FORMER NBA veteran Trevor Ariza has made $116million during his 18-year career.
However, the 38-year-old retired after the 2022 season and nearly lost all his money after going through a heated divorce with estranged wife Bree Anderson, per RadarOnline.

Ariza was a second-round pick of the New York Knicks in 2004.
After joining the Orlando Magic the following season, Ariza’s career took off in 2008 when he was acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Trevor would play alongside basketball legend Kobe Bryant and sidekick Pau Gasol as the Lakers went on to win the NBA Finals in the 2009-10 season.
He’d go on to be a journeyman and play for seven more teams and earn $116million in his 18 years of professional basketball experience.
For his career, Ariza averaged 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the field.
In 2022, two months after retiring, Ariza’s estranged wife Anderson demanded monthly child support payments from the NBA veteran.
She requested Ariza to continue to provide her with a mansion, luxury cars, private staff, and real estate properties.
During their marriage, the couple lived in a massive mansion in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, California.
In summary, Anderson requested $60,000 a month for child support payments.
Ariza claims that his income has dried up, and he’s living off a non-recurring, lump-sum payment of $418,000 from the NBA, including $4,000 from a property he rents.
“I am in the process of reducing my monthly expenses as I am now unemployed and cannot maintain my former lifestyle,” Ariza wrote, according to RadarOnline.
Ariza hopes that revealing his monthly expenses to the judge will help him pay the child support payments at a much smaller figure.
The NBA veteran claims to have only made $61,000 this past year.
However, Anderson argues that Ariza saved up millions of dollars, made several business investments, and could liquidate a few of his properties.
They’ll face one another in court later this month.
