Coco Gauff Laughs Off ‘Paying Off Debts’ Suggestion: ‘I Live With My Parents Still, So I’m Not In Debt’
The U.S. Open champion, Coco Gauff, let her followers know how she plans to spend her winning earnings.
On Sunday, while on Instagram Live, Gauff responded comically to a fan’s suggestion to “pay off debts.” Many followers assumed the Florida native would spend her $3 million on loans and past debts, but she quickly shut that idea down.

“Somebody said, ‘Pay off debts.’ I’m 19 I don’t have any debt. I’m not in debt,” she said. “I live with my parents still. I’m not in debt…didn’t go to college, so I don’t have any student bills to pay. I’m not in debt; I’m too young! My parents have never put me in that position to be in debt. Yeah, I don’t have nothing to pay right now.”
The response quickly turned into a Twitter joke after users found that the tennis pro was floored over the idea of having debt.
Gauff deserves a vacation after the rigorous season she had. She is now ranked No. 3 in singles and No. 1 in doubles by the Women’s Tennis Association. She holds six WTA Tour singles titles and eight doubles.
