Tristan Thompson’s Net Worth Is Lower Than Khloe Kardashian's Despite $82M Cavs Contract

Although Tristan Thompson’s net worth is $35 million, the NBA player still lags behind his more famous ex-partner in terms of money in the bank.

Thompson plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is signed to a 5-year, $82 million contract to play for the Cavs starting in the 2015 season, per Spotrac. This means he is set to enter the free agency market in the 2020 season. However, with the pandemic effectively shutting down all major sporting events around the world, resuming the suspended NBA season remains up in the air.

Under the contract, Thompson will receive $18 million in the 2019-2020 season. Moreover, the lucrative deal includes a stipulation that all of the $82 million is guaranteed salary. This just shows how the center proved crucial in the rebuilding phase of the team, especially since LeBron James left in 2018 to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, some of the accolades Thompson received in his basketball career were winning the Wayman Tisdale Award for USBWA National Freshman of the Year and being part of the All-Big 12 Second Team, Big 12 All-Defensive Team, and Big 12 All-Rookie Team. He was also instrumental in Canada’s campaign in the 2008 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship that resulted in a bronze medal finish.

Even though the 29-year-old is not much of a threat in scoring, he plays his role well and that is to set screen, crash the boards and provide defensive hustle. A lot of experts think the Cavs overpaid him, but he has proven that he is not injury-prone during his career. Apart from building his reputation on the basketball court, Thompson also gained popularity after dating Khloe Kardashian.

Khloe and TT were first spotted partying together in 2016. Soon after, the two confirmed their relationship. In 2018, the couple welcomed their son, True. Since then, it was on and off for Khloe and Tristan. Some reports stated that they separated for good in 2019 after photos showing the towering center kissing another woman named Jordyn Woods, who was one of Kylie Jenner’s close buddies at the time.

Despite their breakup, the 35-year-old Kardashian is not worrying over child support as she is successful on her own. A report stated that Khloe is the 3rd richest Kardashian-Jenner sister, having $40 million estimated net worth, only lagging behind Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

The mother of True has been able to leverage her TV success to venture to other opportunities. She is a best-selling author and a producer of several TV shows. Khloe also launched her own business called Good American that sells premium denim, workout clothing, and bodysuits, among others.
