Gary Payton
In 2005, Gary Payton bagged his only NBA title as a player for the Miami Heat. Reports say that he has a net worth of $130 million. He spent more than a decade with the Seattle SuperSonics before that. This was when he earned most of his fortune. In 1997, he got married to his childhood sweetheart Monique James. They have three kids together: Julian, Raquel, and Gary Jr. Sadly, they called it quits in 2012.
Hakeem Olajuwon
Isn’t it impressive that Hakeem Olajuwon started playing basketball when he was 15 years old? For this reason, we are not surprised to hear that the Nigerian-American sportsman became a sports icon when he was in college. At the moment, he is worth $200 million. This makes him one of the richest basketball players out there. In 1996, he got married to Dalia Asafi. While it was arranged by their families, things worked out for them in the end. They have three kids together. They are called Aisha, Rahmah, and Abi.
