DENNIS RODMAN – EST. $500,000

Dennis Rodman is a former NBA superstar popularly known for being drafted in the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls from the 1980s to 1990s. Ask any hardcore b-ball fan, and they’d tell you that the highlight of this pro athlete’s career as a basketball player was the 1996-1997 season. Rodman’s reported earnings at the time were $9 million, and if adjusted for inflation, it is similar to $15 million today. Overall, his time running around the court has given him total earnings of $27 million— almost the same amount for $43 million today.

Just like an average person, this two-time NBA all-star has his ups and downs. He once became the 10th highest-paid player, but he was also fined and lost more than a million because of his unjust behavior. His current net worth is now just around $500,000. If Rodman’s wealth was appropriately handled, put up for investments, or saved in bank accounts, then he could still be a millionaire today. Despite the downturn, we still believe that the NBA legend can manage to rise back up eventually.
