2. Junior Bridgeman – Net Worth: $1.3 Billion
When he retired, former NBA player Junior Bridgeman made the bulk of his fortune. Bridgeman, whose net worth is estimated at just under $1.3 billion, went from sports to business with more than 100 Wendy’s and Chili’s franchises.
Later, he got the magazine Ebony in his portfolio. Bridgeman’s post-NBA enterprises herald how players can make it in other businesses; he has left a legacy as notable as most of today’s stars making him the second richest basketball players of all time.
