The Chicago Bulls have been around for 56 years and have won six NBA championships. They found success during the 90s when they won their six titles in the form of two historic three-peats. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen powered the Bulls to their first three-peat. Dennis Rodman joined the elite duo to form arguably one of the best trios of all time.

Scottie Pippen earned a total of $109 million in the 17 seasons he played in the NBA.

Michael Jordan is now a billionaire and is the richest athlete in the world. However, most of his earnings came from his endorsements and investments off the court. He raked in $93.7 million from salaries in his 16-year playing career. However, he made just over a million in the two seasons he played for the Washington Wizards.

Dennis Rodman played for some of the biggest NBA teams during his time. He started his career with the Detroit ‘Bad Boyy’ Pistons, before joining the San Antonio Spurs. He then joined the Chicago Bulls in 1995 and won a three-peat with them. Rodman had a career spanning 14 years. During his time in the NBA, the five-time champion made $27 million in salaries, which is the lowest among the three.
