Dennis Rodman, nicknamed ‘The Worm’ earned over $30 million in salaries throughout his illustrious NBA career. However, today, his net worth is estimated at just $500,000, a result of choices he made in the past. For his daughter, Trinity Rodman, and her mother, none of that wealth reached post-divorce, as they worked tirelessly to make ends meet. And with Dennis never being physically present for them, it only made things harder. 

Trinity Rodman has been vocal about her strained relationship with Dennis Rodman, even refusing to give him the ‘dad’ title, stating that they are only connected by blood. In a conversation with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she reveals the financial struggles she and her mother, Michelle Moyer endured, despite sharing a last name with the then-millionaire.

Growing up in a wealthy place when you don’t have money is a different struggle,” says Rodman who grew up in Newport Beach, California. “We had (a Ford) Expedition and we kind of lived in that for a little bit” she recalls, mentioning how living with Dennis was not an option due to his frequent wild parties.

Trinity also points out that things changed a lot after the divorce. “Before the divorce happened, my dad was actually helping money-wise,” she continued. “He would actually give money to my mom and let us kind of live life a little bit, but then when the divorce happened, it was just like, ‘F—k you guys.’

For now, Trinity Rodman no longer has to worry about finances. Playing for Washington Spirit in the NWSL, she holds one of the league’s most lucrative contracts. Given her consistent performances each year, the club will have to shell out big bucks if they want to retain the young forward in their lineup.
