Being rich is totally awesome until some nut comes along and decides that they want to be rich too by tying you up and stealing thousands of dollars worth of your stuff. Don't believe us? Just ask Antoine Walker, he knows all about being robbed at gunpoint.

Apparently, the Miami Heat forward was just chillin' in his Chicago crib when some masked men broke into his home, tied him up and stole jewelry, a car and some cold hard cash. Luckily, or unluckily, one of Toine's friends walked into the house during the stick-up.

When he went into the house, he saw Antoine's phone on the floor. He called out for Toine. Toine was upstairs -- that's what somebody told him. And then when he went upstairs, he was put at gunpoint right then and there. They taped him up by the wrists, they taped him by the ankles and then they just took all their money. And then they took Mr. Walker's car," James Walker said.

But this wasn't the first time Walker has been the victim of a theft. Back in 2000, a bandit stole $50,000 from Walker while he was sitting in his car in south Chicago. Damn, and we thought that the Dallas Mavericks had a tendency to get robbed blind.
