What is the net worth of Dennis Rodman in 2025? How did his financial portfolio dwindle over the years?

Dennis Rodman, a famed former NBA player is renowned for being arguably one of the best rebounding forwards in the history of the sport. Back in 2011, he was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame. We are taking a look at the high net worth that he has amassed over the years after playing for the Detroit Pistons, the San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks.
Dennis Rodman has a staggering net worth of $500,000 as of 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The star athlete has had a controversial career, due to which his net worth has dwindled over the years. In a career spanning 14 years, he had earned $27 million dollars. He began his career with a hefty sum of $880,000 with the Detroit Pistons. Between the years 1996-1997, he is reported to have earned his highest with a contract worth $9 million with the Chicago Bulls. An infamously luxurious lifestyle, legal issues and mismanagement of wealth have led to the dwindling of his net worth.
Apart from his earnings as an athlete, he had also ventured into the reality television industry. In 1996, he appeared on the MTV reality show, The Rodman World Tour. He also joined the show ‘The Surreal Life’ on VH1 in 2022. He also worked with shows such as Celebrity Big Brother in 2001, Celebrity Apprentice in 2009 and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008.

In an interview with Business Insider, Rodman shed some light on what motivated him to be an athlete, and he shared, "I love the game, and I didn't play the sport for money. Even though it's the most important thing for people today, I didn't play the sport for money. And all the players will tell you, that know me, that when I played, it wasn't the money factor for me to play. I played because I wanted to play. I wanted to win."
