The five-time NBA champion continues to showcase his raw self to the media. While many might find this alarming, the likes of tennis star Nick Kyrgios find this rather inspiring. For Kyrgios, Rodman’s nature of not caring about the judgments of others is inspiring. With that said, there are actions executed by Rodman that people find hard to appreciate.
Dennis Rodman skipped on paying the bill
In 2009, Dennis Rodman and 15 of his friends visited the Philippe Cow restaurant in Miami, Florida. Supposedly, the group only consumed bottles of Champagne during their visit. Eventually, the bill mounted up to around $3,000. A source stated that Rodman’s friends started leaving the restaurant one after the other.
When it came to Rodman’s turn, the source said, “He (Rodman) was like f**k it. I’m not getting stuck with this bill. They all snuck out.”
According to the source, Rodman was leaving Miami on a private Jet. So this left everyone infuriated. The source said, “You just go to places and don’t pay your bill. Shame on you.” Rodman has never addressed or confirmed this story. Furthermore, the Philippe Cow restaurant is now closed.
However, this isn’t the first time Rodman, whose net worth is $450K, has skipped paying the bill. In 2009, Rodman traveled to Germany for an exhibition game. The game was called USA Legends of Basketball. After the game, Rodman and his friends treated themselves to a wild night in the hotel.

With all the drinks ordered, the bill added up to $5,100 (3,400 Euros). While the exhibition organizers paid for Rodman’s stay, they didn’t cover the bill from the after-party. Supposedly, Rodman left the hotel without paying this bill.
Immediately, the hotel called up the German police and reported this incident. The cops detained him while he was traveling in a limousine on a highway. Eventually, Rodman paid the bill all while paying an extra amount of 1,700 euros to avoid any legal charges being pressed on him.
