His Net Worth right now is $90 million, instead of rejoicing at McDonald’s for “No tax on tips!“ And, it would probably be $100 million—if he had not lost so much money wagering on his bad golf game.
Charles Barkley is an NBA Hall of Famer and 1993 MVP who turned a 16‑year, 11‑time All‑Star career into a second act as one of the most candid and influential voices in sports media. Drawing on his time leading locker rooms in Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Houston, and now challenging conventional wisdom on national TV, he blends his trademark intensity, humor, and straight talk in a way that resonates far beyond basketball.
We are all glad he was not 5 foot 11. Except, maybe, for the basketball opponents of “The Round Mound of Rebound.“
Sir Charles at 5’11 would have suited them fine.
