Today, Scottie Pippen is sitting on a net worth of about $50 million and his lifestyle must be envied by many. However, his life has its ups and downs, too. Just in October 2018, his wife, Larsa Pippen, revealed that they decided to split.

Maria Sharapova – $196 Million

Maria Sharapova doesn’t just look good; she’s amazingly talented as well. As the only Russian to win a career Grand Slam, she has been ranked as number one in women’s tennis four times – with enormous earnings to prove it. She often shows herself on Instagram vacationing in exotic locations, posing at red carpet events with celebrities, and relaxing around her massive home. It’s even more admirable when you think of the situation, and realize that she, apart from all this, has to discipline and condition herself constantly to be in top form.

Dennis Rodman – $500K

Dennis Rodman is the NBA star who won five titles with the Detroit Pistons and then with the Chicago Bulls. He is also rather famous for his appearance, his eccentric ear piercings, and his ever-changing hair color. He lives up to a wild image, spending on pro-wrestling and nutty costumes. The retired American Hall of Fame professional basketball player is rather outrageous, and he can afford to be, too. To give you an idea, he once owned a 1996 Hummer H1 that he had covered with revealing photos of women, and it went for $55,500. Wild!

Derek Jeter – $185 Million

Stephen Curry – $60 Million

Two- time MVP Stephen Curry has taken the NBA to a new level of excitement with his fantastic playing.

His vehicle collection includes Porsches which is really cool!

Buster Posey – $45 Million

The San Francisco Giants catcher and first baseman purchased his opulent Lafayette home for $4.6 million in 2013.

This is coupled with a collection of sweet rides such as a Bentley Continental, Pagani, Range Rover, and Ferrari. We hear Steph Curry and Mötley Crüe rocker Vince Neil also own pricey properties nearby so the area must be a popular choice among A-listers.

Chris Bosh – $110 Million

Currently a free agent, the Miami Heat forward played for 13 seasons in the NBA, earning over $20 million a season until 2016 when he suffered a series of blood clots. Bosh admits that despite earning a lot, he knows nothing about finance.

This was largely achieved through Jordan Brand and his being a major owner of the Charlotte Hornets.

Floyd Mayweather  – $560 Million

But it doesn’t stop there! He is also the proud owner of a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Eleanor, the only officially licensed replica of the star vehicle from the film Gone in 60 Seconds. That’s what you get for being a millionaire!

Roger Federer – $450 Million

Top tennis player Roger Federer has won twenty Grand Slam singles titles, which is the highest for any player in history. As you might expect, it translated to a large bank account balance. So it’s no surprise that his Swiss home is a sight to behold. Reminiscent of a James Bond movie structure, it’s located by Lake Zurich. Then there’s his Dubai penthouse. He’s often sharing Instagram photos of him partying in that country. But then, making around $80 million per year as the highest paid tennis star puts him a cut above rich athletes.

P.V. Sindhu – $7.4 Million

The first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver medal in badminton, Sindhu is seventh on the Forbes list of the world’s highest-earning female athletes. After winning the Olympic silver, she was gifted with a two-acre land and a BMW by two different associations in India, plus cash prizes from various state governments and government institutions.

To prove our point, she sold her Miami mansion for $7.4 million, and her current net worth is $60 million.

The winner for 2019 will be announced on June 19.
