NBA Hall of Famers who went from millionaires to bankruptcy

Dennis Rodman 

Rodman earned about $27 million in salary alone as a NBA player in the 1980s and 90s. He filed for bankruptcy right around the time he was enshrined into the 2011 Basketball Hall of Fame, according to The Orange County Register. 

Rodman went broke in large part because of his hard-partying/lavish lifestyle, according to The Orange County Register. He was also once scammed out of more than a million dollars thanks to “financial advisor” Peggy Ann Fulford – whom he entrusted with controlling his bank accounts, according to Sports Illustrated. 

Additionally, Rodman – who claimed he could barely afford his own living expenses – owed over $800,000 in child and spousal support in the year after his Hall of Fame induction, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

“His sickness impacts his ability to get work,” Rodman’s attorney Linnea Willis wrote. “This case, especially his wife filing for divorce, has put him on a binge that I have never seen before. He is extremely hurt and extremely sick. He is often unable to obtain work because of this sickness. And his sickness is getting increasingly worse.” 

Today, Rodman is building his finances back with different endorsements and businesses, which includes his clothing brand called Rodman Apparel. His net worth is $500,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
