How could Carmelo Anthony's net worth be affected by a potential divorce with La La Anthony?

Carmelo Anthony has had a legendary NBA career that landed him on the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team. While it is unclear if his career will continue as he remains unsigned, the future Hall of Famer made an estimated $262.5 million throughout his 19-year playing career. He also had a very high-profile marriage to actress La La Anthony.

The couple met in 2003 before becoming engaged the following year. La La gave birth to their first and only child, Kiyan, in 2007 and the couple finally tied the knot three years later in 2010. Their wedding ceremony was filmed and broadcast on a VH1 reality television series titled "La La's Full Court Wedding."

While there had long been rumors of the 10-time All-Star being unfaithful, their marriage hit a rough patch during the summer of 2017 as a dancer alleged that Carmelo was the father of her child. While the two stars were able to reconcile the following year, after spending 2020 quarantined together, La La filed for divorce in 2021.

While Carmelo Anthony has a reported net worth of $160 million, it is unclear how much he would stand to lose in a divorce settlement, as the terms of his prenupital agreement with La La have not been made public.

Carmelo Anthony's earnings, endorsements, and investments

Carmelo Anthony has had a legendary NBA career, most notably with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, and most recently with the LA Lakers. While he is currently without an NBA contract, the six-time All-NBA selection has made more money from NBA contracts in his career than all but 12 players in NBA history.

In addition to his massive career earnings, Anthony has made plenty of money off the court as well. The 2012-2013 scoring champion has had endorsement deals with brands such as Jordan Brand, Foot Locker and Nickelodeon.

Anthony, who has scored the ninth-most points in NBA history, has also made plenty of investments. He has invested in everything from technology companies to sports bars and pizzerias.

Furthermore, the third overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft has invested in Overtime Elite, a league that helps amateur athletes earn salaries that can rise to six figures. He was also the owner of Puerto Rico FC, a team in the now-defunct North American Soccer League.

While Anthony may wind up losing some of his reported $160 million net worth in his divorce settlement, it is unlikely that the NBA legend will fall on hard times. His career earnings combined with his savvy business investments will ensure that Anthony remains successful.
