6. Hakeem Olajuwon – Net Worth $200m
Now 53, Hakeem had an illustrious career playing professionally for 18 years.
Nicknamed ‘The Dream’ for the relaxed and effortless way he dunks, Olajuwon has played for both the Houston Rockets and the Toronto Raptors.
Since retiring, he’s invested heavily in Houston real estate, always buying in cash so as not to abuse Islamic laws about paying interest, boosting him up the richest NBA player list.
