As per reports, in 2023, the net worth of Rodman stands at $500,000. It comes as a surprise that he has a net worth of below $1 million, despite earning around $27 million in salaries. He also had various endorsements throughout his career and tried his hands at acting, too. 

How did Trinity Rodman become the highest-paid NWSL player?

Trinity started playing for SoCal Blues at ten. In her college years, she followed her brother to the Washington State Cougars. However, she didn’t play a single game as the season got canceled in 2020 because of the Covid pandemic. Trinity decided to go pro and made her available for the 2021 NWSL draft.

Her attacking prowess with USWNT U-20 earned her a team in the NWSL for the 2021 season. Washington Spirit picked her up in the draft, making her the youngest player to be drafted in 2021. She didn’t disappoint her franchise and made her mark on the title-winning season. Trinity notched seven goals and seven assists in her first NWSL campaign, helping the Spirit win their first title.

She became the youngest player to assist in the playoffs of the NWSL. Her seven assists were a league-high for 2021. Trinity won the NWSL Rookie of the Year 2021 and was named in the NWSL Best XI of the 2021 season. Her extraordinary first season with Spirit earned her a new contract. Spirit scrapped her earlier contract of $75,000 and offered her a new contract worth $1.1 million over four years. The new deal made Trinity the highest-paid NWSL player.

With the 2023 net worth of Trinity and Dennis almost identical, it will be interesting to see how the salary of Trinity increases over time. She has embarked on a remarkable journey, and Mallory Swanson’s injury has provided her with a chance to make inroads in the starting lineup. Only time will tell whether she takes her opportunity or not.
