Law school is pretty expensive. One of the latest ways to deal with that is to become extremely good at Jeopardy!. We have a new reigning law student champion after Jamie Ding’s amazing $882,605 haul on the show this past spring.
Now it’s Caleb Groen’s turn. The Harvard Law student and current summer associate at Milbank’s New York office has won 12 straight games on the beloved quiz show, racking up nearly $350,000 in the process.
While plenty of law students fantasize about paying down debt, affording rent, or maybe splurging on something wildly irresponsible after finals, Groen appears to have his sights set on the kind of purchase that makes you feel young again: a new bike. ABC 7 recently spoke to him about that, as well as his other plans for his Jeopardy! winnings:

“I have a bike in Cambridge and it’s been broken for a while,” he said. “So definitely, I think, I put some money towards a new bike. But the remainder? I mean, it’s kind of enough that I’m thinking about maybe a down payment for a condo or a house or something like that. I think it would definitely be life-changing. I definitely want to up my charitable giving a little bit, this year for sure. But, overall, it’s just been something very unexpected and a huge blessing.”
Groen’s next appearance is set to air tonight, when he’ll go for win number 13. Here’s hoping he keeps the streak alive. Best of luck!
