"Used My Assets Without Permission" MLB Star Alec Bohm Sues Parents for $3 Million

Millions Withdrawn During Asset Management
Parents Deny All Allegations
Similar Cases Involving Britney Spears Also Draw Attention

Alec Bohm, a starting infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies in Major League Baseball (MLB), has drawn significant attention in the United States after filing a lawsuit alleging his parents used his assets without permission.

On March 27 (local time), the Associated Press (AP) reported, citing a complaint filed with a Philadelphia court, that Bohm is seeking at least 3 million dollars (approximately 4.5 billion won) in damages from his parents, Daniel Bohm and Lisa Bohm.

According to the complaint, Bohm's parents allegedly withdrew millions of dollars at their discretion while managing his bank accounts and used the funds for securities investments and real estate purchases, among other purposes. It is also alleged that they did not inform Bohm of these actions. Bohm reportedly discovered these facts during a recent review of his financial status. He claims that he subsequently requested account access and related information, but his parents refused to comply.

In response, Bohm's parents have denied all allegations. Their legal representative stated, "The couple loves their son and has always acted in his best interests." Citing the complaint, AP reported that Bohm's parents currently reside in a recreational vehicle and are traveling across the United States. On the same day the lawsuit became public, Bohm started as the cleanup hitter and third baseman in the 2026 MLB regular season home opener against the Texas Rangers, hitting a go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to lead his team to a 5-3 victory.

This case has once again brought attention to disputes over family financial management. In the past, Britney Spears engaged in a legal battle, claiming that her assets were controlled under a conservatorship led by her father, from which she was released in 2021. Former NBA star Allen Iverson also reportedly faced financial difficulties after entrusting family and acquaintances with his funds, while actor Nicolas Cage experienced conflicts with close associates over asset management issues.

Meanwhile, Bohm, who made his MLB debut in 2020, has been a starting infielder for Philadelphia since the 2021 season. In the 2025 season, he played 120 games, posting a batting average of .287, 11 home runs, 59 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.740. Ahead of the 2026 season, he signed a one-year contract with Philadelphia worth 10.2 million dollars (approximately 1.54 billion won).
