What is Chris Bosh’s net worth?

One of the most talented players in basketball history, Chris Bosh was a favorite of Americans. After winning Texas’ Mr. Basketball title in high school, he played just one year of college basketball at Georgia Tech, where he hoped to earn a degree in graphic design and computer imaging. However, his basketball career came first and he was drafted fourth overall in the NBA by the Toronto Raptors.

Chris Bosh’s career was record-breaking, as he produced one of the strongest drafts in NBA history alongside LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade. Initially, he was praised for playing despite injuries and pain, but later in his career, this would prove to be his undoing. In 2024, he was drafted Drafted Podcast to share a health update. But what is his net worth?

Despite his record-breaking career, Chris’s net worth of $110 million probably makes him the 24th richest NBA player. (The list is topped, of course, by Michael Jordan with a net worth of $2.2 billion, the only NBA player to break the billion dollar mark.) Still, Chris’ multimillionaire status is impressive considering his career was ended by a bleeding disorder at just 31 years old, while his buddy LeBron James is still on the court in 2024 at 39 years old.

Chris first played for the Toronto Raptors, who refused to let him go despite several offers. In his second year with the franchise, he was already a team leader and was named captain the following year. He was also a member of the NBA All-Star team in 2006, starting an 11-year streak as an All-Star. He also led the Raptors to the Atlantic Division championship in 2007 before being traded to the Miami Heat in 2010.

In 2012 and 2013, Chris led the Heat to back-to-back championship victories alongside LeBron and Dywane. Over the years, Chris’ contracts piled up. He received a $65 million contract extension with the Raptors in 2006 and a six-year, $110 million contract from the Heat in 2010. His five-year extension in 2013 was worth $118 million, and he also received millions in endorsement deals worth at least $5 million.

He also led the United States national basketball team to a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Financially, Chris hasn’t been overly open about his decisions, but he and his wife, Adrienne Williams, provide for and support their four children, as well as Chris’ first daughter, Trinity, whom he has with Allison Mathis. That’s pretty expensive, even for multimillionaires. Plus, Chris’ career-ending health issues probably aren’t cheap.

In July 2024, the Drafted team, a Spanish basketball podcast, caught up with Chris at the Calderón training camp in Badajoz, Spain. Chris said he was in Spain with his son Jackson after first visiting Cáceres in 2009. Now that Jackson is 12 years old, Chris feels ready to go to training camp and vacation together.

During the 20-minute conversation, they delved deep into Chris’ career. But at the end, they wanted to know how he recovered mentally from his NBA career ending. “We all know that the last part of your career was obviously difficult due to health issues,” said the drafteados. “How did you deal with it mentally to actually overcome that and cope well with it?” Chris replied: “It took years.”

“It took many, many years,” he reiterated. “It was very painful. A lot of people always ask me or tell me, ‘You’re going to make it because you do so many things,’ and that’s true, but I always just wanted to play basketball. That’s all I ever wanted to do was play in the NBA. I was at the point in my career where I was trying to redefine my game, shoot more threes… I wanted to continue to be a leader for the Heat.”

Chris was forced to retire early after blood clots were discovered in his lungs in 2015. Doctors failed his physical exam, frustrating Chris who wanted to continue his career on blood thinners. However, medical professionals deemed it too risky, so Chris had to step away from his lifelong dream.
