Rodman's net worth, however, doesn't compare to the rest of his noteworthy teammates. Rodman's net worth is valued at $500,000. That is by far the lowest out of the Bulls' core players.
Former Bulls point guard Ron Harper has a reported net worth of $12 million. Role players like Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr have reported net worths of $30 million and $45 million, respectively. Head coach Phil Jackson has a reported net worth of $70 million.
As for the Bulls' two stars, Jordan has enjoyed tremendous success off the court. He has a reported net worth of $2.2 billion. He is by far the richest retired athlete in the world.
Unfortunately, Pippen has not enjoyed the same success away from basketball. While his reported net worth of $20 million is respectable, the Hall of Famer made over $100 million throughout his playing career. Pippen has reportedly lost over $120 million in bad investments and poor financial decisions.
While Pippen has struggled to manage his money, it does not compare to Dennis Rodman's situation. Rodman lost the majority of his net worth after being scammed by his financial advisor. He has also battled substance abuse and been arrested multiple times.
Rodman has appeared on several reality television shows since his retirement. He infamously visited North Korea and has maintained a friendship with their Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un.
