9. Charles Barkley ($30 million of estimated net worth)
Charles Barkley was one of the best NBA players for some of the richest NBA teams. In 1993, he became the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) when he was playing power forward for Phoenix Suns. And he is also an Olympic gold-medalist.
Now, upon his retirement, he became the NBA analyst on TNT’s Inside the NBA. Alongside him are other former great basketball players, Ernie Johnson Jr., Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal. These four recap and comment on NBA games and general NBA affairs. There is no one else better to hear NBA gossip than from the former player himself.
Barkley, or also known as Chuck, has been the network’s studio analyst since sixteen years ago. The amount of money he has earned from this certain job has never been disclosed. But we managed to estimate his net worth to around $30 million.
Hadn’t he been addicted to gambling, that number might have been so much more. During a special interview, Barkley admitted that he has lost around $10 million through gambling. And $2.5 million of that was gone in just six-hour of blackjack game.
