12. Hakeem Olajuwon @ $200 Million
Hakeem Olajuwon is a far cry from the poor boy he was when he grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. He was a soccer enthusiast, but his strength and height made him an NBA center prospect. In 1984, he was selected by the Rockets and brought them their only two championship rings. He also won the MVP award both times. He claimed to have earned $100 million during his 18-year NBA career, and another $100 in real estate.
