The newest season of The Kardashians hit fans with an unexpected reunion—Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian, back in the same room. No, it wasn’t a reconciliation, but it sure brought back some old emotions. Especially for Khloe, who opened up on her new podcast Khloe in Wonderland, revealing that ending things with Lamar was still “harder” than the heartbreaks Tristan Thompson gave her. And just like that, fans were reminded of a love story that had its fair share of everything—glitz, drama, and a whole lot of pain.
Naturally, that pain wasn’t just emotional. Financially, Khloé had to step in for Lamar when things went south. After his 2014 NBA retirement, Lamar’s life spiraled fast—addiction, rehab stints, and the infamous brothel incident that nearly killed him. It was during this chaos that Khloe found herself supporting her ex in more ways than one. But while the headlines told us about the scandals, few asked what it all did to his bank balance.

Lamar Odom’s net worth in 2025
Well, as of 2025, Lamar Odom is worth an estimated $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. It may sound like a lot, but for someone who made $110 million just from playing ball, as Forbes reported, that number feels shockingly low. After all, this was a two-time NBA champion who had a solid 14-season run. But clearly, poor decisions came at a price.

BET Awards 2022 – Arrivals Lamar Odom arrives at the BET Awards 2022 held at Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live on June 26, 2022 in Los Angeles, California, United States.

In 2019, when Lamar was asked how much he’d burned on dr-gs, he didn’t shy away from dropping a jaw-dropping number: “Probably $100 million.” Now that puts things into perspective. For someone who was once worth $65 million when Khloe filed for divorce back in 2013, it’s no mystery where the millions disappeared.
Eventually, his near-death experience became a wake-up call. Lamar has been vocal about reflecting on his choices — the ones that cost him not just his money, but precious time. He once admitted to “living with regrets” and owning up to the impact of his lifestyle.
And even today, those regrets linger. “All that time, I missed the game from making the wrong decisions off the court,” he reflected. “I wish I had all that back now. You know what I mean? But you got to learn to live with regrets.”
Now, as Lamar slowly rebuilds, let’s look at his NBA earnings.
What’s your perspective on:
Lamar Odom's $30 million net worth—triumph or a stark reminder of past mistakes?

His NBA contracts
Teams | Played time | NBA contracts |

Lamar Odom’s business ventures
No one expected Lamar Odom to bounce back the way he has. After all the headlines and heartache, the former NBA champ didn’t just survive—he rebuilt. While his time on Keeping Up with the Kardashians added some dollars during the peak years, everything came crashing down by the mid-2010s. Between gambling losses and a dangerous spiral into addiction, Lamar blew through millions. Yet, despite the chaos, he’s still worth around $30 million today. That’s no small feat for someone who once lost it all.

Thankfully, Lamar didn’t stop at just staying sober—he went on to create something meaningful. Post-recovery, he started taking up gigs like his appearance on Big Brother, but the real game changer was his rehab center, Odom Recovery Group. Not only did it put him back on the map financially, but it also helped thousands struggling with the same demons he once fought. One of those stories? His close friend Bam Margera. Thanks to Lamar’s team, Bam made real progress. That kind of impact doesn’t just speak volumes—it brings in opportunities. And Odom’s not stopping at one venture.
Real Estate ventures
In fact, even before all the chaos, Lamar was playing the long game. Back in 2003, he bought a stunning 8,557-square-foot mansion in Pinecrest, Florida, for just under $3 million. After his move from the Miami Heat, he didn’t just let it sit—he listed it for rent at $20,000 a month. But selling it? That was a whole different ball game. In April 2017, he tried offloading it for $5.2 million. When that didn’t work, he slashed the price to $4.5 million. Still no takers? Down again to $4.1 million.
Moreover, the price game didn’t stop there. In October 2017, he listed it at $3.8 million, only to cut it again to $3.4 million in early 2018. The very next month? He bumped it slightly back to $3.6 million. Real estate isn’t always a slam dunk—even for a two-time NBA champ.

And speaking of real estate moves, let’s not forget the one he made with Khloé. In 2014, the duo sold their 8,000-square-foot home in Tarzana, California, for $5.499 million. And the buyer? None other than The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco.
So yes, Lamar’s business portfolio might be a rollercoaster—but it’s proof he’s not done playing the game.
