the housing assistance program through the rowing team and helps them get a monthly "stipend" from the "university" to go towards housing costs. He plays it off with their coach saying he doesn't want his crew stressing out about money issues because it'll impact their rowing but he really just loves them and wants to help them < 3
