Scottie Pippen has been having a bad few last weeks. Scratch that he’s been having a few down years at this point. From having his celebrity status stripped away by fans due to his comments on Michael Jordan to having half of his retirement fund from the Chicago Bulls taken away by his ex-wife Larsa, Scottie is not in a great situation at the moment.
Scottie Pippen’s ex Wife Larsa has been awarded half of his 401K from the Chicago Bulls. She will receive 50% of the value no matter if it’s still money in the account.

The legendary small forward has been fighting a marital court battle with his divorcee Larsa Pippen for almost 7 years now, with most of the monetary benefit going in Larsa’s direction.
While the dissolution of their marriage has been finalized, the matter of the custody of their children and Scottie’s alimony payments to Larsa is still a raging battle. Recently Scottie has come out and said he wants ‘ultimate’ responsibility for their children and is ready for Larsa to be completely evicted from his personal life.
Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen have had 4 kids together
Scottie Pippen himself has 8 children from four different relationships. The media and the public in general have a certain opinion concerning Pippen after his recent actions and opinions but no one can help but feel pity for him after learning that out of his eight children, he has lost two of them at the age of just 57.
Scottie has had 4 of his offspring with Larsa Pippen, those being, Scottie Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia Pippen. Scottie Jr. is a professional basketball player who averaged about 17 points and 4 assists for Vanderbilt University and even made it to the NBA when the Los Angeles Lakers signed him to a two-way contract with their G League affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers.
His kids are ages 21, 20, 17, and 13 respectively. His only daughter with Larsa, Sophia, is a little bit of a celebrity akin to her father as she was on the junior season of “Dancing with the Stars” and placed ninth. She went past the first two rounds of Jive and Foxtrot after scoring 21 and 20 points, respectively, but got eliminated in the third round of Samba with just 19 points.
Scottie’s oldest son Antron, whom he had with his first wife Karen McCollum passed away in 2021 at the tender age of 33. Antron was a chronic asthma patient and his father even believes that it was the reason Antron never could make it to professional basketball at the NBA level. This lethal condition led to his eventual expiry, which broke the heart of Scottie Pippen.
Pippen suffered another tragedy when his daughter Tyler Roby Pippen whom he had with his ex-girlfriend Sonya Roby, died after just nine days after her birth.
A fact to note here is that out of his 8 children, Pippen has been recorded denying his paternity to three of them one of which was Tyler Roby Pippen, but this has led to him spending the majority of his years after his playing career in the courtroom fighting legal battles rather than basking in the glory of his legacy.
