Derrick Rose is a name that rings far and wide in the NBA. The league’s youngest MVP has always held a special place in fans’ hearts. Rose was once one of the most inspiring and electric young players coming into basketball and to say that he was prime time is an understatement. Rose led the 2010-2011 Chicago Bulls to a first-seed finish with his second-best player 30-year-old Carlos Boozer.
Rose suffered an ACL tear injury in 2012. This derailed the rest of his career in totality, as he needed to have surgery to repair the knee as well as 6 to 12 months of recovery and rest. Rose never looked or felt the same after his first injury and proceeded to have a slew of them over the next several years of his career. After his time in Chicago, Rose became a journeyman bouncing from one contending team to the next.
Derrick Rose is worth about $100 million in 2023
Derrick Rose has had his fair share of monetary success as an athlete for the NBA. One thing that sets him apart, however, is the fact that he has worked hard for every single penny he has ever made. One of the most humble and down-to-earth professional sportspersons one may ever know of, Rose has made sure that his success in life benefits not only him but his close ones as well.
Rose negotiated a deal with German athletics giant Adidas back in 2012 for an astounding $185 million over 14 years. Rose also added a clause to his contract that stipulates that Adidas pay his brother $250k-$350k per year and his best friend $50k-$75k per year.

In 15 years playing in the NBA, Rose has earned an estimated $162,924,399 before taxes with the bulk of the money coming from the Bulls. Rose’s most recent contract would be his 3-year $43 million deal with the New York Knicks which will unfortunately not be extended into the 2023-2024 season.
In 2023, Rose has an estimated net worth of $100 million, making a reported $13 million from endorsements, and once he signs a new contract in free agency that amount will be added to his current stockpile of wealth.
