These celebrity DUIs always confuse (and disappoint) me – the man’s earning 3.2 mil a year, why didn’t he just hire a driver?

> Finland is one of the few countries in the EU to use an income-related day fine system for severe crimes, including road offences. A Finnish fine consists of a minimum of a 1 day-fine, **up to a maximum of 120 day-fines**. The minimum amount of a day-fine is 6 euros. **Usually, the day-fine is one half of daily disposable income.**
Kasperi Kapanen’s salary is actually his cap hit ($3.2mil). If he receives the max, he’s looking at 120 day-fines (at one-half daily disposable income).
I don’t know what his full financial situation looks like and what his actual daily disposable income is — the amount of money he has left over after taxes. So here’s some math with **before taxes figures**.
* 120 days is 32.9% of all days in the year.
* 32.9% of $3.2mil is $1,052,800.
* One-half of that (as it is half-day fines of daily disposable incomes) is $526,400.
> The starting price of a taxi in Finland is 6.5 EUR. Each KM is then priced at 1.2 EUR. if you need the driver to wait for you this will cost 49.2 EUR per hour.

Isn’t Finland one of the countries where one DUI is lifetime suspension of your driving privileges?
Kapanen really sounds like a dumb tween going through à post-adolescence existential crisis.
And even if I can’t feel sorry for multimillionaire athletes, I hope he gets his shit together sooner rather than later.
Yeah but what about his suit game?
