Mattress Mack needed a wheelbarrow to load $10 million of his World Series bets onto a jet

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to move $10 million of cold hard cash from one place to another, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale has you covered.

The Houston-area furniture boss — and sports betting legend — had to travel, presumably home, with $10 million of his record $75 million payout from a combination of bets on the Houston Astros to win the World Series.

BetMGM caught it on camera from the moment a car dropped McIngvale and his money off at a tarmac where a jet awaited him.

He needed a wheelbarrow to move the cash from the car to the jet.

“This money is heavy!”

I don’t doubt that. I just hope McIngvale had a safe trip home.
