9. Hakeem Olajuwon – Net Worth: $300 Million
An NBA Hall of Famer and the man behind the iconic “Dream Shake”, Hakeem Olajuwon is one of the richest basketball players of all time with an estimated net worth of $300 million.

Olajuwon’s earnings were primarily from his NBA career with the Houston Rockets, but the veteran shooter and investor is smart. For years he’s been a part of the Houston real estate game, with holdings in all parts of the city that helped into his huge fortune, proving his success goes beyond basketball.
